Wee-Bey Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 On a purely superficial level, this must be the best looking leadership contest in the history of British politics. All 3 would have no problems in getting laid. (You'd have to marry Forbes first mind) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Style Council could not be reached for comment From your Herald link: Quote In July, Mr Lal and his Indian Council endorsed Penny Mordaunt in the Tory leadership race to replace Boris Johnson. In December, Mr Lal was at the launch of the Together UK Foundation in London alongside Brexiteer Northern Ireland Secretary Steve Baker and former DUP leader Arlene Foster. He said the group would “inform the public of all the facts of the advantages of the Union”, adding: “I am proud of my country, the United Kingdom and I am proud to be British”. Mr Lal declared: “Rangers Football Club is the greatest football club in Scotland.” So a more honest framing would be that is was reactionaries teaming up to attack a progressive. Then this: 4 hours ago, orfc said: accusing nursery of racism and then shiteing it when owner turned out to be asian themselves That's not what Yousaf did. He suggested his children were excluded on account of their Muslim names not their race. The nursery owners being (non-Muslim) Indian descent adds to that likelihood rather than detracts from it. Anti-Muslim sentiment is very strong in India, state-sanctioned even. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his form I’d suggest they came across as entitled p***ks on the initial enquiry, the nursery decided they’d be nothing but trouble and then did their (very poor) best to patch them. The Yousafs, being entitled p***ks, wouldn’t let it lie and, getting no joy as they escalated it, finally pulled the race card. And you do realise anti-Indian sentiment is just as strong, if not stronger, in Pakistan? They’re locked in a battle trying to prove one to be subservient to the other.

Whilst trying to explain the situation in a little more depth than "they're all brown though LOL" is useful, these sorts of trolls are far too stupid (or racist) to get it. 1 hour ago, George Cowley said: How do you know what Mr/Mrs Yousaf did?

It's unlikely they'd have known Yousaf was involved until things became very public. Their complaint was also upheld by the Care Inspectorate. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest an investigation by the Care Inspectorate probably carries a little bit more weight than the weird ranting of some dafty on P&B. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Forbes has competency questions to answer, but Yousaf is to competent ministership what John Barnes was to football management. A veneer of beige liberal Twitter friendly takes does not actually make him competent leader for this country. I don't think any if them are competent enough to be First Minister. Yousaf has the anti-Midas touch - every post he's been in turns to shit. Forbes's propensity to open her gob and say exactly what she thinks smacks of political naivety. And Regan . . .
