Israel bombs hospitals in Gaza...CRICKETS CHIRPING. Russia bombs a hospital in Ukraine, here comes the U.S and E.U. with PITCHFORKS

The former first minister of Scotland, Hamza Yousaf, shared a tweet highlighting the double standards after Russia was condemned for their attack on a children's hospital in Ukraine that killed dozens.

Meanwhile Israel has continued its bombardment of Gaza where the death toll has reached 38,295 with 70 percent being women and children.

Violent clashes on British streets continue, situation spiralling out of control

Muslim migrants flooded British streets and battered local residents, while former Scottish PM Hamza Yousaf called on his counterpart Keir Starmer to engage the army.

Violent protests erupted in cities across the UK after three girls were killed in a stabbing at a children’s dance class in Southport in north-west England last week. The killings were blamed on 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, who was born into a migrant family from Rwanda.

The murders were investigated by anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim groups because of misinformation that the alleged attacker was an immigrant and radical Islamist. However, police stated that the suspect was born in Britain and were not treating the stabbing as a terrorist incident.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer strongly condemned the riots, calling them “far-right thuggery.” Meanwhile, Scottish National Party member and former Scottish Prime Minister Hamza Yousaf called for the army to be sent to the scene of the protests, as the police “do not have a handle on this situation.” He stated on X:

How much worse does it have to get before the army is sent in @Keir_Starmer? The Police clearly do not have a handle on this situation. This pogrom against Muslims and People of Colour is going to cost lives unless these far-right thugs are stopped.

Rioting is reported to be continuing in Southport, a hotbed of unrest. Leeds was plunged into chaos after two groups of protesters clashed in the city centre, the Express reported. Violence also engulfed Lancaster, Aldershot, Middlesbrough and a suspected “migrant hotel” in Rotherham.

In Bolton, members of migrant groups responded to an anti-migrant demonstration by beating up people carrying British flags and catching those who looked like football fans during the day. In Weymouth, around 400 members of opposing groups gathered on the seafront and chanted slogans towards each other.

Why it matters actually that some Christians are LGBT+ or good allies (ditto plenty of other religious people)

Right now, the SNP leadership elections in Scotland are being hampered by the fact that one of the candidates (Kate Forbes) is a Christian fundamentalist (from the Free Church of Scotland) who is very homophobic, transphobic, and misogynist. She’s also not great on the environment.

[More behind the cut, includes discussion of various bigotries.]

The second candidate (Ash Regan) is better on cis women’s rights and cis gay rights (and is gay herself), but she’s even worse on the environment and is also very transphobic.

And the third (Hamza Yousaf) is pretty good on all of those things. He happens also to be a brown, Muslim man.

And here is a very very annoying thing: Kate Forbes, the fundamentalist, keeps claiming that her views on trans issues, same sex marriage, abortion, and sex/childbirth outside marriage are just normal for “all Christians, Jews, and Muslims”. And some absolute twits in the independence movement, all as far as I can tell white secularists, are going, “welp I hate Forbes views but I prefer her to Yousaf because he clearly must think the same as her as he’s Muslim and at least she’s honest about it”.

[facepalms, a lot, with some swearing]

The thing is this. Forbes is clearly very strongly influenced by low church fundamentalists in the US. She is absolutely wrong about Christians in Scotland. The Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) permits ministers to perform same-sex marriage and has some congregations which are actively LGBT+ (yes, all of it inc. trans) affirming. That’s a decision they made that was voted on by members, by the way, and I believe the vote was not close. The Episcopalian church in Scotland (in communion with the Anglican church but not tied to its silly attitudes) is similarly good on all this. Scotland has a lot of LGBT+ Christians, as well as Christians who are active and excellent allies, or who are at worst neutral/focused on other things.

And she’s clearly wrong about Jewish people and Muslims also; I mean do I even need to argue this point? I am a vaguely Christo-Pagan gentile; I don’t speak from much knowledge here. But I know perfectly well that there are plenty of LGBT+ and allied Jewish and Muslim people and that saying otherwise is outright bigoted.

The assumption that Yousaf must be a transphobe, a homophobe, and anti-abortion and anti sex-outside-marriage because he’s Muslim (despite the fact that he has conducted himself as an MSP as sensible on all these issues) is just plain racist and Islamophobic.

Hopefully he’ll become leader. He’s got the most support from other Holyrood and Westminster members, and the membership in general apparently does tend to be more left-wing than the parliamentary party (so he should do even better there), so unless he totally fails to get his message across (or the Scottish as well as English media are appalling which... they can be.. :-S) he ought to pull this off. He’s the only one who the Scottish Greens (with whom the SNP are in a semi-coalition) would comfortably work with. He’s the only one who’s properly left-wing. He’s doesn’t seem to be as brilliant or competent as Sturgeon but then very few people are, and he is clearly pretty decent. At any rate, as a Scottish Greens member who also liked the SNP under Sturgeon a lot, I’m rooting for him. <3

Anyway: plenty of people in every religion are LGBT+ or allied. And it does matter that not all Christians are the same. Because, for instance, the Scottish Green MSPs include Ross Greer, a devout Christian about the same age as Forbes, who openly and sincerely regards his (extremely good) allyship of queer and trans people and women as a crucial duty as part of his religious practice, of honouring the humanity in everyone and opposing injustice. The idea that being “conservative” on social justice issues is intrinsic to any of Christianity, Judaism, and/or Islam is both completely wrong, and risks letting my beloved adopted country getting a leader who most definitely thinks that it is, and is an absolute shit. Gah.

Imagine going to Scotland and saying "there are too many whites in government", like their new PM Hamza Yousaf

Incredible recent British unionist bit:

“Scots language is xenophobic and is specifically spoken to make foreigners feel unwelcome when visiting Scotland.”

Imagine visiting Japan and going “Too much Japanese language here, clearly this is a hate crime.”

From Pakistan To Scotland: Meet Humza Yousaf, Scotland’s 37-Year-Old New Leader

Humza Yousaf, a Pakistan-origin leader and practising Muslim, has made history in Scotland after being elected as the head of the Scottish National Party. After winning a close-fought contest, the 37-year-old now has mounting challenges ahead of him

— FP Explainers | March 28, 2023

Hamza Yusuf, 37, of Pakistan Origin, Became Scotland’s First Muslim immigrant Minister. Yusuf hails From District Khanewal Tensil Mian Channu, Pakistan.

From Pakistan to Scotland. It’s a long road between the two nations but on Monday that distance was gapped when Scottish nationalists picked Humza Yousaf to be the country’s next leader.

The current health secretary edged out competition from Kate Forbes by a narrow margin and against Ash Regan to become the head of the Scottish National Party (SNP), after former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tendered her resignation from the position in mid-February.

In winning, he has become Scotland’s first Muslim leader. The next step will be for him to be formally nominated to be the First Minister by the Scottish Parliament — a vote that is due on Tuesday in Holyrood. Yousaf will then be officially sworn in at the Court of Session, Scotland’s supreme civil court, on Wednesday.

Below we look at his career in politics to date and his beliefs.

Early life and political career

“As immigrants of this country who knew barely a word of English, they could not have imagined in their wildest dreams that their grandson would one day be on the cusp of being the next First Minister of Scotland,” Yousaf said after he won the vote on Monday.

And it’s true.

Though Yousaf was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1985, his grandparents had moved to the country back in 1962 from Mian Channu in Punjab, Pakistan. Yousaf’s mother, also of South Asian descent, emigrated to Scotland from Kenya.

He was privately educated at Hutchesons’ Grammar School in Glasgow and studied politics at the University of Glasgow. After his studies, Yousaf briefly worked in a call centre before becoming a parliamentary assistant to SNP MSP Bashir Ahmad and later an aide to Alex Salmond.

In 2011, a then slightly more than 25-year-old Yousaf made history by becoming the youngest-ever member of Parliament. And since then, he has only climbed the political ladder and gaining in reputation.

Humza Yousaf edged out the win against candidates Ash Regan (left) and Kate Forbes after a bruising five-week contest that exposed deep fractures within the pro-independence movement. AP

Yousaf became the first Scottish Asian and Muslim to be appointed as minister to the Scottish Government in 2012 when then First Minister Alex Salmond appointed him as the Minister for External Affairs and International Development, responsible for external affairs, fair trade policy and diaspora. When Sturgeon took over from Salmond, he continued his junior ministership.

He then became justice secretary in 2018 and introduced the Hate Crime and Public Order bill which made “stirring up hatred” on religion, sexual orientation, age, disability and transgender identities an offence.

Yousaf has also served as transport minister, and international development minister, before becoming the health secretary in 2021.

However, it’s not been all smooth sailing for him. His political performance has been far from stellar. As transport minister in 2016, he was fined £300 (Rs 30,370) for driving a friend’s car without insurance.

He also faced criticism for the performance of ScotRail after Abellio took over the contract to run the rail franchise, which ultimately led to it being nationalised.

As health secretary, he was criticised for the long hospital waiting times, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, he had defended himself, saying the problem wasn’t unique to Scotland and, in fact, the country was the only one in the UK to avoid strikes by NHS (National Health Service) staff.

Scotland’s Expectations From Him

With Yousaf winning the SNP vote, it marks the end of the acrimonious and unpredictable leadership contest. Yousaf has been widely seen as the continuity candidate and the favourite of the SNP leadership, even though Sturgeon refused to endorse anyone.

He pledges to preserve the party’s progressive values; he is the poster child for multiculturalism — in 2016, after winning his second term as an MSP, Yousaf delivered his oath of allegiance in Urdu while wearing a kilt. In 2011, he had worn a sherwani while taking oath.

He has liberal views on matters of immigration as well as gender. He was one of the proponents of the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014 which legalised same-sex marriage. He also extended his support to Sturgeon’s controversial Gender Recognition (Reform) Bill which will allow trans persons to self-identify. This legislation has been blocked by the Rishi Sunak government as of now.

He is also a firm advocate of Scottish independence, but has said that he will not follow Sturgeon’s path to independence. He has said that the party needs to get back to making the case for independence, rather than endlessly debating process. “We will be the generation that delivers independence for Scotland,” Yousaf said in Edinburgh after the result.

He also said an independent Scotland should look at ditching the monarchy, telling the National newspaper in an interview: “Let’s absolutely, within the first five years, consider whether or not we should move away from having a monarchy into an elected head of state.”

Furthermore, he has stated in a BBC interview that he is his “own man and will do things my own way”. Yousaf added: “I have a lot of admiration, as you would imagine, for the excellent work Nicola Sturgeon has done as first minister.

“But she had a certain leadership approach. Mine would be less inner circle and more big tent.”

The road ahead for Humza Yousaf is not easy. But he has vowed to take the country forward. “We will be the generation that delivers independence for Scotland,” he said after his win. AP

Challenges Ahead of Him

The road for Humza Yousaf is going to be tricky and full of roadblocks. He faces the monumental task of bringing together a party that has been driven apart by a bitter leadership contest.

Yousaf will also have to prove himself and that too quickly. While Sturgeon enjoyed positive approval ratings, her government did not. An Ipsos poll found that across a number of policy issues — including on health care, education and standard of living — “more people think that the Scottish government is doing a bad job than think they’re doing a good job.”

As The Politico reports, there are some in his party itself who question whether he’s up to the job, given his struggle to avoid negative headlines in previous Cabinet jobs. “Nobody — including his backers — looks at Humza and says ‘there’s our leader for the next 10 years’ or even that he’ll win independence,” an SNP adviser was quoted as telling The Politico.

It is left to be seen if he sinks or swims. But for now it’s interesting to see that the three leaders of Britain, Scotland and Ireland all have leaders of South Asian origin — Britain’s Rishi Sunak, now Scotland’s Humza Yousaf and Ireland’s Leo Varadkar.
