I didn’t believe a word of it.
Like a stilted actress from the BBC Scottish low-cost soap River City, Nicola Sturgeon shakily tried to convince us that she was actually stepping down as First Minister to spend more time with her teenage nieces and nephews and enable a new generation of SNPs. fans to pursue her deranged fantasy of separatism, after insisting she wasn’t going anywhere last month.
She failed spectacularly.
At the hastily arranged press conference this morning, the woman who once believed she would end up being the new Queen of Scots was not even able to produce tears on cue like her fellow Covid extremist, Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of Scotland. New Zealand. she who she also jumped before being pushed by the public last month.
Scheming Sturgeon and Authoritarian Ardern became leading figures of the international MSM during the totalitarian lockdowns and daily TV press conferences of the Covid era, where they salivated terrorizing the public while causing ruinous damage to the economy.
But it was an extreme agenda that ended up ending the political careers of both leaders.

They completely misunderstood that the Twitter bubble, the globalist establishment and the metropolitan media elite have no idea about people’s priorities.
She knew the game was up for Sturgeon when she referred to Adam Graham, a brutal double rapist, as “she” at a car crash press conference last week.
For months, Sturgeon had tried to persuade the public that the madness of her sick gender recognition reform bill would not harm the rights of biological women.
That’s despite Sturgeon personally voting against an amendment to the bill that meant accused rapists and child sex abusers could change their gender AFTER committing an alleged crime, raising fears this could force his victims to use their new pronouns in court.
The Scots were always rightly opposed to this kind of self-identification madness, which they knew defied basic biology, decency and principles of protection of biological women.
But Sturgeon didn’t care.
He went ahead, despite massive public opposition, and decided to use poor trans people in Scotland as a political football to wage a culture war and distract from his complete failure to achieve his second illegal referendum on separatism. , after a humiliating rejection by the Supreme Court.
And perhaps he would have gotten away with it unless the Adam Graham case had burst into the public consciousness.

This barbaric guy brutally raped two women, but then used Sturgeon’s maddening ideology to convince the Scottish authorities to send him to a women-only prison by dressing in flashy pink tights, donning a blonde wig, and deciding to call herself Isla Bryson.
Graham’s ex-wife denounced the whole charade, telling MailOnline: “His gender transition is a charade for attention and an easier life in prison.” And then one of her victims spoke anonymously through her mother to insist that it was “impossible” to believe that the man who raped her was now a woman.
Only then did Sturgeon realize it was necessary to back down and humiliate, insisting that all rapists, even trans women, would be housed in men’s prisons.
However, such a common sense political position totally tripped up Sturgeon, because it meant she was now a TERF, one of the so-called trans-exclusive radical feminists who the SNP mob had been deriding as transphobic and bigoted for the last few years.
As she stumbled through a succession of embarrassing television interviews and press conferences, in which she refused to say whether Graham was a woman while referring to the rapist as her, Sturgeon’s highest-profile critics, JK Rowling and Alex Salmond, broadcast his political death. order.
Rowling tweeted: ‘Nicola Sturgeon has made it abundantly clear that any women’s groups and safeguarding experts raising concerns about her supposedly progressive agenda are bigots. What could have changed? Surely not the iron principles of it?
Sturgeon leaves with the idea that Scottish separatism will occur in the near future as nothing more than a mirage.
Salmond, Sturgeon’s political mentor turned arch-nemesis, said: “She has been reduced to a staggering incoherence… when you get to the stage where people start laughing at you, then that’s the stage where that you must realize that you are trying to defend the indefensible.’
As Sturgeon attempted to rewrite history today, she insisted she had not made the decision due to “short-term pressures”, adding: “I will always be a feminist, fight for women’s rights and stand up to threats to women’s rights.” women”. .’
Unfortunately, no one but the most ardent supporter is going to believe that; Sturgeon has rolled back the rights of biological women to safe spaces for a generation and caused genuine trans people great distress in the process.
The good news is that I think Sturgeon’s resignation is a momentous day for the Union.
He leaves with the idea that Scottish separatism will occur in the near future as nothing more than a mirage.
There is no legal, political or moral path to making such a momentous decision, so soon after the 2014 referendum, which Sturgeon and the SNP insisted at the time was a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

I don’t think Sturgeon ever thought she would be able to hold a second separatist vote.
What she wanted to do was gain a reputation as a far-left politician, for whom job opportunities would open up at the UN, the WHO, the World Economic Forum or one of those other globalist organizations.
He put his apparent cult of personality, which turned out to have a very small fan base, before the cause that he claims was his life’s work.
Perhaps most infuriating today was that Sturgeon – one of the most hateful politicians in modern history – called for less divisive politics.
Is that the same Sturgeon who proudly announced to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg a few months ago: “I hate Tories”?
The same Nicola Sturgeon who shamefully blamed English people traveling to Scotland as the reason she had failed to achieve her ridiculous Zero Covid target?
Thank goodness Scots were able to see through the media adulation surrounding Sturgeon.
By the way, if you doubt the bias of the British media, compare the herograms issued for Sturgeon today by the likes of ITV News’ Robert Peston and Sly News’ Beth Rigby with the scorn they showered on Boris Johnson and Liz Truss in the day they resigned.
But it does not matter.
People knew time was up for Scheming Sturgeon and her tearful resignation is proof that embracing an extreme woke agenda and then calling a rapist a “she” is a ticket to political oblivion.
Best of all, it leaves the useless and divisive cause of Scottish separatism in tatters.
What a legacy!
