Humza Yousaf Resigns.

 

Humza Yousaf

I suspect that Humza Yousaf (the SNP's continuity candidate), has contrived this whole situation of his resignation to get out of the job of being First Minister for Scotland. After being Scotland's First Minister, for just over twelve months, he's now decided to abandon a sinking ship. He's no fool. What did he think was likely to happen when he ended the SNP's partnership/coalition with the Greens. As a politician, he must have understood the numbers game.

The SNP have become a laughing stock in the eyes of many Scottish people with their Gender Recognition (Scotland) Bill and their Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act. The British government blocked the Gender Recognition Bill because it would've had an adverse effect on UK-wide, equalities legislation. The Hate Crime Bill, also seems to be unworkable, because the police haven't the time or resources to investigate many of the complaints, that are made by all sorts of cranks and social misfits.

The transgender serial rapist, Isla Bryson, (formerly Adam Graham) - who wanted to be sent to a Scottish women's prison - said he/she was a victim of hate crime. The Harry Potter author, J K. Rowling, said the measure was wide open to abuse and she's quite right. The SNP's obsession with identity politics and in particular, 'transgenderism', has finished them off politically. I also suspect that it has finished off any notions about Scottish independence and the Balkanization of Britain.

Clowns, like Humza Yousaf and Nicola Sturgeon, the Wee Jimmie Krankie of Scottish politics, hardly inspire confidence. Scotland's former First Minister, Alex Salmond, who now leads the Alba Party, has said the SNP needs to abandon its fixation with identity cultural politics and focus on the bread-and-butter issues, that really matter to the Scottish people.
