Nicola Sturgeon gushes over wicked Hillary Clinton and Queen of England (and scorns Scotland)
Wings Over Scotland's Frankly book review...
https://wingsoverscotland.com/frankly-mr-shankly/
"...The most toe-curling bits of all, and the most passionate she gets in the whole of 400-odd pages that mostly read like a very long and anodyne conference speech, are her gushing girl-boss adoration of Hillary Clinton and the late Queen..."
(Extracted from Frankly by Nicola Sturgeon, as featured in Wings Over Scotland’s review):
Nicola Sturgeon on Hillary Clinton:
"...the highlight would be a private meeting with Hillary Clinton. Hillary is someone I looked up to for a long time. She is a trailblazer on the frontline of all the battles that women of my generation in politics have had to fight, the battles we are still fighting... Her fortitude, dignity and sheer resilience in the face of everything that has been thrown at her, mainly by men not fit to lace her boots, inspires and energizes me.

When the US finally does elect its first female President - which at the time of writing feels further away then ever - will owe an enormous dept of gratitude towards Hillary Clinton.
I woke that morning with the hangover from hell. I was utterly mortified, thinking that Hillary Clinton, my heroine, would have never have got herself in such a state.... She would have been and outstanding President, and it is the USA's great loss that she never got the chance...

She also gave me some words of encouragement about keeping going when things seem impossible…

Unfortunately they could not stop me from the deep despondency that would engulf me on my return to Scotland.”

Nicola Sturgeon on the Queen:
"Chatting to her was like being given a private window onto all the big events and key personalities of twentieth-century history. It was remarkable...
She also loved a bit of gossip. She always wanted to hear the stories behind the political headlines. I recall my audiences with her at Balmoral just a couple of weeks after the allegations about Alex Salmond had become public. I had assumed she wouldn't mention it, but was worried that it might then be an elephant in the room. I couldn't have been more wrong. She asked me about it almost as soon as I sat down. She wasn't being trivial in any way, but it was clear that she wanted to know more of what was going on. I think she was also trying to put me at ease... I felt able to talk freely, to open up and share whatever was on my mind...

At Balmoral, the audiences would be followed by drinks in the drawing room. The Queen would play cards while the rest of us milled around her. I usually got to the drawing room just ahead of her and was always struck by the aura she exuded as she entered the room…
After drinks, we would have dinner, usually a barbecue at one of the bothies on the estate. One of these had been built by Queen Victoria to give Prince Albert somewhere to sleep if he went out hunting and left it too late to get back to the castle... This story was recounted to Peter and me by the Queen herself as she drove us there on our first visit...

...Prince Philip, who could not have been more different in private to his public persona. He and I would usually sit together at dinner and the conversation would always be dominated by our shared love of books..."

The Smiths: The Queen is Dead: Frankly, Mr. Shankly (2017 Master)
“Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck
I've got the twenty-first century breathing down my neck
I must move fast, you understand me
I want to go down in celluloid history…
Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry
I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask
You are a flatulent pain in the arse
I do not mean to be so rude
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly
Oh, give us your money!”

"The 50 per cent cut from the hardback’s initial £28 price was being advertised online yesterday...
But opponents claimed even at £14, the memoir was “still terrible value for money”.
And early buyers have given it a series of one-star reviews..."
