The runners and riders are at the starting gate.
Scottish Health Secretary Humza Yousaf and former minister Ash Regan have announced they will stand to take over from Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader and Scotland’s first minister.
The pair, who revealed their plans to run in the Sunday Mail, are the first to declare their candidacy.
Well, if Yousaf wins, welcome to the new Caledonian Caliphate. Maybe we should set up a refugee camp at Carlisle.
I do believe that somewhere there might be a sensible person who could be leader of the SNP but it’s more likely to be someone like ‘Useless’ Yousef. The Mercurius channel has a good video interspersing Yousef’s announcement of his leadership bid with film of him falling off a scooter whilst accompanied by a masked ginger haired flunkey/servant. https://twitter.com/Mercurius_Scot/status/1627200604031315968
It is to be hoped that the scrutiny that the leadership race will cause to be directed at Useless Yousef will expose just any connections this racist arse (and yes he is a racist arse because he moaned that too many Scots in govt and admin are white) might have with the massive cess pit that is Scottish politics these days.
Indeed. I believe this is the clip you are referring to:

Listen to the contempt in his voice when he says the word ‘white’.
Yes indeed. if a white person said ‘black’ with the same levels of vocal contempt then they’d probably quite rightly be called a racist, therefore Useless Yousef can fairly be called a racist.
That such a blatantly racist rant was allowed in a parliament without any sanction tells us much, frankly.
Labour leader Anas Sarwar used almost identical language in parliament a couple of years ago.
The only video link I could find was from his Twitter:

…Flunkey running alongside with a pair of crutches! LOL
Oh please let Yousaf get it!
While a win for Useless Yousef would be entertaining, he’d make life even more miserable for the Scots than Sturgeon did.
Maybe that’s what’s needed. Those who voted for the SNP need to get what they voted for good and hard. Maybe then they will think again.
Indeed, puts almost as much visceral hatred into “white” as far too many in the snp put into “English”.
I do SO hope this disgusting, verminous excrescence wins.
It’s definitely what’s needed. There are still far too many of us who think the SNP are capable of running a piss-up in a brewery. They need to be disabused of this notion. And he’s the very boy to do it.
Then we can get started on the other four parties at Holyrood.
How the fuck can you fall off a 3 wheeled scooter??
You just have to be extremely stupid. Too stupid to grasp things like gyroscopic forces and the counter steering effect.
Three wheeled scooter? It wasn’t an Ariel 3 was it?
More seriously, I think that it is pretty clear now that these regional governments for Scotland and Wales were a terrible idea. Had there been an actual form of devolved power where England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland all had seperate parliaments and then some delegates got together a few times a year to discuss national issues that affected the whole union, that might possibly have worked. But as it stands, all they got is an extra layer of government on top of what they already had. A government of hopeless third raters with nothing to actually do. Well, the Devil makes work for idle hands so what did they expect that they would get, other than lots of interference in their day to day lives and personal business?
Along with blaming the English for everything while simultaneously picking our pockets.
“More seriously, I think that it is pretty clear now that these regional governments for Scotland and Wales were a terrible idea.”
Unless you view the setup of devolved governments as an attempt to reduce the impact of separatists on the daily routine of Westminster MPs – in which case it has been partially successful. Encysted the parasites to some extent, but not entirely.
The Daily Mash is on target.
