- Scotland’s First Minister Nicola

Sturgeon. “Now, when I was younger, I never had a single person like that. And it’s quite scary and intimidating to be a young person and to find it uncomfortable to even say certain words, be they intimate or a sexual nature. Just making those words come out of your mouth when you’re young can be really awkward.”
