The Unstoppable Lie Machine

Posted on July 13, 2026 by

Six weeks ago, Nicola Sturgeon said this:

Today, on her behalf, her perpetually furious lawyer said this:

So she was lying. Imagine literally nobody’s surprise. “I have nothing to hide, but I’m going to hide it anyway” is flawlessly in character.

(Though we must take a moment to note that the idea of anyone bothering to release her “police interview” – seven hours of “No comment” – is hilarious.)

In the intervening time, both Police Scotland and the Crown Office have made it very plain that Sturgeon was NOT “exonerated”, something only a judge and jury have the power to do, but Anwar lies about it anyway because neither of them has the slightest clue how to do anything but lie any more.

Everywhere Sturgeon goes, the lies glisten in her wake like a snail trail. The former First Minister, a coward to the last, is nothing but a stain on Scotland’s history.

    Ah the good old “exonerated”. That’s what I used to bring down Jeffrey Archer all those years ago. Are you sure you don’t want me sending you my stuff on the late John Smith? Anglia Television is where the paths of Archer and Smith collided back in May of 1994.

    I genuinely commit a crime virtually every day. Whether it’s exceeding a speed limit, peeing in the woods when caught short, running an amber light, or mindlessly discarding a cigarette butt. However, I’ve never been charged, prosecuted or convicted, therefore I’m completely innocent.

    Now if that was me, and I had nothing to hide I’d be demanding that the “police interview” was published.
    But the thought that she’s hiding something will go on and on.

    Methinks the woman denies to much…..

  7. It is a joy to behold, that sharp common sense coupled with dogged persistance applied like an old fasioned poultice to the offending area, that is patiently and adoitly with almost loving care repeatedly administered until the pus starts to weep out, you have them kicking and screaming on the mend.
    Wont be long now. Very well done.

    Every terrorist who gave a no comment interview can now be said to have fully cooperated with the police. At least according to Sturgeon and her celebrity lawyer.

      Isn’t there expression meant to be “gold-standard”. “Gold-plated’ suggests it looks authentic and real at first glance but is virtually worthless underneath. Or maybe that was the point lol

    Anwar has been a radge wee man for most of his adult life. Ever since he got a bit of a shoeing up the West End of Glasgow when he was young.
    He comes across as very arrogant and entitled. Perhaps Scotland is too “White” for him also.

    “The former First Minister…is nothing but a stain on Scotland’s history.”

    Indeed Rev, however the fact remains that “a colonized people are in no way a subject of history any more” (Memmi).

    There is also a tendency for collaborating native elites and “confidential agents pensioned off by colonialism” to seek refuge in the mother country (Fanon), or its ‘dominions’ (Elkins).

    When it’s all laid out like Rev Stu has done it becomes so very clear what a barefaced liar Nicola Sturgeon is.

    Her halo has slipped, and like the whores drawers, her reputation is around her ankles.

    The black facade cannot however go on. The reputation of the Crown Prosecution Fiscal Service and Police Scotland is in tatters. These rotten and corrupt arms of the state are now being exposed internationally for what they are.

    No one, and I mean no one can have any confidence in the so called rule of law. It does not exist. It is a carefully polished myth and Sturgeon is exposing it to be so.

    The reality of course is a gangster state for all the world to see. And Sturgeon is doing her best to show that.

    But her chutzpah of denial will come to an end. The state will have to prosecute her, and indeed others. She is a rotten bad egg and her, and others time is coming to an end.

    And not a moment to soon. The big bang is coming.

    Question…

    Does Alf Baird really post his repetitive mince himself ?

    Or does he have a bot churning out irrelevant quotes every time it is triggered by certain keywords ?

    The down side of being a Wings reader is that you find yourself shouting at the English media reporting on all of this;
    “We know that!”
    “Yes and we know that as well. Get to the bloody point!”
