BY EFFIE DEANS The story of the Japanese beauty contest won by someone born in Ukraine who moved to Japan as a child is on the one hand trivial, but on the other important as a means of thinking about concepts like nationality and what it is to be a country. Some Japanese people apparently have objected to a white European becoming Miss Japan as … Continue reading Can Humza Yousaf Become Miss Scotland?
BY EFFIE DEANS Humza Yousaf’s wife Nadia El-Nakla is Scottish. She was born and brought up in Dundee. But unlike most Scots she has family living in Gaza. Her parents chose to ignore Foreign Office advice about visiting Gaza and ended up in a warzone after the 7th October Hamas attack on Israel. That was unfortunate and naturally Humza Yousaf and his wife were concerned … Continue reading Whiffier Than Rotting Fish
BY EFFIE DEANS Imagine if there were a new war between India or Pakistan. Let’s say the long-term territorial dispute over Kashmir flared up again and the Indian and Pakistani armies started fighting again. Or alternatively imagine that Pakistan tried to retake its former territory of East Pakistan, modern day Bangladesh. What line should we expect from Rishi Sunak? We should expect him to take … Continue reading Yousaf Hopelessly Biased on Gaza
BY HAMISH GOBSON The Rule of Law, Abolition of (Scotland) Bill has been slithering its inglorious way through the Fake Parliament recently, with almost everyone outside opposed to it for one simple reason: it will destroy the independence of the judiciary, and deprive Scotland of the benefits of the rule of law. This is SNP policy. The question is: do the Humzoids understand what they … Continue reading Learning at the Feet of Erdogan & Putin
BY EFFIE DEANS From early 2015 to early 2023 it felt like SNP rule was permanent. It felt like that to Nicola Sturgeon too. It didn’t much matter how well or badly SNP politicians behaved. The various scandals were either not reported or else didn’t make any difference. The SNP did not have enough support to really push for independence, but it had enough to … Continue reading The Scottish Spring Has Turned into Winter
BY HAMISH GOBSON Hamish Gobson’s diary: the view from across the Uisge AFFORDABLE GOVERNMENT will never come to Scotland so long as our leaders are carpet-baggers. While I was out on the rocks this spring quietly cutting fronds for political fortune-telling purposes, the Herald tells me that High-end Humza was gadding off to London for seditious purposes (talking to the EU Ambassador to the UK, for example) at … Continue reading Like Mrs Murrell, High-End Humza Eats the Taxpayer
BY HAMISH GOBSON In Culloden month this year, Mike Nevin published an excellent and informed article analysing Evgeny Prigozhin’s future march on Moscow under the title: “Why the Jacobite Rebellion Failed”. What Mr Nevin seemed to me to be saying by Aesopian analogy was that Humza Yousaf does not have the legs for a march as far as Derby, which Bonnie Prince Charlie reached, much less to … Continue reading The Upkilting of Humza
BY EFFIE DEANS From the Pro UK perspective, it is blindingly obvious that we ought to hope that Humza Yousaf becomes SNP leader and First Minister. Yet he is the establishment candidate backed by Sturgeon and almost everyone else of significance in the SNP. It’s hard to see why? The SNP is an overwhelmingly white party, and most members could if they wished trace their … Continue reading Pro UK = Pro Yousaf
BY EFFIE DEANS Nicola Sturgeon once said that independence transcends everything else. This is the main problem with the SNP. It also explains what might appear to be otherwise unrelated issues. Humza Yousaf has explained that he wants to punish Scots for having insulting conversations at home. While we would retain the right to be offensive anyone stirring up hatred against various protected groups will … Continue reading Let’s Never Heil Humza
