I became your enemy because I tell you the truth

Another one bites the dust! The New York Times ran a refreshing story yesterday headlined, “Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s Former Leader, Is Arrested in Financial Inquiry.” The sub-headline added, “The arrest of Ms. Sturgeon, who resigned as leader of the Scottish National Party in February, follows that of her husband, previously the party’s chief executive, and of its former treasurer.”
Sturgeon was one of the gaggle of odious, now-disgraced lockdown tyrantesses, including New Zealand’s horse-faced Jacinda Ardern and Finnish party girl Sanna Marin. Sturgeon tried to cancel unjabbed people using vaccine passports, but was halted at the last second by vast protests and churlish, uncooperative British Ministers of Parliament.
Here are a few of Nicola’s best hits:
The criminal charges against the former Prime Minister are somewhat murky. It has something to do with $600,000 or maybe $750,000 in missing or misused campaign funds. It’s not clear. But following the usual template, when Sturgeon suddenly and unexpectedly resigned earlier this year, she was promptly replaced by the former Health Minister, Humza Yousaf, who oversaw the haggis-eating country’s bloody covid response.
Of course.
I don’t really know much about Scottish politics, or whether Sturgeon is legit crooked, or is just getting Trumped by her political enemies. It’s impossible to summon any sympathy for her, though, after what she put the Scottish people through.
Maybe one of our Scottish C&Cers can give us the local point of view…
All it takes for Evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing
