The probably soon to be deposed leader of the SNP, in an effort to stop the plunge of his current government towards the ground, has pulled what he thought was the ripcord for his parachute. Sadly, for him the Mullah of Maryhill and race-baiter Humza Yousaf has pulled the pin from his political grenade and has almost certainly assured the destruction of his now minority government.
The details are all over the press. The SNP, a party of deluded nutjobs, were in a power-sharing agreement with a party that make nutjobs look normal, the Green Party. Having led Scotland to a level of economic and social decline to which the Scottish voters are waking up, Yousaf decided that dropping the Greens, whose net zero low carbon lunacy was probably influential on the SNP, would improve their image.
But not so. The Scottish Tories and Labour Party can smell the petrol and are rattling their boxes of matches. They have combined forces to immolate the SNP and all who sail in her, and Yousaf now faces a vote of no-confidence. Interviewed on BBC Radio 4 Today on 26 April, Stephen Flynn who leads the SNP at Westminster, was asked how he had reacted to Yousaf ending the deal with the Greens.
Flynn responded by saying that he and Humza had spoken the previous evening after they had both put the kids to bed (touching stuff). Flynn conveyed the impression that he was on board with the move and that Yousaf was steadying the ship. If you believe that you’ll believe anything.
The conversation probably went along the lines of Flynn saying, ‘You did f***ing what?’ In a race through the Oxford Guide to Clichés Flynn assured the interviewer that he was ‘standing shoulder to shoulder’ with Humza Yousaf. So, we can safely assume, Humza’s career is toast.
It all seems to be unravelling fast for the SNP. Their obsession with transgender issues and helping poorly parented kids to indulge the fantasies induced by their mental illness has been halted pro tem in the wake of the Cass report. The much heralded introduction of the Hate Crimes Act north of the border, of which the team at The New Conservative were nothing but enthusiastic, was a disaster. Among the over 7000 complaints received in the first week so many were about the Tartan Terror himself that a form of words had to be produced for those at the end of the hate crime hotline to use in response.
Surely, Scotland faces a better future without Humza Yousaf and, while they are all willing to lead Scotland to economic ruin, this could be the opportunity for the relatively sensible Kate Forbes to take the reins. She had 20,559 votes to Yousaf’s 24,336. While both Yousaf and Forbes believe in God, Forbes has the added attraction of believing that sex is not ‘assigned’ at birth, it is an irrefutable biological fact.
When it is going to happen and by what process is unclear, but we should soon see Humza Yousaf returned to the back benches of the Scottish Parliament. With any luck, he will soon be able to say, ‘Leader of the SNP…WHITE!’
