Humza Yousaf has received more complaints under Scotland’s new hate crime bill for his 2020 speech about “often being the only non-white person in the room” than J.K. Rowling, it was claimed today. The Mail has more.
Since the controversial legislation was rolled out on Monday almost 4,000 complaints are said to have been made to Police Scotland, with the force reportedly dealing with 60 complaints on average per hour.
Police sources have now shed light on the nature of the hate crime complaints, revealing that the majority relate to the First Minister as well as J.K. Rowling.
“A lot of those complaints were about Humza Yousaf, on the same complaint about his parliamentary rant,” an insider told the Sun. “J.K. Rowling has had some, but not as many as Humza Yousaf.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson also said: “We have received a number of complaints in relation to a speech in the Scottish Parliament on June 10th 2020.
“Earlier complaints regarding this matter were assessed at the time and it was established no crime was committed and no further action was required.”
As the storm over the laws continues to intensify, Yousaf’s minister for victims and community Siobhian Brown, warned of “hysteria” gripping Scots, revealing that a member of the public had made a fake complaint in her name.
The SNP MSP said that there was “misinformation” about the new act that was leading people to make a series of “fake and vexatious complaints”. …
Meanwhile, complaints levied against Mr. Yousaf relate to a speech he gave in Holyrood back in 2020 during a debate to show solidarity with anti-racism following the death of George Floyd in the United States.
In a clip, that is often taken out of context and spread widely on social media, the SNP leader tells of how people are surprised that he is often the “only non-white person in the room” in most of the meetings he attends.
He adds: “Why are we so surprised when the most senior positions in Scotland are filled almost exclusively by people who are white?
“Take my portfolio, for example. The Lord President is white, the Lord Justice Clerk is white, every High Court judge is white, the Lord Advocate is white, the Solicitor General is white, the Chief Constable is white, every Deputy Chief Constable is white, every Assistant Chief Constable is white, the head of the Law Society is white, the head of the Faculty of Advocates is white and every prison governor is white.”
A 45-second clip of the lengthy four-year-old speech, that was made in June 2020, gained traction online last year. It was spurred on when X’s owner, Elon Musk, replied “what a blatant racist” to a post by a well-known right-wing media account.

Stop Press: Murdo Fraser MSP has asked Police Scotland if they have logged a ‘non-crime hate incident’ against Humza Yousaf, just as they did against him when a trans activist reported his tweet mocking the SNP’s Non-Binary Equality Action Plan. He pointed out that Police Scotland have to log the ‘hate crime’ reports about Yousaf as an NCHI unless they operate different rules for the First Minister. The Telegraph has more.
Stop Press 2: Toby has written to Humza Yousaf, offering to help him get the NCHI logged against him deleted if he joins the Free Speech Union.

Further proof that this is all about controlling us so that the rich can go wherever they want without bumping into plebs all over the place.
He is Elite don’t you realise that? he is so much more impotant than us plebs, Know your place just pay your taxes so they can live off you like the parasites they are.
“Impotent”.
Small but significant typo I presume.
If only that were the case, but these bu**ers want to pass their riches on to their offspring.
Nuff said!!

I’m left wondering what work was so vital that he had to fly in to do it in person, but only took one day.
Aside, does anyone know the cargo capacity of a Gulfstream G650, expressed in sacks of gold?
yes, or telling someone something (or hearing from someone) that there couldn’t be an electronic or paper trail for
ie backhanders/corruption/you scratch my back etc
anything else can be done on zoom
About £130 Million at todays price. Only about 33 gallons of gold though.
Well that’s my ready made excuse for not ever quarantining. Don’t you know I run a massive bank? Get out of the way peasant.
Well, I can tell you, I really DO have a large bank (at the far end of my garden)!
And yet even Santa had to prove his Covid status to get into the Tesco ad.
The only miracle there is that he wasn’t black like everyone else on TV ads is now.
i am running a competition with my friends to see who spots the first one, but maybe that is one step too far for even wokey-blokeys.
I think Kwanzaa involves the veneration of Saint George.
Zwarte Piet on ads?
banking is simple
you borrow money at one timescale and lend at another
make money off the interest rate difference
what these people do is investment banking. convince you they are clever then invest your money. take a cut whether you win or lose. shysters
Don’t forget also packaging debts up into incomprehensible financial instruments to hide the risk!
“Money talks, virus walks”
Rules for thee but not for me.
Hong Kong was the birthplace of HSBC, a competitor to JP Morgan. It would have been fun to watch Hong Kong quarantine the head of a competitor “for health and safety reasons” for, say, several weeks. 😉 A missed opportunity!
Rich person avoids rules, as old as history
There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Our PM would be OK then, he’s always been a great big banker
Nice. One rule for me, one rule for thee.
In other words the NWO working with China is breaking down HK. the thousands of entrepreneurs who live and work there will gradually go bankrupt and only the big China affiliated banks will be allowed to survive. Taiwan will also be totally controlled by CCP within the next couple of years and Tibet will be completely broken. This is Communism taking over and many of our own Globalists want this system in the West.
Amazing, isn’t it, that this virus has the intelligence to avoid infecting Very Important Persons (or very rich ones)?
