A JOURNALIST has once again called Nicola Sturgeon an “overstuffed little haggis” during an appearance on Dan Wootton’s GB News show.
Australian journalist Amanda Platell, who previously served as press secretary for William Hague, made the comment during a discussion about Scotland’s gender legislation.
She previously made the same comment on a show titled “Broken Britain” also hosted by Wootton.
The show’s host put it to Platell that Alex Salmond, who said self-identification for transgender people was a “daft ideology imported from elsewhere”, had “summed up what Sturgeon has done”.
The journalist replied: “That overstuffed little haggis has just stuffed herself,” before laughing at her own comment.
She continued: “In the months since she launched this, he, she, you know actually if a human being, a person, whatever she wants to call them, rapes a woman that means a penis is involved, that means he’s a man.”
Platell added that the First Minister had “stuffed herself politically” and made reference to a recent YouGov poll which reported Sturgeon’s approval rating had dropped into negative territory.
Speaking at a press conference earlier this week, Sturgeon said: “I’ve been doing this for a long time now, as you all know, I’ve seen polls go up, I’ve seen polls go down.”
Platell continued: “She’s obsessed with the young vote. She thinks she can get them to support her but what’s happening now is you’re seeing an older demographic which are the people that mostly vote who are just thinking this all feels really uncomfortable.

“She’s merged these two really important issues, well one not important issue and one very important issue on independence and as I say she’s stuffed herself.”
Platell later questioned why Nicola Sturgeon is "so confused about what it is to be a woman” before adding: “I’m not saying anything about the haircut.”
Wootton then put it to author Rebecca Reid that Sturgeon did not care about independence, which Reid said was “inaccurate”.
Reid added that she thought independence remained the First Minister’s priority but that she “misjudged how to get there”.
She continued: “I think she felt that this trans issue was a sort of hot button one that was a clear cut thing and there was clearly a meeting that went wrong because they put on a whiteboard, what can we do, trans and then tried to make that the vehicle and whose idea it was to use a convicted rapist as the hero of a campaign is really confusing.”
Also appearing on the show was political commentator and deacon in the Free Church of England Calvin Robinson who said that it was “nonsensical” that somebody could change their gender.
