Ignore Nicola Sturgeon. She’s just an attention seeker.

Truss has belittled her old school which by all other accounts was a very good school. Listening to her now it makes me think what an amazingly good school it must have been for a person who appears to have such limited intelligence to get to Oxford University.

I guess she knows what the school was like and you don’t!. Did you go to Oxford or Cambridge, just wondering. I don’t think you get to go to Oxford or Cambridge to study PPE if you are of limited intelligence.

HSPS Cambridge.

Callistamon 21 James started it all off long before 1707

No. No, he did not. There were two entirely separate nations until the Acts of Union.

It would be more accurate - but still wrong - to say that Cromwell did more to create the union, since it was during the Protectorate that the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland, and a single Westminster based Parliament came into being. It didn’t, of course, last.

Not only is Sturgeon an attention seeker known as Elsie McSelfie in Scotland. She was elected by 31% of the population and enrolled the unelected greens Lorna Slater and Patrick Harvie to have majority seats at the Scottish assembly. In same assembly January 2018 she called leader of Lib dems an attention seeker. Her and her msps have had 15 years to make Scotland better and make their case for independence instead they have spent taxpayers money on failed projects including ferries for islanders still not built and costing 10X original estimate and did not follow industry guidlines of procuring a guarantee instead tax payers are liable. She gave Gupta a business man under investigation for fraud a guarantee of 50 million and handed him not only a business but land and an estate in Scotland for the princely payment of £5. So many of her SNP Mps and Mps have been exposed as sex pests yet not one has resigned or been sacked. Audit Scotland have reported they have been unable to account for 5 Billion pounds of covid relief. When anyone asks them for freedom of information requests or enquiries they use their majority to refuse but if forced to documents are heavily redacted. Every street in Glasgow is heavily potholed. They close services and cut bin collection times. Their handling of NHS and Drug deaths are criminal both totally devolved. Anything they are in charge of they fail at. Its all spin smoke mirrors and lies. The prospect of this SNP administration forming a goverment is terrifying to any Scot with any economic sense. Their talent pool is a puddle. Her husband Peter Murrell asked indy supporters to send money to their independence fund which they were told would be ring fenced 600k was raised but later both Sturgeon and Murrell claimed although it was gone and apparently had been woven through their accounts they claimed the same amount would be paid at a later date and yet 20 million pounds of tax payers money has been allocated to their indy fund. This is the slowest police Scotland investigation with no published outcome despite FOI requests. Ian Blackford their Westminster leader claimed a quarter of a million pounds in expenses during Covid?? Sturgeon has not published hers for 10 years despite being on record promising to do so. She is an attention seeker. This post hardly scratches the surface of Sturgeon and her SNP cabal.

Well I DO Know what the school was like! It has never had less than outstanding or good reports,
She has a nerve criticising it.
She was as has been pointed out educated entirely under Tory rule….

Jeanniewmd, I hope you have your facts correct and with proof, should you be asked to provide this.

'Miss Trusst' is good but we call her 'Disatruss'!!

If they go they should do a good job of it and go completely. No mucking around, no taking grants or financial aid and don’t forget to set up good border controls so that nice long queues form.

Jeaniewmd thank you. I exactly encapsulates my exasperation at this SNP govt. This is all well known in Scotland but some English people aren't aware of this. Don't believe NS's hype.

I taught and researched for 25 years at a Russell group university and I will confirm that there are many terminally thick students there who got top results in their A levels.

Liz Truss, the best argument for Scottish Independence yet. So rude and undiplomatic. Apologies to NS and Scotland. Please don't judge us all by her standards. Absolutely shocking.

And..please don't think all the Scottish people want Independence. I agree that Liz Truss should not have said what she did but Nicola Sturgeon has insulted and made hugely numerous degrading remarks about Conservative MPs especially Boris Johnson. NS is a dictator and is trying to turn Scotland into a 'One Party State.' She will never get my vote....ever. Here in Scotland we have never had such an abnoxious and self obsessed leader.

Yes - one party state - I guess that what proportional representation does for you. Do I have to add a smiley?

but Nicola Sturgeon has insulted and made hugely numerous degrading remarks about Conservative MPs especially Boris Johnson

I’d love to see some examples

Lucca you must be comatose if you haven't heard her...but then.... her supporters are so brainwashed by her.

I live in hope…

I’m not comatose yet. But thanks. Nor brainwashed.
Why could you not just give some examples of her being offensive in public about Johnson or others that’s all I’m asking.

I mean we have seen Liz truss doing it in public.

This sort of comment by Petera is exactly why I do not believe everything I read on forums.
I do not like Liz Truss but have the common sense to realise that a person does not get into Oxford or Cambridge by being terminally thick, or thick of any kind, especially with the use of the word many.
The only not bright enough students perhaps, who attended these universities being members of the royal family.
Even with the use of private schools and extra tuition a student will not get four or more top grades at A level and be ,
As the poster puts it, thick.
Let us not go down this route because we do not approve of private schools or wealthy parents.
In the case of Liz Truss she did not have the benefit of either.

Jeanniewmd what a great post.....I totally agree with everything you say. NS is slowly wrecking Scotland.

This sort of comment is why I believe that some people will just go with their prejudices no matter what evidence is put in front of them by people who have actually have direct experience.

NS is a dictator and is trying to turn Scotland into a 'One Party State.' She will never get my vote....ever

The fact you know your vote matters proves you don’t live in a dictatorship.

Petera I have no prejudices in this matter.

Prentice. I agree about Truss not being thick in the sense of academic performance but I see how she conducts herself and the ill considered remarks she makes in public and feel,there is a lack of emotional intelligence, tact common sense.

She didn’t have private education but she had a damn good school !

As I have said I am not yet comatose …not brainwashed, but I would still like to see NS publicly saying these terrible things about elected leaders of countries.not asking much surely in the interests of debate?

Yes Lucca I think that is a more accurate picture.
