    The result is particularly amusing because Yousaf is on the front cover of “Time” magazine, described as “a leader of the future”. :yahoo:

    Humza Yousaf is the first European leader to want Palestinian refugees from Gaza to be taken into the UK / their country. In the same way as Ukrainian refugees.

    I have great sympathy for his wife whose family is trapped in Gaza and all Palestinians in Gaza. But are his links to Gaza and his Muslim faith now altering Scottish National Party policy?

    Is he naive? Some Palestinian refugees are more likely to be a far greater terrorist threat than Ukrainian refugees.

    Or is he just aware that Scotland has not had anywhere near as much Islamic terrorism as England?… And that it won’t be Humza Yousaf’s country that could suffer badly if his policy comes to fruition.

    If Palestinian refugees need a country to take sanctuary then Middle-Eastern, Muslim countries are surely in the best position to do so.

    BBC reporting that Yousaf is going to resign. The unravelling of the SNP continues.

    Resignation confirmed. I expect “Time” magazine would like to take this one back. You need a heart of stone not to laugh:

    Anything that boosts Labour’s chances even further is fine by me.

    Hilarious to see the barely disguised glee from the Tory press. Have they seen the state of their own mob? Get your own house in order first before criticising others.

    I didn’t see you or the Labour / Left Wing Press stopping criticising the Torries when Labour was in such a mess with Corbyn, Richard.

    Sunack had to try to “unite the party” and at least keep the right wing of his party fairly happy by having one or two of them in his cabinet. The Bravermans of this world have now rebelled in an attempt to blame the centre for their demise at the next General Election. But it is the Tory Right of Truss, Boris and Braverman’s fault the Torries are in this mess.

    I’d like to see the Tory Left and Centre keep their seats in the next election and kick out the Tory Right. So in a Shadow Cabinet they can once again truly become a party of the centre-right under either Sunak or Mordaunt.

    Be fair, HDLG. A home isn’t complete without a salt and pepper set by Lalique, costing £2,600. And who doesn’t need a £110 pencil sharpener?

    Sturgeon was a busy woman. She had all those daily self aggrandising press conferences during lockdown to attend. She couldn’t possibly be expected to notice a £80,000 Jaguar or a £125,000 mobile home on her driveway.

    What a tale of hubris. This gruesome, arrogant pair really did seem to think they were untouchable. The press was either compliant or intimidated into silence.

    The result: they ran Scotland as their own private fiefdom. Any ideals they might have had were replaced by greed and a love of power. Precisely what Orwell warned us about in the late 1940s with his pigs in “Animal Farm”.

    The fact Murrell’s hearing was moved from its original date of February to after the elections to the Scottish Parliament is of course nothing to be suspicious about. Who could possibly think otherwise? :whistle:

    Good point, I wasn’t aware of that.

    A thoroughly rancid business and it would be nice to think that Sturgeon will shuffle off into the backwoods never to be heard or seen again; though I had the same thought about Blair after the Chilcot Inquiry…

    “It would be nice to think that Sturgeon will shuffle off into the backwoods never to be heard or seen again”.

    I fear she is too brass necked for that. She will say she has been cleared by the police. Although according to the website which exposed the corruption (and did the job the BBC and the Scottish media should have been doing) her idea of co-operation was to turn her chair to the wall and refuse to speak for seven hours.

    Sturgeon may well have been cleared by the police but she has not been acquitted in the court of public opinion. If what remains of her cheerleading fan club thinks that is unfair, bear in mind she used exactly the same argument against Alex Salmond when he walked free from court in the spring of 2020. A man she launched a vindictive campaign against and in effect hounded into an early grave.
