[Michael Matheson: Scottish health secretary (Finally)
quits over £11k iPad bill
]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-68239365


[Michael Matheson has resigned
as Scotland's health secretary ahead
of a report into an £11,000 bill
that was racked up on his parliamentary iPad.
Mr Matheson said he was standing down
because he did not want the row over the
bill to become a distraction.
The iPad charges, initially paid out of
the public purse, were incurred during
a family trip to Morocco in late 2022.

When details of the bill were first
made public, he said the device had
only been used for parliamentary work.
But he subsequently admitted that his
sons had used the iPad as a data
hotspot so they could watch football.

He has since paid back the bill
in full and apologised.]

BBC News Text:
[The Daily Telegraph leads with a story on
Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf,
who the paper reports has been accused of a
"conflict of interest after overriding officials
to give £250,000 to a Gaza aid agency while
his family was trapped in the warzone"
.
Mr Yousaf, whose parents-in-law spent four
weeks trapped in Gaza last year,
overruled official advice on
giving a donation worth £100,000
to £200,000 to Unicef, the paper says.
It reports that he instead donated £250,000
on the same day as he met UN aid officials,
and the following day his in-laws
safely left Gaza.
The first minister has denied that the donation
was in any way connected to the release
of his family.]

Thumbs down Hateful language from Useless Yousaf

Posted by David Duguid MP

Watching BBC Sunday Show earlier, did the First Minister really state his desire to kick me (and fellow @ScotTories MPs) “out of Scotland?”

Not just out of Parliament mind you, but kicked out of my home country?
How does this language sit with SNP’s #HateCrime legislation?

Exclamation Thought Police

Scotland has entered a very dangerous place, Police Scotland told to target
comedians and other performers for hate crimes in their acts

Also included are bloggers and publisher's & anyone who redistributes anything
deemed to fall foul of law, retweeting or posting on this platform are prime examples

Police Scotland have vowed to investigate every reported allegation, how long
till they're swamped in allegations?

I suspect they're going to be shocked out of at least some of this at the next GE - if they have the self-awareness to realise what the reasons for it are. Hopefully they do know it has absolutely nowt to do with "leaked WhatsApp conversations" or missing camper vans and that it's 99% down to these sorts of policy decisions that are actually wildly unpopular.

Scotland is big on ACTUAL Social Justice IMO which means we like things NOT to be regulated officially and to deal with things by voting with our feet and taking the piss. It's tradition. We want to make fun of people who are spouting pish, not have them officially removed. How boring?

Exclamation Scots Tory's police row over 'hate' tweet claim

An MSP is threatening to take legal action against Police Scotland after a tweet he posted criticising the Scottish Government’s transgender policy was logged as a ‘hate incident’.

Veteran Conservative Murdo Fraser said the force had ‘behaved not just outrageously, but unlawfully’ after learning that his name appears in police files for expressing a political view.

A trans activist reported the post on X, formerly Twitter, to Police Scotland whose officers decided it did not amount to a crime but should be classed as a ‘hate incident’ which will remain on record – even though no law had been broken.

Mr Fraser, MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife, is threatening legal action against the force to have the incident deleted and its hate crime policy changed, with the support of the Free Speech Union (FSU).



Last night Mr Fraser told the Mail: ‘Police Scotland has behaved not just outrageously, but unlawfully according to the legal advice obtained by the FSU. This is Police Scotland attacking free speech but it is more sinister than that. My tweet wasn’t pointing a finger at an individual, it was critical of a Scottish Government policy. If police are now treating criticism of SNP policy as hate incidents, that is a really serious issue as it shows how Police Scotland has been captured by the SNP policy agenda.’

On November 18 last year, Mr Fraser shared a column written by Susan Dalgety for The Scotsman, which claimed the SNP Government’s non-binary equality action plan would lead to children being ‘damaged by this cult’.

Commenting on the shared post, Mr Fraser said: ‘Choosing to identify as “non-binary” is as valid as choosing to identify as a cat. I’m not sure governments should be spending time on action plans for either.’ A member of the public reported the post to Police Scotland, claiming it constituted hatred against non-binary or transgender persons.

The Mail is not disclosing the name of the complainant, who is a trans activist...

The ridiculous law should absolutely be abused as above, to shine a light on how ridiculous it is.

"Hate incident", my foot.
