A Muslim woman refused to shake hands with the Crown Prince of Norway during a citizenship ceremony.
Shaking hands is ‘haram’, but seeking refuge in a non-Islamic country, receiving free housing and food, and living on welfare is ‘halal.’
Hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Nicola Sturgeon is a public figure. Her bank balance has been bolstered for nearly 30 years by taxpayers’ cash and she has a gold-plated public sector pension to look forward to. She now uses that public profile to secure lucrative TV and publishing deals and is very happy to charge people to listen to her self-regarding views.
The fact that her husband has just been jailed for stealing from the organisation which she led for most of the period when his crime spree took place, and that she benefited from that spree (albeit she denies knowing the source of his largesse) seems to have passed her by.
Nicola - you are the story. You know that and your faux outrage and distress is as performative as your period in office. If you really don’t want to be centre stage then cancel your public appearances and sack your PR team. Build a low key life, doing good works and giving back. Think about someone other than yourself for a change.
Then and only then can you say “no comment”.
The last multiple stab perpetrator in Edinburgh wasn't even remanded in prison as we are to be concerned about his mental health.
How things change in 90 days.
Humza last week: "It's disgusting to see politicians exploit the murder of Henry Nowak or the attempted beheading in Belfast to push a political agenda"
Humza this week: "lemme just exploit this"
'None of this is happening in a vacuum.'
True. Let's look at the cause shall we?

This is the tip of the iceberg in Scotland alone in recent years.
If you want to summarise just how messed up the United Kingdom is in a single sentence:
The UK government believes that 11 year olds are too young to watch YouTube but old enough to block their puberty and render themselves infertile.
You can be born anywhere.
That’s chance.
The rest is… choice.
Choose the sun in Naples
and the rain in Glasgow.
Choose heading to a World Cup.
Choose tattie scones on a Tuesday
and pizza on a Wednesday.
Ignore everyone telling you it’s easier the other way
and embrace being the underdog.
Choose a skipper that’s always on duty.
Choose getting absolutely written off
and getting up and showing them anyway.
You can’t decide where you’re born.
But you can decide who you stand with.
CHOOSE SCOTLAND 🏴
A man is alleged to have thrown a 3 year old into a crocodile enclosure yesterday.
Less than 24 hours later, police say he's been released on bail because he's “not fit for interview.”
The police are going to have to explain this one.
How is releasing someone back into the public before they've even been interviewed for attempted murder acceptable?
What message does that send?
When people voted for a Scottish parliament in 1997, they didn't vote for:
✈️ World Cup trips
🇵🇸 Endless Gaza debates
🚺 Campaigns to let biological men into women's toilets
It is utterly scandalous what's going on in Holyrood.
Sturgeon's Kuenssberg interview was the defining moment in the biggest financial scandal in Holyrood history.
But it is also the last time a politician in a jam will tearfully play the misogyny card.
She wasn't the victim of patriarcy, she was the boss.

Imagine you are a dental hygienist and live in Sweden..
You are employed to help “migrant children” with their dental issues.
As part of your job you examine the wisdom teeth development of the kids and you notice that 80% of those “kids” have fully formed wisdom teeth, implying they are not kids at all but adults older than the age of 18.
You tell the Swedish Migration Agency and they advise you to put it in writing.
When you send exact details, with examples of specific patients you are suspended, investigated and fired for disclosing private information relating to patients.
This happened to Bernt Herlitz in 2017.
When he appealed the unfair dismissal he ultimately lost and was fined about $50,000.
He and his family faced financial hardship and almost lost their home, until some generous benefactors raised money for him. Bernt remains unemployed today, despite staff shortages for dentists in his area in Gotland.
At the time, Sweden scoffed at the tests and claimed they were “discriminatory” but since then they have quietly brought in mass dental testing, for those whose age is in doubt, by the National Board of Forensic Medicine.
Bernt deserves a medal. Not vilification and unemployment.
