The leadership battle hots up, ‘up there’ in what is currently the northernmost extremity of Great Britain, though if they get their way, that title goes to Carlisle. Possibly Newcastle, need to get a map.

First we had ‘Katie-gate’, in which Kate Forbes was brutally exposed as… A CHRISITIAN!!! The worst thing you could ever be in a… errrrr… in a Christian country like Britain/Scotland. Because she’s too Christian. A touch too Mississippi for Dumfries and Oban, where they like their Christianity a little more liberal and inclusive than Ms Forbes would find acceptable. She did pull a Rees-Mogg who said, when he too was accused of being excessively Christian in a leadership race, that ‘he wouldn’t let his personal revulsion of gay marriage nor his abject disgust of abortion in any circumstances affect his political judgment in the wider social political context.’ His words may have been slightly different. But he was lying anyway. And it creates the impossible to believe situation in which you think one thing, with all your heart AND SOUL, yet are going to legislate in a completely opposite manner? Yeah, right.

Which is all in favour of Humza Yousaf who is, most certainly, no radical Christian, nor any other type of Christian whatsoever. He’s a Muslim. Ahhhh, that’s better, a religion famous for its tolerance, inclusivity, always receptive to modernity and concerned with women’s rights and gays. And although no radical type anything, nor a deeply religious man, he still consulted with the Muslim community leaders before abstaining on the gay marriage vote. “Ahhhh, I was busy that day”. And thus comes Humza-gate. Too influenced by Muslim mainstream doctrine and his community to rule in a ‘proper secular way’.

And for that you really need someone truly irreligious. Someone totally godless and more aligned to the devil himself. Someone like Boris. Although some concept of ‘morality’ and ‘decency’ might arguably be at least a minor virtue for a national leader.

Spurs playing Chelsea in 2 hours time. More stress.

Happy Sunday
