Nicola Sturgeon (born July 19, 1970) is a Scottish extreme left dictator who since 2014 has held the positions of leader of the Scottish National Party, the Scottish socialist, establishment ruling party which has historic ties with Nazism, and First Minister of Scotland.
She has run the Scotland, described in March 2021 as the "most authoritarian country in Western Europe", in a police state fashion and is regarded to have merged nation and party in a manner akin to Hitler in Nazi Germany and Stalin in the Soviet Union.[1][2][3] The Sturgeon regime has destroyed free speech in Scotland, even within the home and pushed legislation to allow state officials to interfere with family life.[4][5]
Early life
Nicola Ferguson Sturgeon was born in Irvine, Scotland on 19 July 1970, the first child of Robin Sturgeon (b. 1948), whose mother was from the English city of Sunderland, and Joan Kerr Ferguson (b.1952). Spending her school years at Dreghorn Primary (1975-1982) and Greenwood Academy (1982-1988), the future dictator graduated from the University of Glasgow with a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1992. Her lecturer at Glasgow, Alistair Bonnington, remarked that he "failed to instill in [Sturgeon] the most basic rules of how the institutions of government work in the free world".[2]
Sturgeon was a solicitor until 1999. Her legal career ended when she was investigated for professional misconduct; Sturgeon hadn't sought a court order against a client's violent partner and lied about sending off a legal aid application.[6]
Political career
Early years and rise to power
Sturgeon first became a political activist in retort to Conservative UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She joined the SNP in 1986. She ran as an SNP candidate for Shettleston in 1992, in which she was the youngest parliamentary candidate in Scotland, and Govan 1997, failing to win either seat. She was also unsuccessful in various local elections in 1992, 1994 and 1995.
She has been a member of the Scottish Parliament since its establishment in 1999, first as a regional representative for Glasgow until 2007. She has represented the constituency of Glasgow Southside ever since, winning that seat in 2007 with 41.9% of the vote.
Nicola Sturgeon became deputy leader of the Scottish National Party under Alex Salmond in 2004, becoming deputy first minister in 2007 after the SNP won that year's Scottish parliamentary election.
In October 2011, Sturgeon tweeted that she was "sad" about the death of English entertainer Jimmy Savile.[7] Savile was a pedophile.
Establishment of dictatorship (2014-present)
Following the referendum decision in Scotland to remain a part of the UK, Alex Salmond resigned as First Minister and leader of the SNP. Sturgeon was elected First Minister of Scotland by way of a vote in the Scottish Parliament. Sturgeon's regime in Scotland has repeatedly been labelled as "dictatorial" and "authoritarian".[8][9]
Despite independence being rejected less than a year prior, Nicola Sturgeon stated in April 2015 that she would hold a second independence referendum if the SNP won the Scottish parliamentary elections in 2016.[10]
Sturgeon and her party began pushing the police state "Named Persons Act" in 2016. This authoritarian bill was designed to "monitor the happiness" of every child in Scotland. The act was defeated in 2019.[5]
Sturgeon stated in December 2018 that she wanted power to take Scotland's rail transport networks into government ownership.[11] In 2022, the company ScotRail became entirely state-owned.
During a BBC Scotland debate in December 2019 for the UK General Election that year, Nicola Sturgeon publicly denounced capitalism and free-market economics. During the election campaign, she proposed a deal to make communist Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn prime-minister.[12]
In July 2020, during the Chinese Communist Party pandemic, Dictator Sturgeon suggested the illegal action of quarantining English visitors at the Scottish border.
Dictator Sturgeon voted in favour of her right-hand henchman Humza Yousaf's "Hate Crime Bill", which passed the Scottish Parliament in March 2021.[13][14] The law prosecutes anybody who "behaves in a manner that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening, abusive or insulting", including in instances where such behavior took place in the privacy of the home.[4]
In May 2021, Sturgeon was blasted by Mark Dolan for "dictatorial behavior" for pushing for a second "independence" referendum without a democratic majority.[9]
Sturgeon was slammed as "discourteous" and "insulting" by Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham in June 2021 after she banned people from the City of Manchester from visiting Scotland.[15]
The dictator resorted to spreading a conspiracy theory that the UK Government was trying to make Scotland poorer in order to keep the Union together.[16]
In January 2022, Sturgeon attempted to make her regime's "emergency" CCP pandemic powers permanent. The move was condemned by former SNP deputy-leader Jim Sillars.[8]
Views, policies and behaviour
During the Coronavirus pandemic which started in 2020, Nicola Sturgeon supported harsh, China-style lockdowns. Her administration was also the first in the UK to introduce Orwellian vaccine passports for nightclubs and attempted to make permanent the emergency coronavirus powers.
Economy and taxation
Sturgeon's economic agenda is socialist, she harbors intense anti-capitalist views,[12] and her tax policy in 2021 took an extra £535 million from the pockets of Scottish workers with only £6 million in extra spending power.[17]
She supports government ownership of utilities; nationalizing ScotRail and establishing a state-run energy company.
Independence
Sturgeon claims to be a "nationalist", although she holds the self-contradictory view that Scotland should secede from the UK only to join the globalist European Union.
International policy
She kicked Donald Trump out of the GlobalScot business network.[18] She also urged Americans not to vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 US Presidential election, which she incorrectly predicted he would lose.[19] She believes the United States should implement gun control.[20]
In January 2022, it was revealed that Nicola Sturgeon had links to a Chinese Communist Party spy who had infiltrated UK politics.[21]
Social policy
She supports the backwards practice of abortion for up to 24 weeks gestation.
Nicola Sturgeon has been named "Britain's greatest foe to freedom of speech" by members of the Free Speech Union following her government's enactment of the extremely controversial Hate Crime Act.[22]
Public opinion
Nicknames and as a subject of humour
Nicola Sturgeon has been nicknamed "the Nictator" (a portmanteau of her name "Nicola" and "dictator") as a result of her establishing a police state in Scotland.
She is frequently compared in her appearance to Scottish comedy character Jimmy Krankie.
Popularity
Nicola Sturgeon is widely despised in the UK at large, with YouGov polls showing that as of 1 February 2022 she was disliked by nearly 50% of UK adults, with only 28% returning a positive opinion.[23]
