- Nicola Sturgeon said she will carry the impact of decisions she made throughout the Covid-19 pandemic will stay with her forever.
She said she wanted to ensure that “those who come after me in politics have the benefit of the learning, the things my government did right and the things that my government that were not right or with hindsight that we wish we had done differently.
“I cannot say strongly enough how important that is to me.
“These decisions were of a magnitude beyond what I had ever experienced, and that is true of decision makers everywhere and the impact of them I think about literally every day.
“I want this inquiry and the Scottish inquiry to scrutinise those decisions so that we can learn and future governments can learn lessons from them.”

An utter embarrassment and disgraceful person to the Scottish Electorate 😡😡😡😡🏴🏴
They all deserve prison
Compulsive and unapologetic liar 🤥
Isn’t every politician crooks and liars
I'm a body language expert. She's a liar. Let's get the lie detector over from USA.
Iam not but it plain to see
Indeed
We don't need any experts...if she speaks...she lies..same as Humza Useless.
Sodium Thiopental or Polygraph 😮
Bring back Jeremy Kyle lie detector for Wee Jimmy Krankie
Favourite politicians phrases "we will learn from our mistakes". The problem is they don't.
We all make mistakes her mother made 1
Never do it’s BS
Is that not what this enquiry is about ?
Only when it suits,their purposes.
Who owns the motor home.
A practised liar for sure
Lock her up!
I wish
Twenty thousand words, when yes or no is the required answer.
True, think she's trying to bore us to death , her voice was going right through me
Why is she able to determine herself what messages are and are not 'relevant' to the inquiry? That's for the legal teams to work through on both sides. She needs to comply with the Inquiry's ask, which is to submit, unredacted and unamended/deleted, exchange of messages and Whatsapps over the period in question. What a farce!
She can't. She broke the law.
@@onlycheeseislife that’s for the inquiry or a later judge to decide. She can’t pick and choose what evidence she hands over.
There are established legal requirements for the preservation of documents and records.
She broke the law.
As a qualified lawyer Nicola is more than capable of determining which messages are relevant and which are not.
That's not how the law works.....
Jail her
A good liar will convince you. A great liar convinces themselves. Nicola. You are great.
She takes politicians to a new low, horrible person.
Still making herself the martyr for all of Scotland and the only victim in all of this.
She is not a martyr just a liar.
More word salad when a simple answer would surfice.
Here is what we learned about you Nickola, you have provided another word salad to save your own slippery skin.
I suggest they contact WhatsApp to get the truth rather than wasting their time listening to this compulsive liar.
There is no such thing as Deleted messages on WhatsApp as they remain on the Company's server
Potentially locked away behind e2e encryption (once wiped on phone, the 'key' is no longer available) .
Ill educated guess though
Wrong pal, they do not store messages on their servers. A quick google search would have told you that before exposing yourself as a plonker
How much server space do you think exists. WhatsApp generates 100 billion messages per day at on average 30K bytes per message.
Mossad have a backdoor and save every VIPs messages
@@brimans3092 Only if Israel is completely covered in data storage devices and Israel spends it's entire GDP on it. Somewhere there must be a tremendous data pipe.
Learn from mistakes, if you are an ordinary working class person learn from mistakes means you pay for the crime via monetary and jail time. You learn quickly that it is going to cost you everything you have got. It should be the same for the so called top tier elites in society who just get away with everything.
How is it that NS always manages to make anything and everything about her.
Lying comes as naturally as breathing to her.
Another lying politician
Since when does she think only her decisions as to what was relivent to keep or delete made?. Surely this is elegal
Its what every entity says when it gets caught out, ' we will learn from this going forward'😊
Whether her opinion on Boris Johnson being fit to be PM is her ONLY opinion. She has to respect the UK electorate. He WAS elected as PM by the UK including Scottish voters also. Is she fit as 1st minister. Pot and Kettle.
More Pol Pot
He wasn’t elected by the public, he was elected by his Tory party members.
Who IS this interrogator. He’s appalling.
Just shows you what you know then. I would ascertain not a lot based on your comment.
cultist sycophant tears
Lock her up immediately !
Utter contempt and natural liar. Get to jail, with the rest of the rotten SNP. You only delete things if you do not want others to see it.
Deceiver
A complete and utter liar who should be locked up.
Does anyone believe this?
You can tell she's lying, because her lips are moving.
Crocodile tears
What about the burner phones?
What are you hiding nicky ?
When you cannot even say the word ‘Wrong’ it just proves to me she has been tutored in her responses!
It’s about time a lie detector was used
She found some messages that she provided to the enquiry, not all messages. It sounds like she picked only the ones she wanted to divulge to the enquiry.
she was quick to say to other UK politicians like BJ an apology wasn't good enough
She should be in jail
“A personal assurance” fro Sturgeon, she is delusional!
Sturgeon has achieved the impossible….she has made Boris look like an honest politician compared to her. Well done for that ,Jimmy.
Fandabbydosey
Only a Conservative lover would have the gall to make such a ridiculous comment.
@@user-zw3bg9vr5g and only a dimbo would not recognise that was said tongue in cheek.
A guilty word salad if there was one.
She is a liar, always has been.
Take a drink everytime she says 'clear"
Oh , how uncomfortable was she? Watching her discomfort i had a schadenfreude moment!
She always has an excuse and uses deflection when answering
She is an expert at waffling
More BS from Sturgeon.
Just think , she single handely scuppered any chance of independence. And that was her whole reason for living.
‘what can i get you ma’am’ ?
‘another round of plausibly deniability’ please’ !
Excess deaths in uk?
Modazalan and morphene
Im so shocked. Whilst they were making millions instead of working for Scotland. They think we are stupid pesants when infact theres people who have morals for our country.
2024 needs to see correct justice for how she has behaved and at the least her pension should be denied.
Totally agree. Wonder if they know honesty.
What happened to the missing money her and her husband stole ?
Claiming she deleted them due to security concerns.....so that means every email and message ever sent should be deleted as well? She didn't even minute her emergency meetings.....how can that possibly be accepted?
The question is.....Were you lying then or now = answer BOTH.
The more I listen to her at the enquiry the more disalluisioned I am by her antics. She says one thing but means another. Was she really expecting to get away with telling the enquiry she had destroyed her whats app records? How bad could they have been? (The mind boggles) I thought digital technology was such that it was impossible to totally eliminate records. Are we actually hearing the truth or a version? Are there records that will remain hidden for ever? It's not fair on those who just want the truth about their loved ones.
Every time she speaks she gives a masterclass in verbosity and deliberate filibustering. Up in the midlands we would say: "She's gone a long way around for a short cut."
Why did you tell freeman swinney leich to delete there WhatsApp messages for sorry if wrong did this pf ask her this question
Shocking
How many times has she used the word.”Apologise”?
We have learned nothing about the serious aspects of dealing with a pandemic. The obsession with WhatsApp messages has obscured any learning which might have come from a serious inquiry. But instead we are spending hours on this trivial matter. There are copious records of every decision taken by the Scottish Government as well as hundreds of live TV briefings. Nicola Sturgeon used WhatsApp for its intended purpose - social media. There's a clue in the name.
Why are we having two enquiries?
Scotland made different rules to the rest of the UK, which were screwed up by the Scottish government. Decisions made need to be addressed - but Krankie was one step ahead and wiped everything.
@@b.nichols3255I wouldn't expect anything less from this woman.
D.E.I. ! 😂
She’s got , going off at a tangent as amusing as nails on a blackboard .
Disgraceful!
Why does she make an essay when answering a question. It is all about “I” and “me”. She repeats things two or three times in an answer.
Waffling lie after lie
Was not clear, how was it not clear, it was actually written down, learning? You are paid by the public to tell the truth.
Slippery as an eel.
It's unbelievable that this woman is going to get away with everything,maybe she should sit down with the families of the covid pandemic and explain to them why she can't remember basically everything. That won't happen will it.????
Not likely
What a clown
What a imposter
Think of the power that’s handed to these people.... then some mutterings at an inquiry..... then a book deal 👍
Couldn’t say ‘wrong’ so had to say ‘not right’.
Hind sight? No, forewarned and dismissed.
Horrible inside and out….evil to the core
Can you go to jail for deceiving parliament ?
Nothing will happen . Let's all move on to the next scandal
Not as clear . She means “ I lied”. The woman can give half hour answer instead of saying “ yes” or “ no” . Sick of the lies and long winded excuses . They scrubbed to ensure no trail back to what they did incorrectly . She did not produce Furst caps then suddenly appeared . She lies and lies and Luke’s .
Instead of just saying “ I lied “, she rambles on a load of utter twaddle
That's not how its supposed to work Nicola. Everything in its original form dhould be provided to the inquiry and they decide what is germain or relevant.
I was charged with murder. When all of you the jury judges and prosecutors bring me to court, I will decide what evidence is relative to my own prosecution, ok?
Thanks! 😁😁😁
Despicable me
I apologise I lied but tuff
l think she should get a gold medal for telling lies
Time has finally caught up with Jimmy Crankie aka Nicola Sturgeon what goes round comes round. She had the cheek to call Boris a clown ( although it’s completely true) Who’s been made to look a clown now Nicola yes you and sorry doesn’t cut it Ms. Hypocrite
How can future governments learn anything with nothing to look back in she deleted msgs
Lies pure lies.
Word salad answer to a simple question. She said she would hand them over and then deleted them. Actions speak louder than words. Facts are poof. Word salad is not.
When I answer questions,I lie, as I’ve done throughout my very lucrative career.
Was sturgeon there to answer questions or make speeches, which they keep letting her do.
A friend of Hilary!
Criminal!!!!
Yes yes yes lugubrious blah blah ...where are the messages?
What is the Scots word for waffle?
Talking pish
Doesn't matter what the enquiry says. Everyone knows what it's going to say and everyone already knows what really happened....
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Word salad
Blah blah blah
More word salad
This woman waffles on trying to justify what she did, she deleted the messages when she said she would give them all to the enquiry she had already deleted them…she lied
As ungenuine a person as you will see. She was in charge. But she deflects and plays with words. Horrible 🏴🏴
Tears of a clown.
Snake
This just a constant line of lies, drivel, repeating herself and running down the clock.
