He lied, Scotland’s totally inept & unelected First Minister.

Humza Yousaf is lying through his teeth when he says there's a 'rising tide' of hate crime in Scotland as the figures from his own government show.
"The Scottish government’s own figures show crimes aggravated by hate fell by 2 per cent last year. Race crime, the most reported hate crime, was down 31 per cent since 2011-12 and down 2 per cent since 2021-22.
"Sexuality and disability have gradually risen as aggravating factors, which may show greater confidence in reporting by victims. But those related to transgender identity fell from 86 cases in 2021-22 to 55. Each is an appalling incident, yet where is Yousaf’s 'rising tide'?"
