His shirt: WHITE! His resignation letter: WHITE! The podium: WHITE! His eyeballs and teeth: WHITE! His successor: WHITE!
Removal van - White, P45 - White
In Canada Trudeau from the same breed is busy destroying Canada , hangs on like a leech.
His tie: WHITE!
His wife: White....
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
To quote the great Donald J. Trump, “Everything woke turns to sh*t”.
Nothing 'great' about a Shabbos goy.
This is such a important day for Scotland it should actually be made a public holiday, I’m absolutely delighted this evil is gone, he made the most racist speech I’ve heard in my lifetime, and his hate speech law is basically the start of sharia law.
If this actually ends up with him gone from politics for good or at least never holding any office of power than great... But as long as the next phase will be a result of SNP+Green agreement of any kind it hardly can be any good. Remember it was not the things you criticize Humza for that made him resign... and people who installed him are still in charge.
it will genuinely stay with me for long time
what evil bit strong what evil did he do then get a grip
The nightmare isn't over unfortunately.
The hideous ideology that Humza subscribes to remains lurking like a cancer in every cell of our society: Government, The Police, Armed Forces, Schools, Universites, Journalism etc.
It is also present in nearly every political party: The SNP, Labour, The Greens, Lib Dems and even many so called conservatives.
A battle won, but the war rages on.
@@dianecameron137 His attempt to criminalize speech and opinion may not be "evil," but it isn't harmless.
Thank God! Now to get rid of Saidq Khan
Going after two people of colour? Thanks for being honest on a public forum; wear your racism proudly.
@@jaid2383FFS, 🤡
we found our racist! The two are nothing alike except skin colour you muppet.
Have you actually done any reaserch on how terrible the other woman is? At least Khan helped the housing reform in the right direction. Or are you doing it just because he's brown...
Amen to that was he wearing a white shirt when he resigned 😑 or was it none binary 😅
Surrender flag.....WHITE!
👍
White white white. Bloody lovely white!
Trans or hate, one of the two, or both. He has so little idea of what the Scottish people want. Giving money to h.a.m,a.s probably didn't help either.
his brother in law is a murderer.
In his speech he made it clear he does not care what Scottish people want, he rejected populism which is doing what the voting majority want aka democracy instead he said he represents minority interests...exactly the problem 🙄
and the Orwellian Hate Crime thing as well
I would say what did him in was the the horrific law passed that made it possible for the police to take a 74 year old woman to the station house based on a hearsay claim of hate speech.
She was known to the police already as the hateful neighbour has been making her life hell for rhe past two years. Didn't make the slightest difference to the police, though. They still decided to arrest her knowing full well that the neighbour was the aggressor.
Rowling banished Voldemort.
😂
Trudeau hangs on like a leech .
There's going to be more resignations until politicians disentangle themselves from fantasy green and trans issues.
Well said
Anyone arrested under this stupid ill fated spell as first minister should sue him for wrongful prosecution!.
Police Scotland killed the hate speech law dead in the first 24h.
1. They backed down from JK Rowling on trans ideology.
2. They stated humzers racist rant was not racist.
Then we have the
Cass report.
The plan had been to establish case law from the woke courts and essentially invent the law out of thin air by using structural leftism within Police and judiciary.
Years of plotting and scheming by the greens and snp destroyed in a few days 😂
To paraphrase Yousaf, the leader of Scotland Black, the leader of Wales Black, the leader of our capital city Black, the leader of the UK Black! How do you feel Yousaf 😂
Neither of the above are black.
I’m black and I’ve got a 12 incher.
Those little Indus Arabs are missing 9 inches on your boy here.
😂👍
Shocking track record, no leader and no money to campaign - a vote of no confidence to bring about a general election could be the end of the SNP. Sturgeon’s true legacy.
What did you expect he's Palestinian lol.
Great day for Scotland and the UK 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧
Resigned but hasn't stepped down, useless is still in charge.........
Humza has not resigned as First Minister he has resigned as Leader of the SNP. What next? The vote of no confidence in the First Minister still stands as far as I am concerned and must go ahead.
@@icarus877- yes the conservatives have to push this vote tomorrow or Wednesday
Oh no
He needs to go now or he'll send millions more money to support Gamas and Palestine. That's all he was bothered about, to look good in the eyes of the Asians. His brother in law from Palestine us up for murder.
Hes playing for time.
The door that hit him on the way out- "WHITE"!
😑
SNP have screwed themselves, time to go
🙏
What Great News....P45....White. Removal Van.......White. Shirt.......White
Hope so. The tans debate should never ever be even a discussion
EXCELLENT news
Glad it was noted here that the Scottish Greens have said many times that they would not work with Kate Forbes when she was up for the position over a year ago that Humza got.
The Greens and Sturgeon did not want Forbes because she is openly Christian, believing it would conflict with their only concern, gender identity and young children.
The level of hate against Forbes simply for been a Christian is outrageous.
The irony in all of this is that Humza sacking the Greens was the only decent thing he has done in over a year. Funny thing is though, he sacked them 2 days after Green Leader Patrick Harvey refused to accept the findings of the Cass Review, despite admitting he had never read it. He went on to say that the activists in social media were upset and critical of the report, taking that as more valid than the contents of the Cass Review itself.
So could it be that the sensible politicians in the SNP wondered where the hell the Greens were getting their stats from that was informing also their Green advocacy.
How could anyone now believe a word the Scottish Greens say about anything.
I for one am so glad that these hypocrite activists are out of government.
Incidentally, their prejudice against Christians needs addressing immediately.
Christianophobic hate watch carefully what they say, hate crime complaints at the ready !
Patrick Harvie knows zilch about science or health (in fact, he hasn't got a degree in anything), and, even if he read the Cass report, he wouldn't understand any form of scientific research.
I give the Scottish Greens a new motto-"We're thick and proud of it".
Get Woke, Go Broke.
Goodbye to bad rubbish.
The trans debate? The man has a brother in law who is a murderer. Is that not enough to bring him down?
What brought him down was his sheer incompetence as a politician. He has failed in everything that he has done.
He does politics like a true Palestinian!
Humza has not resigned as First Minister he has resigned as Leader of the SNP. What next? The vote of no confidence in the First Minister still stands as far as I am concerned and must go ahead.
Humza has sad eyes. So sad....
So sad
So sad
So sad
And inner Jihad with hatemonster on roids.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
Bwaaaaaaaaaahahahaha 😂🤣
What a glorious day .....
Trans? No it’s his hate speech against the island natives that brought him down.
Correctamundo
💯👏👏👏🏴🏴🏴
As a devout racist I wonder how Scotland will replace a First Minister who did more for racism than any of his predecessors. I can't think of anybody who could replace Yusef given that Barbecue guy in Haiti likely isn't eligible.
Don't worry, Scottish Labour have a chance of taking the reigns in a couple of years, if not before. Anas Sarwar made almost exactly the same 'white!" speech as Useless. Your desire for continuity racism may be satisfied.
Theresa May! How could you?? LOL!
Humza brought Humza down by sacking the S Greens without doing the arithmetic first
Can't stand the greens
(1) Leo 'night club' Varadkar, (2) Pork Pie Useless, (3) Sad Sack Khan, (4) Sushi Ruinak.... note the trend.
The liquid that came out of my pants when I found out Humza is resigning. White.
TMI
Ewww🤢
lol
Nice cushty job at UN, WEF, or WHO beckons... undemocratic organisations usually favour those with an hubristic authoritarian bent.
Kepp the 'Greens' away from children .
Expected it in Urdu.
Is he taking his hate crime law with him?
No! A majority of MSPs still love that.
All the MSPs voted for this hate crime law unbelievable so we really have no one and if Scottish Labour win in the general election we will have another racist like Humza his name is Anas Sarwar Not much hope for us Scots 😢
The Scottish Liebour leader made the same Whhiittee Speech .
Useless must have concerns for his family: he won't be able to pull any strings to help his drug-dealing brother-in-law escape a potential murder charge (allegedly); and nor will he, in future, be able to establish a parallel foreign policy (outwith the bounds of the Scotland Act) and funnel undesignated aid money to a discredited terrorist-aligned charity to pay for the release of family members from a war-zone (allegedly). Let's hope the next FM doesn't view his/her position as enabling such perks.
Humza racist needs to go to prison.
He is not a lovely guy! Plenty attest to the contrary.
Agree
If he does leave Bute House I hope that the inventory is checked .
We don’t want anything else stolen .
Wonderful news
Humza Useless' legacy is Divisive Incompetence
Yes, and rightly so.
Jail for Humza is what’s next.
Parting from the Greens and resigning…. he got a couple of things right then!
I hope that's true. You folks deserve better. I always want the best for Swedan, and all our European brothers and sisters. ❤❤❤❤❤
I think it was his 'opening the doors of Scotland to the Palestinian refugees' idea he had...
Now off with Sadiq Khan
What would happen if a white politician parodied Humza's "white" speach but substituted the word "White" with the word "Black"?
WEF: "Next please..."
I doubt it, it was his own incompetence and failures. Classic example of failing upwards.
Probably and good riddance
I still dont understand how Yousef won in the first place!! Scots need to be proud of their heritage and stop giving in to these non european racists.
SADIQ KHAN why don’t you join your mate and resign please
He is STILL First Minister
Even in utter defeat humzer again made a racist smear against the Scottish people in his resignation speech, he learned absolutely nothing, too arrogant, too narcissistic.
Not just any Narcissist, he's a Marks & Spencer Narcissist :D Does politics like a true Palestinian. He's bound to return to Beijing now, take Cat-Galloway's old job.
A hard-core racist.
The Spectator has managed to cover this announcement whilst ignoring all of the most important points. The Spectator doesn't have it's finger on the pulse much more than Yousaf. Yousaf is also certainly the most deservedly despised authoritarian monster in UK politics today.
Not as loathed as Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London.
Sarwar same 🏳🏳🏳speech🥴 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩red flags
Sarwar is just as bad as Humza
Resignation paper - WHITE !
Flag - WHITE !
"Lovely guy"? He's horrific! Good riddance
Good riddance to bad rubbish!!
He should consider floating his own SNP- Sharia Nationalist Party.
Election needed
The Scottish Greens are divided too, they are NOT environmentalists primarily.
Investigate him like Nicola Sturgeon
The Scottish media are doing a great job promoting Swinney. A more pointless, hopeless waster you couldn't meet, but a "safe pair of hands". God help us!
Agree
He could always be a taxi driver or start a kebab shop.
He would fail at either. Guy is a serial failure.
Fkn good ridden
Poor Hamza. So woke. So broke.
He served no purpose to man or beast....a total waste of space..
Why do Spectator take down comment about the Scottish Family Party?
Excellent 👍🏻
Harvie is creepy as f**k!
Have heard or seen this Man saying he is going....look at his words, I have not...check his words, he's lying.
Is he leaving the UK, his hate is triggered by all the while people around him so he can't want to stay here surely.
Any chance we could get someone, logical, level headed, scientifically minded and rational in charge?
I realises its asking a lot but it would definitely be best.
scamza yusuf finally gone, better audit his expenses, a pakistani minister was caught pinching a wallet so it runs in the family.
What’s next Khan and Sunak I hope
The bigot has gone..lovely
He will turn up in Beijing and take Cameron's old job! Lol I guarantee it give it 3 months.
Kate Forbes can be the First Minister as long as Ash Regan backs her and as they are both on the same side of the gender recognition argument I don’t see why she wouldn’t.
A lucky break for Scotland, he is the victim of his own arrogance.
could be the trans stuff or money to hamas or links to bruv in law or smug looks or arrogance or bigotry against Kate or something else? His speech revealed a self obsessive depressive with zero responsiblities for his crass actions, a coward and a gaslighter.
I think Forbes would be a good choice.
NO! Everything else.
The first and ONLY Muslim in any place of power in GBR as a whole if we real Britsh have any brains at all
Which we 100% DO NOT have. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns up next year in the Labour Party here, having joined the CCP and followed the footsteps of Cameran and Galloway.
This will many Scotts happy - and even Mel Gibson.
He could take one of the toilet cleaning jobs in immigrant hotels?
When all the mainstream parties are the same, few things happen by chance.
Trans debate? It isn't a debate, it's the politburo.
Only Kate Forbes can save SNP. Or Scots Voter's will stay home & not vote as other choices are not great.
It seems clear that the SNP is now a spent force, not just for internal reasons of which there are many, but because they are ideologically and temperamentally boxed in and unable to go into coalition or cooperation agreements with other parties. Alba will benefit, perhaps even inherit from this impending collapse, but it may not reach the dizzy heights of dominating Hollyrood or control of Bute House for a long, long time, if ever.
Realistically, imagining the SNP as a permanently spent force is a fever dream.
The demographics on Scottish independence have been going one way and one way only for the past 50 years.
And it's particularly popular among teens and 18-35s. The only way the SNP are going down the pan, is if another pro-independence party manages to displace them. Possible, but unlikely...
@@michaelgove9349 Do you recall the referendum results? And the arguments around what "once in a generation" actually meant? I was reasonably impressed by the arguments around Brexit and the constitutional arrangements. But the SNP was not cutting it due to its own corruption and incompetence. Hence minority government, in be with the Greens and full scale embrace of "the woke agenda". You well know what I mean. It is an insult and disservice to John Knox and the Scottish Enlightenment.
adios Minister USELESS!!!
He could open a children's nursery in broughty ferry, employ his brother in law when he get's out of the clink!
Oh, no! Say it ain't so!
Hasn’t resigned.Does not have the decency.The people of Scotland have got to suffer till they vote in another independent individual and then they will bring the greens back on board.Nothing has changed or will change as the Greens are going to vote against the no confidence in government vote.
Any one for champagne 🍾...hiphip..hiphip..🥂
As we say in Scotland Useless was nothing but a funny so the trans bill would be fitting
