BM Scotland: - It Might Be Summer But The SNP Continue To Flounder.

 

It Might Be Summer But The SNP Continue To Flounder

Pollsters show that support for the SNP amongst Scottish voters is falling.

The latest expert opinions state that the SNP is losing ground to the Labour Party.

The poll figures suggest that Labour could take as many as 24 seats in Scotland at a General election, taking control away from the SNP and Scottish Green alliance at Holyrood and putting Keir Starmer in government as Prime Minister at Westminster.

As BM Scotland has said before, Scottish voters need to be careful what they wish for. If Scottish Labour take control at Holyrood, Scots might find themselves swapping one bunch of woke, leftist incompetents for another.

'Ageist' Remarks and 'Ageism' to Become a 'Hate Crime' in Scotland.

Humza Yousaf is actually pushing to make 'ageism' a 'Hate crime' under the Hate Crime and Public Order act (Scotland), 20021. In addition Yousaf wants to make 'misogyny' and what the liberal left call "toxic masculinity" another target for social policy and education in Scotland.

But it is Humza Yousaf's latest sound bites about "age related" insults, age related discrimination, and ageist 'hate speech' that has set non-woke commentators mocking the First Minister.  Saying "silly wee girl" or "grumpy old man" will now be a 'Hate crime'.

Even some mainstream media journalists have noted that half the jokes in TV situation comedies like "Still Game" will become offences under the law.

When Humza Yousaf was Justice Minister it was generally recognised that he failed miserably in that post, but still forged ahead with a left-wing agenda to make 'Hate crimes' a central feature of Scottish government policy. Add to that the fact that recently Humza Yousaf wrote an opinion piece article in the 'Guardian' the liberal left's preferred national newspaper condemning "toxic masculinity" and macho- culture amongst young men.

Strange where the First Minister's priorities lie, after all Scotland has major problems with drug related deaths, Scotland's drug deaths are three times higher than the rest of the UK, there are major problems in NHS Scotland, the education system in Scotland is chaotic, but Humza Yousaf wants to put his focus on 'ageism', hate crimes and toxic masculinity!

Humza Yousaf might find his position as SNP leader and First Minister under challenge from an old rival.

Kate Forbes MSP is said to be limbering up to stage a leadership challenge in the SNP.

'Useless Yousaf' is facing a growing rebellion within the SNP against his leadership.  A sure sign that Humza Yousaf is floundering comes in his recent statement that, "people need to have a reason to vote for us". That is the SNP.

Assorted national media commentators claim that internally the SNP is going into melt-down.

Kate Forbes has publicly stated that, "Scotland needs a Highlander at the helm", meaning herself. Perhaps Humza Yousaf will consider that statement to be "racist".

BM Scotland likes the idea of the SNP going into 'melt down'.

SNP 'Woke' Stance Backfires on Some More Traditional Thinking SNP Politicians

At the Edinburgh Fringe the SNP Member of Parliament Joanna Cherry was booked to appear at an "in conversation" event, but was forced to arrange for "tight security" at the venue because of threats against her by 'radical elements' from the pro-Trans lobby. Joanna Cherry was booked to appear at the Strand, but then had her booking rejected because staff at the Strand objected to her "gender critical views". Then after a threat of legal action against the Strand, the venue agreed to host her event but she needed the extra security because of fears of disruption or worse from the 'Woke' and radical leftist fellow travellers.

Unfortunately for Joanna Cherry there are those 'activists' within the ranks of the SNP and their allies in the Scottish Greens who totally support 'Trans rights' and the whole 'Woke' pro-trans and gender fluid ideas that are being pushed into Scottish government policies.

Remember not too many months ago that Nicola Sturgeon, while she was still First Minister and leader of the SNP was supportive of 'trans-women' being sent to serve time in women's prisons.  Plus Humza Yousaf has ducked and dived around the subject and has carefully avoided voting in support of gender-identification legislation (in case it offends fellow Muslims?) but has gone along with Scottish government policies on gender identity that are not acceptable in the rest of the United Kingdom. 

An SNP related footnote:

Care homes staff in Glasgow vote to go on strike.

It seems that 98% of care home staff working for private sector provider Minster Care Group have voted to walk out, creating a serious problem in the care for the elderly sector in Glasgow.

Up to 200 care workers are due to go on strike.

First Minister Humza Yousaf has declared his intention to become personally involved in resolving the situation and has stated that he is personally writing to the chief executive of the Minster Care Group company in order to achieve this. 

The chief executive of Minster Care Group is Mr Mahesh Patel.

Does anyone reading this article note the obvious point here about a company proving private sector care in a major Scottish city?
