'Anti-White' Scottish First Minister Quits After Disastrous 'Hate Crime Law' | ZeroHedge

(Emphasis - theirs).

Scotland's leader Humza Yousaf resigned on Monday, quitting as head of the pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) after scrapping a coalition agreement with Scotland's Greens. He then failed to secure enough support to survive votes of no confidence against him expected later this week.

Yousaf, born to Pakistani immigrants in Glasgow, built an infamous reputation as a woke activist politician going into the 2023 elections. His rabid pro-immigration stance and consistent arguments in favor of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) should have been a red flag to the Scottish public; however, with an increasingly progressive voting population Yousaf narrowly scored a victory. Here is Humza in 2020, giving a speech admonishing the "whiteness" of the Scottish government.

(Video at source)

Keep in mind that Scotland is 96% white. For most people logic would dictate that having a majority white government makes perfect sense given Scotland's demographics. This is something that Yousef and his progressive ilk have set out to change.

At the beginning of 2024 the former First Minister sought to launch a pro-migrant propaganda campaign, claiming that open immigration policies lead to economic benefits for Scotland. Of course, as with all politicians that make this assertion, he offered no concrete statistics to support the theory.

Beyond his insistence on going against the growing public opposition in Scotland to more migrants being allowed into the country, Yousaf's biggest mistake was the passage of his now wildly unpopular "Hate Crime Act." The law which recently went into effect criminalized many forms of speech including criticism or skepticism of gender fluid theory and trans identity. Misgendering and misuse of a trans person pronouns could now land a Scottish citizen in jail.

In response, the Scottish public flooded law enforcement agencies with fake calls accusing various trans activists and even political leaders of various hate crimes. Police were so overwhelmed by the paperwork that any effort to enforce the law has ground to a halt.

As we have detailed again and again (here, here, and here), his hate-crime law was an utter disaster - that everyone saw coming - and before his resignation, just 29 per cent of Scottish National Party voters believe Yousaf is doing a good job, while 36 per cent think he has been poor in office.

Consequently, Yousaf’s popularity among his own voters is now minus seven, down from plus 14 in January, a massive drop.

As we have highlighted, under the new ‘hate crime’ legislation, anyone deemed to have been verbally ‘abusive’, in person or online, to a transgender person, including “insulting” them could be hit with a prison sentence of up to seven years.

As a reminder, Police received 8000 ‘hate crime’ complaints in just the first week of the law coming into play, equating to more than the annual total of all hate crime reports for all previous years.


The number is on course to out number the total of all other offences combined.


Calum Steele, the former general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, declared that officers “are genuinely embarrassed,” adding that “They feel that the service and by extension [they] as individual police officers will catch some of the public brunt.”

The hate crime law received backlash from every corner of the UK, including from more liberal personalities like Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

...and now, he's gone!



In an emotional address, Yousef said:
“While a route through this week’s motion of no confidence was absolutely possible, I am not willing to trade my values and principles or do deals with whomever simply for retaining power.
“Therefore, after spending the weekend reflecting on what is best for my party, for the government and for the country I lead I have concluded that repairing our relationship across the political divide can only be done with someone else at the helm.
“I have therefore informed the SNP’s national secretary of my intention to stand down as party leader and ask that she commences a leadership contest for my replacement as soon as possible.”

My experience with Scottish people is that they many of them pride themselves on their diversity. Yousef overestimated his ability to hold the government together after he ended the coalition with the Scottish Greens. The Hate Crimes Act hurt him with the public more than his anti-white stance.

I have seen many examples of Scottish people getting angry & offended that Americans claim to be Scottish because of their Scottish heritage. They argue that someone like Yousef is more Scottish than someone who is American born with 90% Scottish ancestry. If you live there you are Scottish if you don’t you are not. Diversity is a very big deal there.

Enforce a hate crime act in a country where 96% of the natives are glow in the dark white? Right. See how that works for you.

Scotland was founded by the daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh who was part of the great exodus. Fair skin with red hair.

It's only been today that he resigned - I don't get how these flaky, seemingly unstable Parliamentary gov'ts operate. As nutso as Canada, UK, France, if not more so.

From what I have seen, the Lib Brit press isn't going out of it's way to report anything but to speculate who will be next to step in. They don't seem to want to discuss this "Hate Crime Law" as a factor, what will become of it, or when. Surprise, surprise.

I got into a somewhat heated argument with a Scottish Scot. (Born in Scotland) over the idea of Scottish Independence. He stated that we Americans only wanted it so we could get a Scottish passport. I brought up the fact that just maybe the Diaspora would like closer ties with the motherland. He shut up after that.
Many of my Scottish ancestors came here because they WERE jacobites. And one such relative was executed in 1747.

Maybe not founded, named after. Robert Sepehr has a great channel.

12th-century sources state Scotland was named after princess Scota, the daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh who married a Scythian prince, the founder of the Scots and Gaels after being exiled from Egypt.

Yes, they created the kingdom of dal Riata eventually moving to Scotland where they brought the Stone of Destiny to crown the Kings.

That guy is no liberal. He’s using the old adage. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is the long game at play. Use the libs to crush your opponents into submission. Then take over. Trojan horse type move

They have a saying ' In my heart I'm Scottish but in my pocket I'm British'

Recent genetic testing showed that most of them (on the West Coast anyway) are exactly what their family legends said they were. Descendants of sailors from the Spanish Armada who survived the sinking of their ships and managed to get to shore. Realizing they would never get home to Spain, most settled down, married a local girl and spread their dusky Mediteranian genes.

Legends from the 12th century of the modern era about "Princesses" who lived several thousand years earlier are interesting. So is the equally common legend that "England" was founded by a Trojan Prince who led the exiles after the Greeks destroyed their city.

There could be pieces of reality in both mythic cycles (there often are). Eighteenth-Dynasty Egyptian beads have been found in British Graves (not in Scotland, as far as I know). That would be the era of King Tut. The Greek Bronze Age world traded with Cornwall in the UK for Tin (to make their Bronze) so refugees could have fled there. In both places, people already existed, and as has been pointed out, the "Scoti" came from Ireland around the 5th century and became "The Scots." That is somewhat "recorded" history based on the limited information we have from that period, mostly provided by slightly later ecclesiastical writers and historians. The archeology tends to support that, but The Picts and other people were already there.

You also have the legend of Tea Tepi , daughter of Zedekiah Last King of Judah, who came to Ireland with Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch.
She became Queen of Tara and the Ark of the Covenant was buried at Tara according to the British Israelites.

I read that there were discrepancies in that finding,

Many Irish will have dna markers from Spain anyway as the Irish Celts are from Iberia not Gaul.

Good! He had also strongly supported kids' gender change obviously because he knew it would reduce the white birthrate since Islamic children will never have that choice no matter how many laws are on the books.

Yes, but in different periods. A GOOD DNA test can tell the contributions thousands of years apart. But yes, many modern Irish are initially from Spain (Basque Area), just like it says in the Old Irish Mythic/Story cycles. In this context (the history of a People or Culture), "Mythic" does not necessarily mean "made-up." It simply means it is a story passed down that people were taught and made up a part of the cultural ethos. Often, parts of such cycles turn out to be true. Betsy Ross made a flag, but I'm not sure about George Washington never telling a lie. I'm open to the Cherry Tree Story - you get the idea.

The studies also show that many of the "Iberia" may not be Celts. Indeed, they are Celts culturally, as is most of Ireland. However, most Celtic DNA is concentrated on the East Coast, which makes sense. However, their culture seems so attractive to the people already here that they adopted it as their own, which is how a lot of culture spreads.

It is still in the early days, and DNA research (the real sort) keeps improving over time, sometimes upending earlier findings. However, we can already tell the difference between the DNA of the Bronze Age (or Iron Age) and that of the 16th century.
