Alongside shyness
Who on EARTH is dumb enough to say this in public? To, in fact, put it in writing, in a BOOK?
Who wrote that?
I rather think it was Nicola Sturgeon in her memoir.
It’s hilarious that she thinks it might make her sound “daft” as opposed to grandiose and narcissistic beyond belief.
Who in the world thinks that being a driven attention-seeker is a good thing?
It’s probably true of most people who go into politics but admitting it is…a bold move.
Her punctuation, is—in; general: terrible – but her “biggest”, at the risk of ‘sounding’ condescending, offense, is that she uses “SCARE” quotes like the Donald!!1
…
That was harder to type than I expected.
I’d guess that the percentage of people who are “a walking contradiction” is roughly equal to the percentage of countries that are “a land of contrasts”, or sports that are “a game of inches/centimeters”.
Nullius, yes, the editor/writer in me thrashed violently when reading that randomly, punctuated passage. It took all my strength to keep going and even quote it.
