I've said it before, but known electoral fraudster Lutfur Rahman's first act as (returning) Mayor of Tower Hamlets was to order the reversal of a bunch of LTN-type infrastructure. He still went ahead with it even when school children were essentially blockading the roads in protest.
For some people, the inability to drive your car WHEREVER I drat WELL WANT TO is an affront to civil liberty that takes precedence over all actual affronts to civil liberty that they don't give a poo poo about.

You directly compared someone on the progressive wing of the SNP, to someone on the reactionary wing of the Liberal Democrats. At best you're seven fedoras deep on r/atheism and at worst you're being obsessed with someone being The Wrong Religion in public office.

The post isn't really about you, and wouldn't be even if you personally were a crofter from Skye. The point is that rural affairs shouldn't be seen as a massive demotion equivalent to being sacked, especially to an MSP who made being from outwith the Central Belt a bit part of platform, alongside attacking the record of the new First Minister repeatedly and talking about how she's stalwart against any social progress. It's dumb. Land reform is a huge part of the brief, and is something the Nats need to do much more on, for example.

I just hope there's no place for my MSP Fergus Ewing in the cabinet.

Mate it's literally the equivalent of a PM making a Merry Christmas post, it's totally harmless. There's every chance Yousaf isn't even particularly religious anyway and it's purely a nice public gesture for Ramadan.

If he was spouting ultra-conservative reactionary bullshit and justifying it with Islam in the same way Forbes was doing with Christianity we'd be calling him out on it, obviously, but he's openly socially progressive and isn't giving any indication that any religious belief he might have will prove a threat to anyone, which is kinda the key point here.

Yeah, every heroin-addicted, khat-chewing, white-cider-drinking muslim is putting on a good show for the fam right now because of Ramadan.
Honestly, it'd be pretty odd if - as a newly-important muslim - he didn't tweet something about it.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly and would most likely have a pint with the young lad now in charge of scotland, and possibly be more politically aligned with him than yourself.

where you suggested he was winding people up and his religion was in fact an issue? Also apparently I wasn't infact allowed to say what i liked about him.

And thats before I get into tesseraction claiming I wouldn't care if he was a Christian, before segueing into me owning a fedora?!? which i assume means I have an issue with all religions? Before posting an image accusing me of moving goalposts? FFS

outside schools makes sense (unless it’s just turning the road into a chelsea tractor school drop off cul de sac), but his point was that all the posh roads got LTNs and the poor streets got all the traffic, but yeah driving turns people brains into uber mad max road warriors doing a speed race regardless
