TORY candidate for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath Kathleen Leslie has been struck off the teaching register for making offensive comments about First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on social media, it emerged yesterday.
Ms Leslie made the comments ahead of Scotland’s 2014 independence referendum, tweeting of the then deputy first minister: “Wee Jimmie Krankie is a drooling hag. She’s a walking horror show.”
She also tweeted: “That wee fish wife was there?! At taxpayer expense no doubt. Feel sorry for poor bugger sat next to her grim face.”
On the release of her memoir that reveals everything except politics, Sturgeon’s endless media coverage has focused on her panic attacks, sexuality and personal tragedies while ignoring her government’s many failures, writes PAULINE BRYAN
