Government By Gang and the SNP (Scottish Nepotism Party)

The news that Humza Yousaf's wife, Nadia El-Nakla, is standing for election to Dundee Council provides more evidence that the government of Scotland is increasingly dominated by an SNP gang culture.  

Nadia has a job already, of course, being employed by the SNP social justice minister, Shona Robison, whose previous job as Scotland's health minister is now occupied by Nadia's husband, Humza Yousaf.

Meanwhile, Serena Cowdy, the wife of Shona Robinson's former husband, Stewart Hosie, the SNP MSP, is standing for election to Angus Council.

The news that Stewart Hosie's new wife is standing as a SNP candidate in May's council's elections triggered the following thought about Scottish politics and nepotism.

The health minister, Humza Yousaf's wife (Nadia El-Nakla) is also standing for election and currently works for the social justice minister and former health minister, Shona Robison.

Shona, of course, was previously married to Stewart Hosie, the SNP MP whose new wife (Serena Cowdy) is standing for election as an SNP councillor in Angus Council.

Which makes me wonder - does the SNP operate some kind of family franchise?


Scotland's Chumocracy (October 29, 2021)

Scotland is the only part of the UK where a family franchise dominates both the party of government and the party of government.

Can you imagine the hoots of derision if Boris and Carrie (or others) were a Mr & Mrs double act?

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
