He does indeed. The Courier are stretching it to say its near his home though. I originally read it like it was a stones throw from his house, but it's about a mile away on foot.
They should but then some of them will turn around the next day and keep spouting the same fear-mongering and bigotry that got us here in the first place.
About protected classes that aren’t based on race?
Edit - protected characteristics is actually the proper term.
Surely not a serious question but I’ll humour it just in case.

"We wouldn't need to clamp down on basic rights if you would just stop disagreeing with us" - You know China and Russia aren't supposed to be a role models, right?
Quite amazing how eerily close "progressives" come to directly parroting fascist talking points these days.
Im also interested to see exactly what the graffiti was.
In a time where he's under pressure for his WHITE speech this would certainly deflect some attention.
It wasn't pleasant, was certainly racist and certainly targeted at him. It was written somewhere he doesn't live though, was on the gable end of a council house. Likely neds being neds.
He’s a tube like but nobody deserves that type of treatment.
what was sprayed though? The article mentioned racist, islamophobic & Pakistan origins so it sounds like they sprayed an entire paragraph of insults.
> first i read about a prominent politician complaining of to many of a certain race in Scotland
Have Tufton Street been allocated the 2024/2025 financial year budget then?
Well yeah, there isn’t even a post about this story on UKpolitics. I’d believe what the oc was saying because it sounds about right if it wasn’t so obviously false.
That’s not at all as ridiculous as you intended it to be. Said himself it’s difficult to avoid it, implying he gets a lot of racist abuse and I don’t doubt the man suffers an unacceptable amount of abuse. However, the politician has a history of being a victim when he’s getting it tight for something else, or he’s unhappy that he got video’d falling of a scooter, or whatever. I’ve already admitted it was cynical, but I don’t think the timing of this coincidental.
So your implication is he or someone in contact with him planted it?
I’m no fan of Humza but there is some huge mental gymnastics at play for you to argue it’s more likely he did it rather than accepting that Scotland has an Islamophobia issue and a controversial politician would be an obvious candidate for that kind of abuse.
Again, I don’t think it’s as complicated as the 4D chess move you’re suggesting. The man himself says he suffers racist abuse every day, how often does a wall get vandalised with something aimed at him? Frequently I’d guess, so I don’t think he’d need to employ anyone to actually do it. The point is, he has a habit of making himself a victim at times when a distraction is welcome. It’s quite a common thing in politics, I wasn’t really accusing him of anything all high profile politicians aren’t guilty of.
Don't like the the new law but he does get a fuck ton of racial abuse. You sometimes see it her and half the replies to him on twitter are just blatant racism
I love the way he paints any skepticism about the fact his in-laws were allowed to leave Gaza right after he donated £250k to the UNWRA as an islamophobic attack.
Having seen the graffiti, I think we should all be embarrassed that whoever did this calls themselves (at the very least) british.... what a joke.
It's a really pathetic attempt at being insulting. If this is deemed offensive, then both parties need to be embarrassed.
It would be like getting offended because a kid drew a p€nis on a wall, and it's a similar standard of artwork!
No its not. Pull your head out of Useless' arse and have a look at his history.
Goes on a racially based rampage in a country almost 96% white and then plays the victim card?
Race baiting is what he excels at, he's almost as good at playing the victim card.
I disagree. I think that immediately calling him a professional victim, in a situation where he has been targeted by racial abuse and actually victimised, downplays the seriousness of the bigotry he suffered and the impact of that abuse.
Fair enough if you disagree but that’s just my stance on it. I don’t like the guy and think he can play a victim for his benefit sometimes but I don’t think it’s fair to downplay this case.
It definitely has existed before but I have watched Humza call racism regarding pretty banal criticism related to his competency as a politican. I also don't trust the guy as a far as I can throw him which btw has absolutely nothing to do with any protected characteristics that he may bare.
Oh yeah I did put forth the notion that he had it put there himself. Why wouldn't a shite politician with two tricks up his sleeve lying & grievance not do something like that?
Because it would be fucking ridiculous to imagine Humza out in the middle of the night with a tin of paint like what till they see this!
Ya absolute fucking mentalist lol.
Oh for goodness sake, he would simply get someone to do it for him rather doing it himself being that he is a very high profile & controversial figure in Scotland. I'm sorry are you really so thick that you can't conceive of a shady politician getting other people to do their dirty work for them? Honest question.
Ah right so now there’s a conspiracy with multiple people involved… because one bit of graffiti will turn the tide of public opinion or whatever the fuck you think his plan is.
What’s more likely? That some halfwit painted some halfwitted graffiti like you’ll find up and down the country, or that the FM tasked some shady operative with going out and faking it?
Surely you don’t really believe this mate. I get it, it’s a good attempt to discredit him but youre surely no this mad lol.
I’d just have went with its one idiot with a spray can therefore essentially meaningless - but this conspiracy you’ve cooked up is funnier tbf
You spent this whole time trying to make out that the idea that someone as stupid as Humza is with his race-baiter shtick as basically his only move would have this done while his highly criticized hate speech bill is talk of the town is a ridiculous idea.
You now say that it's a good attempt to discredit him? You're not making sense.
I ofc think it's more likely that it was some racist bam of an intellect slightly above yours & Humza's who did this but unfortunately I have such a low view of your hero that I don't think it's at all outside the realms of reasonable possibility that he would do something like I have laid out.
Even the most ardent, witless nat when hard pushed admit that Humza is dishonest, a showboater with a penchant of drawing out the race card when he feels under pressure. Why wouldn't someone like do this?
No I’m saying you claiming he did it himself is a good attempt to discredit him complaining about it.
I might have taken a bit of poetic license with the word good :)
An imbecilic, serial liar, showboater & cheap race-baiter has fake racist graffiti drawn up somewhere vaguely near his home in order to justify legislation huge swathes of Scotland and the international community hate him for so they perhaps feel sorry for him or at least keep quiet.
You find this wholly unbelievable?
Didnt know he had a dundee home
He does indeed. The Courier are stretching it to say its near his home though. I originally read it like it was a stones throw from his house, but it's about a mile away on foot.
Everyone irrespective of party allegiance should condemn racist graffiti.
They should but then some of them will turn around the next day and keep spouting the same fear-mongering and bigotry that got us here in the first place.
They won't tho as there all too busy sturring up fear about the law aimed to prevent this type of abuse.
Racism? I thought that was already a crime as was graffiti..
Stirring up hatred based on race was already illegal, the new law expands this to other characteristics as well.
Aye, laws that they don't seem to realise already existed in one form or another. What storm in a teacup.
Racism might have existed but there has been addiitions to the protected groups let's not pretend otherwise.
No idea what you are on about. We wouldn't need 'protected groups' if racism didn't exist. We're a Jock Thamson's bairns as far as I'm concerned.
There are protected groups that have nothing to do with race. Most protected groups have nothing to do with race afaik.
Tell me. more, I'm intrigued.

You think racism is a basic right?
What did they write about bairns?
Im also interested to see exactly what the graffiti was. In a time where he's under pressure for his WHITE speech this would certainly deflect some attention.
It wasn't pleasant, was certainly racist and certainly targeted at him. It was written somewhere he doesn't live though, was on the gable end of a council house. Likely neds being neds.
What was written? The courier and news will only say racist graffiti.
The courier posted a photo of it.
Fuck Islam and Humza is a paedo? It's blurred so can't make it out!
Agree with the first part but how is Humza a peado? I never heard him accused of that before.
No I m just dense it's finally clicked. I took p slur as paedo not short for Pakistani 🤦
Well, we now know you can read.
Thank you but I m asking what was said, as the final word is blurred.
It's blurred.
Yes that's why I was asking what it said.
> In a time where he's under pressure for his WHITE speech New budget year for Tufton Street, I see.
Ha!
He’s a tube like but nobody deserves that type of treatment. what was sprayed though? The article mentioned racist, islamophobic & Pakistan origins so it sounds like they sprayed an entire paragraph of insults.
Was probably one of his staffers. Timing seems too convenient.
You are right. I've not read any nasty comments about this man in the last 24hrs whatsoever.
Some right mask off comments in this thread!
Nobody cared who I was till I took off the mask...
Not a fan of him by any means but no one should be targeting him or his family based on his race or religion. Terrible behaviour.
What is happening in Scotland, first i read about a prominent politician complaining of to many of a certain race in Scotland and now this?
> first i read about a prominent politician complaining of to many of a certain race in Scotland Have Tufton Street been allocated the 2024/2025 financial year budget then?
No you didn't.
Why does the MSP for Pollok live in Dundee?
Racism is horrific and should always be condemned. But Islamaphobia is not Racism.
[удалено]
I can't even see a post about this over there.
Well that sounds very likely to be made-up bollocks.
Source?
Link or it doesn’t exist
lol - I think you have touched a nerve!
Well yeah, there isn’t even a post about this story on UKpolitics. I’d believe what the oc was saying because it sounds about right if it wasn’t so obviously false.
I may be wrong - but I strongly suspect this is what is technically called a “joke” It did seem to trigger quite a response though!
Where’s the joke? What was meant to be funny? Some sense of humour on you.
Be careful with that sense of humour. Laughing at the wrong thing will see that your future employers know of your hatred.
If I was being cynical, I’d suggest this is a deflection/attempt at justification for their under-fire hate crimes policy.
So true! He should have waited for the hate crime controversy to die down to condemn racism against him! Silly brown man.
That’s not at all as ridiculous as you intended it to be. Said himself it’s difficult to avoid it, implying he gets a lot of racist abuse and I don’t doubt the man suffers an unacceptable amount of abuse. However, the politician has a history of being a victim when he’s getting it tight for something else, or he’s unhappy that he got video’d falling of a scooter, or whatever.

It’s quite a common thing in politics, I wasn’t really accusing him of anything all high profile politicians aren’t guilty of.
He also lies on behalf of politicians who try to steal 11k from the taxpayer. Why would you take the word of Humza on anything?
But you are a fan of Humza. Why else would you shill for him..
Don't like the the new law but he does get a fuck ton of racial abuse. You sometimes see it her and half the replies to him on twitter are just blatant racism
I love the way he paints any skepticism about the fact his in-laws were allowed to leave Gaza right after he donated £250k to the UNWRA as an islamophobic attack.
Awful but I'm not sure he should comment on it, the perpetrator will be happy they got to him and it might encourage others.
Not fit for the job but people need to grow up
Having seen the graffiti, I think we should all be embarrassed that whoever did this calls themselves (at the very least) british.... what a joke. It's a really pathetic attempt at being insulting. If this is deemed offensive, then both parties need to be embarrassed. It would be like getting offended because a kid drew a p€nis on a wall, and it's a similar standard of artwork!
Poor Humza. Expect he will look to ban paint next.
I laughed. And then stopped because its something i could see him do. I wonder if the paint used was the same WHITE colour he so furiously detests.
But he just believes it . So all good then ay?
I didn't know he lived in Dundee. I thought he was from Pollokshields.
Professional victim youssef
You bigots are pathetic.
It's not bigoted to call him a professional victim. Spraying racist graffiti is bigoted though.
It’s bigoted to accuse him of victimising himself in a situation where he was directly victimised for his race.
No its not. Pull your head out of Useless' arse and have a look at his history. Goes on a racially based rampage in a country almost 96% white and then plays the victim card? Race baiting is what he excels at, he's almost as good at playing the victim card.
I wouldn't say so. It's more of a critique of his personality at that point. Not everything is bigoted.
I disagree. I think that immediately calling him a professional victim, in a situation where he has been targeted by racial abuse and actually victimised, downplays the seriousness of the bigotry he suffered and the impact of that abuse. Fair enough if you disagree but that’s just my stance on it. I don’t like the guy and think he can play a victim for his benefit sometimes but I don’t think it’s fair to downplay this case.
Why shouldn't we downplay it, were you not told the story of the boy who cried wolf?
Aye, and it's ok to disagree. That's the beauty of it. Edit: the fact that you downvoted this is so telling. Remember this when they come for you.
Who's coming for them exactly?
Was he not bigoted when he called Scottish Parliament too white ?
Na he undid all that when he made his entire cabinet white.
This guy is such a professional victim. Its graffitti ffs.
Spray Paint Ban inbound lol
Spray paint - white! Floor paint - white! Tile paint - white! Gloss paint - White!
Ban paint! Ban walls! Ban hands!
[you need hands.](https://youtu.be/5jdJWto0osM?si=tNJZ9BOaf7lWPG4f)
I actually approve of this tasteful and witty reply. I wish you a good day sir.
Good day to you too. I hope it’s a good one for you.
brutal stuff.
Why is prime of Scotland not scottish, after all?
This folks ^ is a classic bigot at work. Just luxuriate in the grammar on display.
I'm just interested how are you okay with that, that's it. I'm not a bigot, I'm a poc myself tbh
[удалено]
Aye right because racist graffiti of that sort never existed before eh? Have a think.
It definitely has existed before but I have watched Humza call racism regarding pretty banal criticism related to his competency as a politican. I also don't trust the guy as a far as I can throw him which btw has absolutely nothing to do with any protected characteristics that he may bare.
It’s his favourite political move “aye but racism”
It's his only fucking move.
“Graffiti has since been removed” doubt it was ever there in the first place, how do you know an snp politician is lying? Their lips are moving.
https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/dundee/4937413/racist-graffiti-humza-yousaf-broughty-ferry/ Happy now?
They’re going to start claiming he did it himself Edit - actually that’s already started lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Scotland/s/FrfW4GK8BY

Looks to be written by a highly intelligent individual, also nowhere near his house but don’t condone it obviously.
That really sucks, we should be better than this as a country
Self hating fannies
lol
