Sturgeon's Legacy


I've put together a little list of things which summarise for me Nicola Sturgeon's legacy as a former First Minister and leader of the SNP:

  • Self-ID baloney 
  • NHS record waiting lists
  • Covid care home deaths
  • Ghost Ferries - what a waste
  • Falling standards in education
  • SNP members - leaving in droves
  • Failure to upgrade and dual the A9
  • Job creation for useless Green ministers
  • Scotland - still the drug deaths capital of Europe
  • SNP spin - still over-promising and under-delivering 
  • Higher council tax charges and poorer council services
  • The SNP's reputation previous for 'competent government' now in tatters
  • Close of Grangemouth oil refinery - 'leave North Sea oil and gas in the ground', Sturgeon said

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
