Tartan Week Hell for Sturgeon, Nicola Sturgeon is the ‘ugly sister’ posing as ‘Cinderella’ that no one wants to take to the ball, no access the Trump administration, no welcome from British Foreign Office, off the invite list for most of this year’s Tartan Day celebrations, the party is going on but looks like dining alone for Nicola!

Dear All

Nicola Sturgeon is an angry wee Nat, an unpleasant character who the Scottish National Party tried to turn into someone ‘caring’, that was a failure, attempts to create a stir that Sturgeon as a woman was bring #sexysocialism were equally to fail badly.

There is nothing warm about Nicola Sturgeon, she just oozes with the ‘dark matter’ of a destroyed soul, if you were going to go anything with her you would shove her in a horror film slitting throats and lowering people into boiling vats of water, there would be a market for that slasher movie.

It comes as no surprise to me that the Americans are giving Nicola Sturgeon a 'frosty reception' in Trump's US, she was incredibly stupid to attempt to make President Donald Trump look like a fool, and when he became President, how her world must have collapsed. Alex Salmond may have started the Trump fiasco but ‘daft arse’ willing joined in, she wanted to get her bit in, when she should have kept her feral gob shut.

There is a price for stupidity and Sturgeon is paying it now.

When Sturgeon went to the US, she appeared on a talk show, this was introducing herself to the American public, to make her seem likeable and make out she is a statesman. The Jon Stewart's Daily Show was seen as an excellent vehicle for a charm offensive on the American public, although she was accidentally billed as a "comedian", there is nothing funny about Sturgeon and indeed her feral mob.

Having travelled all the way to America, there is no invitation from Donald Trump in the White House, no access route to Capitol Hill, if she wants into the White House; she has to go on the tour like a punter. Sturgeon is pretty much persona non grata, all her own doing as she called for Trump to banned from entering the UK, this is also when she came out for Hillary Clinton, another colossal mistake which show in a moment how unlike a statesman she actually is. Sturgeon isn’t a big picture political player although the press loved to say how clever she is.

So, there she goes off to America, and to compound stupidity, she decides to meet California Governor Jerry Brown, a liberal Democrat and a known foe of the President Donald Trump. Rather than building bridges, Sturgeon is building walls, so what good can Jerry Brown do her?

Nothing!

When a politician is failing at home, disaster after disaster strikes, they dig out their passports and go on foreign jaunts, whether this is to boost their esteem or popularity or attempting to dodge a political bullet depends on what mayhem they have coming down the track.

The six day visit is to California and New York and you can expect Nicola Sturgeon much like Scotland’s ‘jolly fat man’ Alex Salmond to be living well, in the lap of luxury, all paid for by the public.

Everything that Nicola Sturgeon touches or gets involved with is either crap, or turns to crap, she is a walking living breathing poisoned pill, a regular Typhoid Mary. When Nicola Sturgeon first went to America, she had the announcement of a multi-million pound investment by one of the world’s largest electronics firms, Jabil, promising hundreds of new jobs in West Lothian. Now, that £12.5million investment, supported by a £450,000 grant from Scottish Enterprise, has gone pear shaped and she is sitting with nothing.

220 job losses, so she starts in the minus column.

Equally, the Glasgow Caledonian University campus in New York City; has also proved unsuccessful.

No students.

If Sturgeon is in the USA to champion Scotland, it is clear that someone is going to have to redefine the exact meaning of champion, so far, it seems that running up a huge bill is the only ‘champion’ about this adventure. The adventure to me seems less about champion Scotland and more about Nicola Sturgeon trying to promote herself as an international player on the World stage. So, the Americans, those daft enough to turn up to hear her will get to listen to a tour of trade talks and speeches which she has managed to get into the United Nations Building.   

What I am enjoying, like a good steak, is the info from a well-placed source in New York that her visit is expected be a “bit of a damp squib”. Apparently no one is rolling out the red carpet where it counts, no welcome reception from the Foreign Office and a snub by the prestigious St Andrew’s Society.

You got to love it!

I wonder if Nicola keeps her own grievance tally or does she outsource to one of the ‘juniors’ to keep a score card for her?

So, the prestigious St Andrew’s Society rather than having Nicola Sturgeon as guest of honour at the annual Tartan Day cocktail party will instead plump with Dame Helen Barbour. Her family is pretty big on their famed clothing brand.

The source added that “no serious financier will touch her with a barge pole”. It seems that the SNP’s reputation for being financial gurus is well known, sadly the barge pole market is saturated everyone wants a ‘barge pole’ when they see Nicola coming. The great thing of SNP grievance politics is watching how the SNP sink as they keep attempting to hoist Nicola Sturgeon up.

No one likes her, even she must know this by now, as I once remarked on the blog, you don’t have to act like a rat in politics if you don’t want to, it isn't necessary, either you have ideas of merit or you don’t. And one of the things I have noticed is the continual ‘cut and paste’ of other people’s ideas by the SNP.

You just know in your heart of hearts that this has been done by people who went to University to study politics.

As Sturgeon enters Tartan hell week, the source in the US was quick to say:

“She is to receive a frosty reception and is actually off the invite list for most of this year’s Tartan Day celebrations. Ms Sturgeon has not been able to access the Trump administration and I am afraid her views on independence are viewed as a bit of a joke in the USA”.

Her views on independence viewed as a bit of a joke in the USA, from time to time, the slogan ‘daft arse’ keeps popping up in my head.

The source added;

“She has no access route to Washington. The US Ambassador Matthew Barzun left his post at the London embassy in January and his replacement, Woody Johnson, is yet to be ensconced. The British Foreign Office is not rolling out the red carpet either, the simple fact of the matter is, foreign relations are not Ms Sturgeon’s strong point. Her record up to this point is failure; you just have to look at Jabil for evidence of that.”

‘Foreign relations are not Ms Sturgeon’s strong point’, you could enlarge on that and say health isn’t her strong point, and government in general, everything she touches withers and dies a slow painful death.

The source for this story wasn’t holding back, as they are panning her all roads, Sturgeon is the gift that keeps on giving but reality check, no one wants her:

“The Scottish Government has been ostracised by the American community. This is partially because they tried to take over Tartan Week and largely because they are facing something of a reputation crisis.”

It seems the Americans aren’t into SNP centralisation, the main thing about Tartan Week in New York, is to be there, do the circuit, and build relationships, not try and take over someone else’s thing, and when possible, look calm, pleasant and approachable.

In a final dig, the source saved the best for last:

“The trouble with Ms Sturgeon is, she tries to politicise everything. Everything comes back to the one thing and people are sick of hearing about independence. While this was novel the first time around, this time people are seriously laughing at her. Moody’s ratings agency says she is facing junk bond status if she tries to go it alone and instead of taking on board the economic advice, she is literally doing the opposite. Those who understand economics are laughing at Ms Sturgeon, they find her behaviour erratic and bizarre, but there are some people who are actually more worried about the harm she is inflicting on Scotland.”

When I said earlier on that Sturgeon was in fact ‘unpopular’ Nicola Sturgeon, some of the nationalist community were quite angry, citing the stage managed photo love bombing of Nicola Sturgeon and kids.

This technique was used widely by Adolf Hitler.

5,000 miles away across a huge ocean, we have others who know the reality of Sturgeon and what she represents, she is poison. Nicola Sturgeon is a horrible nasty inept hollow and insincere individual in my opinion, there isn’t any substance there, certainly not of the statesman variety.

In the mist of celebration about Tartan Week in the US, it seems that Nicola Sturgeon is the ‘Cinderella’ that no one wants to take to the ball because lets face it, she is one of the ugly sisters, the cuckoo in the nest, and someone who just doesn’t belong there or as First Minister of Scotland.

The most important lesson she never learned is, its all about the ‘day job’.
