Is there no limit to the arrogance of Nicola Sturgeon? She presided over Scotland for nearly a decade, during which time the performance of almost every area of public services deteriorated. She attempted to inflict gender self-identification policy on an overwhelming majority of Scots who were opposed to it. She oversaw the near bankruptcy of her own political party and a massive reduction in the size of its membership. Now she is promoting juryless trials in rape cases in the face of near total opposition from the Scottish legal profession, not to mention complaining about the polarisation of Scottish society, for which she’s been largely responsible. One wonders how anyone could cope with such serial failure, yet she sails on regardless. John Stewart Terrick, Buckinghamshire
