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.

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
