Is Humza Having A Laugh?

Humza Yousaf has about as much chance of becoming Scotland's next First Minister as I have of playing centre forward for the national football team.

To my mind there's something very wrong with Humza's judgement not least because he lives in Broughty Ferry on the east coast of Scotland while claiming to represent the citizens of Pollok on the south west side of Glasgow - a 200 mile, 4 hour round trip.

 


Making A Mockery Of Local Democracy (May 01, 2022)


Now I know the SNP emerged victorious last May and ended up as the largest party in the Scottish Parliament.

But democracy is about much more than just winning elections - it's also about leadership, standards of behaviour and how politicians 'play the game'.

In which case it's clearly absurd for Humza Yousaf MSP to live on the east coast of Scotland in Broughty Ferry while claiming to represent the citizens of Pollok on the south west side of Glasgow - a 200 mile, 4 hour round trip.

 

Is Humza Having A Laugh? (December 31, 2021)

Is the SNP and/or Humza Yousaf having a laugh?

Because as I've said before it seems ridiculous that the party allows an MSP (and Minister) to live in a suburb of Dundee while representing a seat on the far side of Glasgow.

Seems to me the losers from this bizarre arrangement have to be the citizens of Glasgow Pollok and Humza's own family life.


 




Is Humza Having A Laugh? (July 17, 2021)

Scottish Ministers have been having a pretty torrid time of late and rightly so, especially after Nic, Humza and John all bunked off on holiday at the same time.

Humza complained that he was entitled to time off with his family which I agree with 100% , but this makes it all the more strange that Humza has decided to live in Broughty Ferry (east of Dundee) while he represents Glasgow Pollok, south west of Glasgow. 

A two hour plus drive!

So what sense does that make if you're arguing for a better work/life balance, and what did Ms Sturgeon have to say about an SNP MSP living on one side of Scotland while representing a seat so far away - did the First Minister approve this arrangement?

Because this can't be good for Humza, his family or the constituents of Glasgow Pollok.

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...
