In considering a new life in London, it appears that Nicola Sturgeon is following the advice of Samuel Johnson, an English poet and playwright.

He went on: “The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England.” In this case, it’s a ‘Scotchwoman’, but there’s little point in quibbling over such details when her inability to distinguish between a man and a woman has largely contributed to her disastrous fall from grace.

In fact, in her interviews over the weekend to spark interest in her memoirs. To be honest, the former first minister appears to still be unable to understand or articulate what that difference is, whereas the vast majority of people have no such difficulty.

When asked by interviewer Julie Etchingham why she couldn’t answer the question of whether Isla Bryson (a man who claims to be a woman and is also a rapist) was a man or a woman, Sturgeon’s intellectual vacuity was brutally revealed.

She additionally stated: “Anybody who commits the most heinous male crime against women probably forfeits the right to be the gender of their choice” .

‘Blunt truth’

After the agony of debating whether a man identifying as a woman should be imprisoned in a male or female facility… The sudden emergence of an issue in Scottish society has caused trauma for many, including politicians and others. It appears that gender is determined by whether someone has been a goodie or a baddie.

According to the politician who was once Scotland’s most powerful figure, the long-standing question of whether someone is a man or a woman can be answered on a subjective scale of criminality or naughtiness.

I said yesterday on my X account: “I think the simple blunt truth with Sturgeon is that she was very cunning but not actually that bright.

Sturgeon, who now appears to be drawing a hefty salary as an occasional MSP (she will stand down next year), is rarely seen in her constituency or at Holyrood, and instead spends more time on the circuit speaking for hefty fees, says she wants to live in the UK capital. That may infuriate nationalists who believe she has done little to advance their cause.

Nicola Sturgeon’s impact on the cause of independence among those soft but persuadable supporters is, I believe, incalculable. The harm to her reputation, however, is obvious.

Rarely has one person wreaked so much havoc on a party and cause that she claimed was her very raison d’être, all while watching her once-famous reputation plummet to earth like falling space debris.

In her weekend interviews, the former SNP leader also, in what I believe will be a huge mistake, harmed the reputation of her mentor Alex Salmond.

She not only hurts his family and friends by besmirching and defaming a deceased man who is unable to defend himself, but she also demonstrates vindictiveness and callousness that is unworthy of the office of first minister she previously held.
