I hear that Police Scotland chief constable Livingstone has just suddenly resigned. I also hear that he interviewed Sturgeon a few days ago, the day after her man Murrell was interviewed under caution. Are these events related? Is Sturgeon's Scotland a basket-case? Am I wrong?

I live in France, where they regard Scotland as a separate country (the UK they think of as England). More and more (ie Newsnight last night) the English see Scotland as a separate country. Increasingly, it's only half of the population of Scotland which doesn't think like this.

Nor is there any doubt that a criminal leak took place-that’s the basis of the 2 year investigation. The question is “whodunnit”. Here’s an interesting paradox. The police can’t find out in a criminal inquiry in 2 years, what much of Scotland’s social media have known for 5 (2/3)

And I'd also say that the fact she came out in the 80s is partly what sticks in the craw of Sturgeon, who's painted hersel intae a straight corner.

In #PrideMonth2021 I’m proud to be a Lesbian. Proud to have been out since the 80s. Proud to have fought #Section28 . But sad to have to fight again, against rampant #Lesbophobia & #misogyny . But I will because lesbians growing up need #Rights & role models

One million percent wrong. The ONLY research done on this (by Prof Cheryl Thomas KC) has found ZERO evidence of it. This is Newspeak. Compelled thought. Groupthink. Orwellism lives on in the nuSNP.

One of the bricks in the wall of this conspiracy will crack soon, and it'll all come tumbling doon. (My money's on Lady Macbeth - she's a loose cannon). This is why Sturgeon walked. And Livingstone. And Evans. And Lloyd. And Murrell. Very soon tae leave Scotland too I predict.
