    "...a country run by the third prize in a competition to build Winston Churchill out of marshmallows"

    Got to agree with the original assessment. I thought it as lame as its presumption of Churchill as an actual worthy model, but of course this is then mixed in with a slew of other weirdly piss poor analogies: what on earth is a "pool-float" Targaryen? and of a "...gurning English Krankie cousin" - the Krankie designation was already as stale in Scotland as rancid haggis when applied to Sturgeon by her "witty" detractors: it had previously been used to describe the Labour party's "Scottish leader Johann Lamont about a decade before.

    -The only thing truly "wry" about Marina is her own mouth in that standard Guardian photo.
