500channelsurfer Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-64874821 Scotland's pro-independence party and government have a new leader named Humza Yousaf. He speaks with the accent of a typical worldly Scot, is a seasoned politician and has jumped many political hurdles. He will head, for the moment, a coalition with the Greens. His baggage includes criticisms that occurred almost universally during Covid to cabinet ministers heading equivalent departments in the Western world. He reminds me of Quebec during the late 1990s, when progressive and pro-sovereigntist governments lead with great fanfare to little achievement. History most often repeats, but accumulation of small conditional changes lead up to making history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TSS- Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 A hatemongerer of the first order. Yet still better than his predecessor. We in the west seem to have come to the stage that not only foreigners come into our countries but they also become leading politicians. Imagine it the other way round. A non-jewish PM of Israel. That just would be impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
