Another piece, both interesting and amusing, about George Washington and his latest competitor for the title of global revolutionary: Humza Yousaf


It is becoming increasingly obvious that Humza Yousaf does not have any idea HOW to fix the problems left over by the collapse of the Sturgeon regime. He may want to be “Continuity” Humza, but he does not have the basic skills necessary to do the job Sturgeon helped him get. For her, it seems that he was just “Contiguity” Humza, always hovering about, trying to look like the poor man’s Yevgeny Prigozhin (see, for example, his racist rant here:  Short 04 - Hate Crime Bill (Humza's Bummer, 2020) - YouTube ) He wasn’t even very good at that, though the Broughty Ferry nursery case had its ominous echoes of darker conflicts.

 

Once again, Scotland is the victim of nationalist conceit. Here is a short piece, published today, which presents a yardstick against which Mr Yousaf might usefully be measured: https://thinkscotland.org/2023/06/no-legislation-without-representation-why-george-washington-was-no-humza-yousaf/

Here is what the UNABOMBER said about modern psychoses

 The Unabomber in his famous Manifesto, really explained modern politicians very well. This article covers Nicola Sturgeon (in fact "Mrs Murrell"), the scourge of modern Scotland with her vacuity, egotism, narcissism and, most important of all, her inferiority complex (like Louis XIV, it seems):

And another amusing post about the collapse of coherent government in Scotland due to its tsar-like approach to civil rights

 Alexander II emancipated the serfs - will the Scottish government be able to do something equally creative? Doubtful, due to its traditions of secrecy, elitism and clannish authoritarianism. Unlike "the benevolent Tsar", our government treats power as a benefit not a responsibility. How very Putin of them!
