From 2022, an example of how Sturgeon and her devo-Unionist clique delayed and derailed the SNP’s post-Brexit independence opportunities.

“Twice as many civil servants working on gender reform plans as indyref2 bill” | HeraldScotland heraldscotland.com/politics/19897…

2/ Then there were Sturgeon’s invitations to British state loyalists to influence the SNP & infiltrate ScotGov.

3/ Another GIRUY from Ms Sturgeon to the #Yes movement.

“SNP hire Murray Foote, architect of The Vow, as top spindoctor”

“Alex Salmond credited it [the Vow] with swaying public opinion against independence”

4/ There was the deflation of #Yes movement expectations with the 31/1/2020 ‘Boris Veto Speech’ which she grinned and smiled her way through.

“For me to pretend that there are shortcuts or clever wheezes…” holyrood.com/news/view,inde…

5/ Previous to that was the choreographed character assassination of Scotland’s true independence champion and the man Westminster feared.

A crucial leak to the Daily Record (from within Sturgeon’s circle) opened the floodgates to lurid speculation ruinous defamation.

6/ She continued her fake promises of an indyref with a ‘no ifs or buts’ commitment – only to sabotage her own plan by appealing to the British Supreme Court, not to a Scottish Court. There was only ever one outcome.

7/ Even British state media couldn’t help but question her record of lies and fakery – asking questions that her carefully cultivated personality cult in the SNP dared not ask.

8/ Key figures resigning en masse as the SNP has been left a binfire of corruption, careerists and division by Ms Sturgeon and the ‘individual’ known as Peter Murrell.

If Netflix is looking for a Machiavellian plot with characters to match, here it is.
