Humza Yousaf and Eddie the Eagle

Humza Yousaf seems to accept that he's not fit to tie Nicola Sturgeon's boots, yet somehow thinks he can succeed where his predecessor failed.

Nonsense of course, although this reminded me of a previous post in which I said that Humza Yousaf is to Scottish politics what Eddie the Eagle was to Olympic ski jumping.

Humza Yousaf - Scotland's Answer To 'Eddie The Eagle' (March 12, 2023)

The Sunday papers have plenty of great writing on the SNP leadership contest which will also, of course, decide who becomes Scotland's next First Minister.

The SNP hierarchy is badly rattled and is pulling out all the stops to ensure their man - Humza Yousaf - in installed as Nicola Sturgeon's successor. 

The same Humza Yousaf who believed just weeks ago that a man (any man) can be a woman if he declares himself to be a woman - until the shit hit the fan with the double rapist Adam 'Isla Bryson' Graham.

Yousaf quickly stood his firm belief in self-ID on its head by announcing Adam/Isla was 'at it' - in effect that he is a con man rather than a transwoman.

Ever mindful of his friends and supporters in the trans lobby Yousaf carefully avoided referring to the double rapist as 'he' or 'him', perhaps because he was instrumental in introducing self-ID to the Scottish Prisons Service, as Scotland's justice minister between 2018-2021.

Add to the mix Yousaf's role as transport minister in Scotland's £450 million 'ghost ferries' scandal plus his latest role as health minister with NHS waiting lists at an all time high - and you have an accident waiting to happen.

So I won't be jumping the SNP bandwagon because if you ask me, Humza is to Scottish politics what Eddie the Eagle is to Olympic ski jumping.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP Hypocrites Have No Shame

Hi. https://t.co/yuA2cY109e — Brian Spusk (@BrianSpanner1) December 16, 2022 Brian Spanner (aka Brian Spusk) shares a tweet from the SNP's chief executive and husband of SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon) criticising secretive party donations. What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
