  • Independence?  This guy has failed at everything he has touched.  The union has not looked more secure since the act of union in 1707.   

  • Yet you brought up independence in literally the first line of your post....

Yousafs past record speaks for itself, the union is safe with Humza at the helm, if someone dropped a banana skin he would find it.

I know that you think that you have found a racist to expose .

But you will have to keep looking and find someone else to expose , as I am not that person you seek

I think you exposed yourself. You didn't need me for that.

Were I an SNP member, I would not have voted for him, however the other candidates were not much more appealing either. But it would be a mistake to think that the SNP speaks for all independence supporters. If those who are trying to protect the union limit their focus to only the SNP, then it is most definitely not safe. 

I checked, there is no Yusaf clan ????

Wonder whether it will be the same as the partition of India/Pakistan with about 1 million people dying and English and Scots fighting and killing each other as they scramble to their owm sides of the border 

Do you really think that it is a possibility?

So Scottish fans invading the pitch at Wembley in 1977 is a prelude to the persecution of Englishmen in Scotland in the event of Scottish independence 50+ years later?

 

2 + 2 = a lot more than 5!

Well, he brings up Scottish Independence invariably in the first line of every one of his posts, my keen political antenna tell me that he is something of an enthusiast for the concept.

 

I believe he could work it into a thread on the price of coconut ice cream from street vendors in Phuket!

Hmm - I am not sure that's particularly true. If fact, I don't think it's true in any way whatsoever. You may have neglected to read the subject of this particular thread but there are parallels, trust me.

Ironic indeed (although also completely impossible, the stuff of fantasy). Especially as neither was voted into the position by the electorate.

 

This is great news for the UK. This cringey man could start an argument in an empty room. Like when he asked the group of Ukranian women "where are all the men?". Jeez. What a melt.

Or his rant against white people in Scotland. I wonder if he resents so many Asians in positions of power in Pakistan/China? Or so many black people in positions of power in Democratic Republic of Condo? Somehow I doubt it.

 

 

The UK is in safe hands with this man heading up the Scottish Nationalist Party. This is almost as good for the UK as Sturgeon being terfed out on the trans issue.

I do wonder if we are maybe too old to understand his appeal. There is an article on the BBC at the moment where they interviewed a broad range of young (under 30) people and they seem positive, or at least lukewarm to him. Certainly there was no outrage the he might continue pushing for the core SNP raison d'etre.

 

Like you, I don't rate him at all, but the joke about the Tory pm election being like choosing which Glastonbury portaloo to use would have been apt here too.

 

But if he can keep the younger people on side then hopefully we will see a significant swing in the polls in the coming years. After all, the under 55s show, consistently, majority support for independence.

Jokes aside fair call,  I hear on radio Rishi UK PM is going to make it difficult for Humza on Scottish independence.

96% of Scotland's population identifies as white which makes Humzas speech rather disturbing, has he a problem with white people?

I imagine he will continue the same line as his predecessors - now is not the time, repeat ad nauseum.

I think the SNP really has buried itself, especially after I watched this last night..............????

Exactly. Can you imagine a white dude standing up in Nigeria and complaining there were too many blacks in power?

 

"Prime Minister - Black.

Chief Medical Officer - Black.

Solicitor General - Black.

Lord Justice Clerk - Black."

 

Yes mate, Scotland is a predominantly white country so it's perfectly normal that white people predominantly occupy those roles - same as Asians occupy the high positions in Asian countries and black people do in African countries.

 

Typical race baiting from someone who has risen to the highest position in the country and has therefore shown the world what nonsense he was speaking.

 

Better than his scooter riding skills though ????.
