Why I’m glad to see the back of Nicola Sturgeon

I see Scotland as the brain of the UK, with Wales as the soul and Northern Ireland as the heart. Though I like being English – our lovely language is second to none – we’re probably not the most sensible nation on earth, so I’d call us the sense of humour. Because of this, I’ve always thought that if I was a Scot, I’d probably be a separatist. It annoyed me intensely when during the referendum the likes of David Bowie (by then resident in the USA for many years) stuck his oar in, getting his mate Kate Moss to accept a Brit award for him and pass on the message ‘Scotland, stay with us!’ The BBC’s Scotland correspondent James Cook understandably snickered ‘David Bowie enters the #indyref debate via his “representative on earth” Kate Moss – so that’s not weird at all.’    

So it is as an admirer of Scotland, as well as a feminist and a free speech fan, that I’m glad to see the back of Nicola Sturgeon, the worst thing to happen to the health – moral and physical – of Scotland since the deep-fried Mars Bar.
