Nicola Sturgeon tries to dodge trans prisoners question told her opinion matters as she intervened

On Monday Nicola Sturgeon was asked if she thought that 'Current procedures and policies for assessing where a trans prisoner who's committed a sexual offence should go are appropriate?'

The First Minister then went on to explain the Scottish Prison Services stance on the matter.

Ms Sturgeon was then pushed again about what she thought as it was pointed out that she and her minister has intervened in the Isla Bryson case, so it matters what she thinks.

Sturgeon dodgers all probing questions or deflects the blame onto Westminster,

[johnmccormick]

Tried to listen to her waffle but couldn’t get past her first word.

[markymarkification]

Daily we see this from her and every one of her msp and mps and STILL we get people here in Scotland who cannot accept what they see and hear from them and keep voting for them

[sandraharris]

She had no choice but to intervene because of the public outcry or Adam Graham would be in cortonvale with the female prisoners, doing this for years under your watch ya wee bint, they shouldn't have to go through a bloody process they shouldn't be in a woman's prison ffs, she makes my blood boil 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[stevebourne]

How "TRANSPARENT is Sturgeon ABSOLUTELY not

[raymondcowey]

You would have thought that by now, after eight years of her waffle, she would have got the message that the public are tired of her lies and obfustication, and can now see right through her (Apart from her few blinded followers )

Not one of the sheep are on defending krankie…😂….the cult has gone quite 🤫

[ozzy]

Imagine Sturgeon being a used car sales"person"! Yes sir, I can assure you this car as much as it does look a bit like a Ford Mondeo, is however infact a Ferrari because legislation is in place from the SNP to say it can be if it wants to be.

[paulgollum]

This woman will never, ever admit she's wrong - a narcissist through and through.

[kevinbanks]

It seems wee cranky is a wee confused herself

[williammitchell]

Was this law put through just in case that the £600 k is found incriminating her / him

[daviddobson]

If a woman sexually abused another woman, would she be sent to a male prison?

[grahamg]

i think she is doing her own deaf hand signs

[harrytd]

Another politician stating ' Let me be clear' meaning I'm going to be anything but. Enough of these charlatans.

[tormid]

I would not trust sturgeon to sit the correct way on the lavatory. Sturgeon should resign now.

[elchoppo]

Dodgier than a packet of Jammy Dodgers !

[TheRedbulls]

I love watching her stumble through these press conferences. She normally is so assured but here she is a bumbling wreck 😊😊😊😊 she has to go she is a paradox . A fascist communist a world 1st, Scotland do it again

[toni]

Everything to do with Nicola Sturgeon, and that is associated with her, is negative and quite frankly pathetic.

[johnhughes]

Classic example dont answer the question just keep talking and they will go away, beggers.

[jeremylawrence]

Its really simple, a trans woman is a man, it really is as simple as that!
