In 1991, during the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein ordered the ignition of more than 600 oil wells in Kuwait. The resulting fires burned for months and were so massive they could be seen from space, darkening the skies even in daylight. At their peak, the burning wells consumed up to 6 million barrels of oil per day.
This is not democracy at work it’s a complete erosion of national sovereignty and accountability.
I genuinely thought it was a joke at first. A guy who only arrived in the country in 2021, on a temporary student/graduate visa, with no long-term commitment to Scotland , no roots here, and apparently fundraising for his next visa just to stay… has now been elected as an MSP for the Scottish Greens in Edinburgh & Lothians East.
He can now help shape laws, spending, and policy that affect Scottish taxpayers, communities, housing, services, and culture for years while his own right to be here could be temporary.
This isn’t “diversity” or “inclusion.” This is fucking lunacy.

Then Garth Crooks shows a side of him that I didn't know about.
No cards, no fuss.

It’s just a fabulous goal in many ways!
The move, the finish, the windmill celebration and the commentary.

In honour of Humza Yousaf deciding to step down as an MSP at the next election.
I thought I'd take this opportunity to look back on some of the highlights of Humza's career
