Dear All
Former SNP Deputy Leader Jim Sillars is right when he says
that Nicola Sturgeon’s reputation has been dented by a series of bad judgements.
The latest as we all know is the recent and hurried ditching
of her new universities minister within a period of 24 hours. Although Sturgeon
was promoted by herself and the SNP as a kind of ‘superwoman’, the fact is that
this was a cover to conceal a career which is based on failure.
Failure has been the hallmark of Sturgeon’s career which the
public got an eye opener when she was made Health Sec, promoted as an SNP
flagship policy, health was supposed to have been turned around. The facts are
under the SNP right across the board standards are slipping and the service is
in crisis.
Jim Sillars is right when he says that Sturgeon had final
responsibility” for vetting candidates, because her position is so weak as a
leader, Gillian Martin was dropped. Martin made offensive comments in blog
posts before she entered politics. In this day of political correctness,
parties care more about the opinions of their political opponents than they do
about their own members. Martin was dropped to preserve a false image to the
public that the SNP are whiter than white.
I agree when Jim Sillars says:
“Once lost, a reputation for competence and judgement is
hard to recover.”
This is the public perception; the reality is that Nicola
Sturgeon lost competence and judgement way before she became First Minister.
The date is the article was published is the point to draw
to your attention, Wed 24 Feb 2010, it is 2018 now.
Jim Sillars added:
“Two things are fatal to a senior politician: becoming a
figure of mockery or when there is a general belief in a lack of judgment built
up when that deficiency is apparent on important issues. Nicola Sturgeon is
not subject to the first but open to an accusation of the latter.”
On the issue of mockery:
And less we forget:
My personal fav send
up of Sturgeon.
Anyway, the Sturgeon
Empire was founded on grievance and identity politics, and given the way the
SNP operate, no serious rival waits in the wings.
The proof of that
pudding is the election of Keith Brown as a Deputy leader then ditched as a Cabinet
Minister.
No room at the inn
for that stooge!
Nicola Sturgeon and
the SNP fought a bad Brexit campaign; in fact you could say that their lack of commitment
was geared up to support an exit. On polling day at a school in Govan, no one
from the SNP turned up until 4.45 pm. This polling station had a catchment of
over 5,000 voters, the SNP however did turn up at the count that way they could
claim credit if there was a win without actually doing any of the graft to
achieve it.
The SNP cheered as
the early results came in, by the end they were strangely silent, the rank and
file cult members.
No Nicola Sturgeon
show that night.
When Sturgeon
demanded and pushed for a second independence referendum in the
aftermath of 2016’s Brexit vote, it was as Jim Sillars said a
“monumental misjudgement of what the result meant”, followed by a series of
further bad decisions, at that point, the SNP were without a narrative for
independence because their ‘plans’ were all about ‘Scotland in Europe’, now
that landscape had changed totally.
Nicola Sturgeon decided to adopt the ‘low road’ style of
politics, when she opted for a “deliberate obstructive posture” in negotiations
with Theresa May, rather than jumping in for the win, Sturgeon followed
the same stupid path she tread before of thinking that Scots back her if she
started a fight with Westminster.
The banner cry was ‘power grab’, and the gullible elected SNP
members all climbed on parroted out the mantra as if an injustice had been done
or was in the process of being done.
No injustice to Scotland was being done other than Nicola
Sturgeon attempting to deceive Scots yet again, people are sick of the talk of
independence, they are sick of the talk of identity politics and they are sick
of Nicola Sturgeon.
Finally, a lot has been said about how slick the SNP
operation around Nicola Sturgeon is, but the reality is these people are
involved in a cover up to keep an inept, incompetent, vacuous, hollow woman who
exhibits bad judgement on a seemly daily basis. You can’t have failed to notice
that the murmurings against Sturgeon are starting to grow and within her own
party. There is a lack of a narrative in the SNP, what needs to happen is a
change of government because things wouldn’t get better while the party
festers.
Nicola Sturgeon has nothing to offer the people of Scotland

The nut has been a total lunatic since the day she took over from Salmond. She has literally destroyed the Scottish nationalist movement single-handed. Independence in Europe, oh my, the woman is a complete nutcase. She’s done a New Lie@bour to the SNP; betrayed her core voters. The MSM in the UK, even over seas but especially in Scotland are not reflecting the truth about what we really think because the MSM is 100% pro Europe and 100% pro elite/globalist.
Every one I know can't stand the nut job, that includes Yes voters and former SNP voters.
She is detestable. My generation will never support the SNP again.
Kranky, Kranky, Kranky. Out! Out! Out!
