Nic Sturge-on Told Off by Police Scotland For Not Wearing Mask. Will She Now Do the Decent Thing and Resign?
Nicola Sturgeon escaped with a telling off from police today after being pictured without a mask on during an election trail stunt at the weekend. MailOnline has more.
Scotland’s First Minister was investigated by Police Scotland after being seen without a face cover during an SNP local election campaign visit to a barber shop on Saturday.
While England dropped its mask mandate weeks ago, Scotland only removed the law requiring face coverings today.
If found to have broken the law, Miss Sturgeon would face a £60 fixed penalty notice, and there were calls for her to quit if that happened – as she insisted Boris Johnson should have done after his Partygate fixed-penalty notice.
But this afternoon, Police Scotland revealed that officers had spoken to the First Minister “to remind her of the importance of wearing a face covering when there is a legal requirement to do so”.
“Given the circumstances of this incident, Police Scotland is satisfied that no further action is necessary. This is in line with our proportionate approach throughout the pandemic,” it said in a statement.
Ms Sturgeon apologised this afternoon, saying: ‘I accept that not wearing a face covering even for a few seconds was an error on my part and I am sorry for that.’
She has been vocal this week in demanding that Boris Johnson quit after being handed a £50 fine for breaking his own Covid laws. And today Ms. Sturgeon was facing similar demands.
Tory MSP Stephen Kerr said: “Sturgeon walked into a barbers without a mask, breaking the rules she’s spent two years intoning at us from behind her podium.
“How’s that ”Send Boris a message” going?”
And former Dragons’ Den star Duncan Bannatyne tweeted: “Nicola Sturgeon is a very honourable lady and will do the right thing and show by example by resigning first thing tomorrow morning.”

Will she resign? Of course not. She’s as dishonourable as all the rest.
Less than zero – no mention, as usual, that wearing the things has no evidence base. Dishonourable is meaningless. These creatures are bathing in negation and fundamentally beyond redemption. I would vomit at my true self if I were such. Pure stench of putrid infamy and redolent of decay. Modern society in freefall. That creature is an exemplar of this decadence.
Honourable members have been far from that for some time. Does anyone remember the good old days of “misleading the House”?
For the benefit of any children in the room, once upon a time providing false information to parliament required the resignation of those who had committed the offence. It was thought to be very, very important that those who sought to govern others should not be liars. Parliament in particular was a sacred place; but being caught in a lie anywhere was regarded as a clear indication of unfitness for office.
In the House of Commons, John Profumo resigned in 1963; as Johnson conspicuously did not in 2021 (I trust and hope that there were other examples after Profumo). In Australia, the Premier of South Australia (John Olsen) resigned in 2001; the Deputy Premier of Tasmania (Steve Kons) resigned in 2008. They are beginning to look quaint.
Amazing. As I began to read your comment AE, I immediately thought of John Profumo, whom my father, a professional soldier in the Royal Artillery, met when Profumo was Secretary of State for War. Profumo made a lasting (favourable) impression on him.
Not only that, she’s Scottish: it’s English rule breakers who are hypocritical while Scots just make understandable errors. The Scottish cops, who owe the existence of their single national force to SNP patronage, will not bite the hand that feeds it.
Any chance of a moratorium on pictures of the “first fish”, Toby (or at least only with a mask on!)? Make me feel almost as queasy as Matt Hancock ones.
Absolute hypocrite, and not for the first time. She is an embarrassment to Scotland. This woman does not speak for Scotland, or even all of the independence movement.
(And don’t forget, Devi “100% safe” Sridhar’s best mate too).
I reckon Devi’s pretty popular at Nicolas “special parties”. Which of course are a baseless rumour that it would be churlish to propagate.
Rug-munching orgies?
…
Rumour has it that similar to the painting of BillyBoy Clinton hanging in Epsteins nansion, this little piece of how it sees itself hangs in Nicola Stalins pad.
Couldn’t possibly comment on common factors & danger to children..
It looks more like Toya Wilcox than wee Jimmy Crankie.
Nicola’s type don’t “propagate”.
She might at least have had a shave and a hot towel when she was in the barbers’s.
Resigning would be the honourable thing. This cunt doesn’t know the meaning of the word honourable
Shame?
Honesty?
A sense of decency?
Don’t make me laugh.
What if the miserable bitch admitted that the muzzle rules are, and have always been, oppressive garbage based on a blatant lie; that their sole purpose is to induce abject conformity among cowards, to humiliate and to terrify; that she never for an instsnt believed that muzzles made the slightest difference to the lurgie; and that no human being ought ever to have been forced, or even allowed, to wear the foul things? It might redeem a few jots of her guilt. But the self-damned never seem to want to slow their own, inexorable approach to Hell.
Yes. The imposition of masks/muzzles is not a small deal. It’s a very big deal indeed, for exactly the reasons you outline.
I have also come to believe that, for a time at least and as a part of vital de-conditioning, anyone wearing a mask should be told firmly but politely that it must be removed before entry into a public space. If they are worn outside a public space, therapy should be offered.
Like this?
That looks sufficiently polite. I’m feeling particularly pissed off with them at the moment.
Yes, it wasn’t ever ‘just a mask’, it was government-mandated absurdity.
The mask mandates were never anything to do with ‘the science’, and everything to do with easily identifying the dissenters.
Will she resign? Of course the self-deified supreme muppet wouldn’t even consider it. That highlights her total contempt for the people of Scotland and for the law. And what is even more sickening, is that many of those people that she has such contempt for … will contnue to vote for her … no matter how many times she lies to courts, or is found with her hand in the till or takes out court orders to stop the distasteful details of her personal life being read.
Perhaps it says more about the contempt of people in Scotland for the “old corrupt parties”. Both Conservatives and Labour have badly betrayed people in Scotland. And the Lib Dems don’t want any sort of independence (and probably are far removed now from the likes of Paddy Ashdown, Tim Farron and Sarah Teather who might get more votes and at least have some sort of principles).
Both Conservatives and Labour have badly betrayed people in England too.
She doesn’t need one, it’s ridiculous, she should tell everyone, do as I do, I’m the boss of you
Words of Advice, 2022, colourised.
And former Dragons’ Den star Duncan Bannatyne tweeted: “Nicola Sturgeon is a very honourable lady and will do the right thing and show by example by resigning first thing tomorrow morning.”
Do you really believe this? I certainly do not and nor, do I think, do you.
I am sure that you are referring to Mark Antony’s speech at the funeral of Caesar. ‘And Brutus is an honourable man, so are they all, all honourable men.’
Like Johnson. and ALL the rest of our disgusting MPs, (Sir Desmond Swaine is an honourable exception) Nicola Sturgeon is a full-bloodied, total hypocrite. The New Testament has numerous references to hypocrisy, where are you Welby???
Nipoleon’s worse than a hypocrite; she’s a narcissistic, self-serving, useless fucking trans-cunt bitch.
One slight positive that could come out of this is if the story is widely shared, and the fact that face coverings were a legal requirement at the time, but aren’t any longer is highlighted. There seems to have been little or no coverage in the media that Scotland’s mask mandate ended today, and a lot of people I saw out and about/in the supermarket were still muzzled. It makes me wonder if they’re permanent bedwetters, or sheep who didn’t realise the rules had changed.
I made it 90% still sheepish yesterday Matt
Re: “Will She Now Do the Decent Thing and Resign?”
The “decent thing” is not to resign but to denounce the mask idiocy as the utter B.S. that it is. That would make a far stronger impact and she would actually reserve a small place for herself in the history books as someone who belatedly broke ranks and spoke the truth. There’s essentially zero chance of that happening, though.
In answer to the question I was going to comment “Is the Pope a Catholic?”, but I thought I might be misunderstood.
Do you mean the present Pope ?
The present Pope is fully consistent with Catholicism, his anti-capitalism in particular.
There, there: keep taking the tablets.
There, there, keep evading the fact that the Pope is fully consistent with faith and altruism, that capitalism cannot be defended from a position of faith and altruism.
Keep pretending Pope Paul VI wasn’t the forerunner of the current Pope:

Sturgeon is surely scared that if she leaves office she’ll be going to prison where she belongs. (And not for failing to wear a face rag.)
The same nut case who held the Scottish people ransom for over two years? Anyone know what that cost the WEF?
When is sanity going to return to science? Unless something has changed since my microbiology course at university this whole face nappy wearing is complete nonsense anyway. As every scientist knows but for some reason so many go along with.
No resignation needed. Let those who voted SNP have the full benefit of her party’s decision making
I expect she is penning her resignation letter right now!
She’s like a very stubborn winnet, she’ll not be shaken off this easily
Will Sturgeon ever apologise for ordering the damn mask mandate in the first place? There is no way under the sun that she doesn’t know that they are useless and totally ineffective, so she has continued to tell an outright LIE. This is of course on top of the outright LIE that the vaccines are ‘safe and effective’, which is on top of the next outrigt LIE that asymptomatic transmission is a thing, and of course the outright LIE that there are no effective therapeutic treatments for covid. After FOUR strikes, why isn’t she out??
All correct, her hypocrisy is irrelevant, her incessant nannying is what is important.
What amazes me, is that the mask mandate was never (AFAIK) challenged in the Scottish parliament or in court, by asking for actual proof, i.e. genuine scientific evidence of effectiveness. Why has no Scottish parliamentarian stood up and told the truth?
Well, much as I detest the Northern Witch, this offense, if accurately reported, is hardly comparable to Bozo’s!
