This has got ‘settler in a disused car park, winner takes all’ written all over it
Everyone I know is backing Reform
I thought it was Humza that went on the “racist anti white” rant?
They love the race card.
This is how you fight the far right. Let them know that *no one* wants them. Political rivals can team up against them
White Scots who are now support the far right have always been suseptable to political marketing of grevence whether from the left or right.
The only thing clear thinking Scots can do is challange it on a personal level. Your nan, your mates, the pished guy on the 3 bus. But on a friendly level. Many of these people are just sad and afraid.
Nah, I just don’t see Reform making headway in Scotland. No one I speak to ever brings them up in conversation without scoffing at them. They’re all grifters with significant suspicious financial backing. It’s Ukip/Brexit/Reform/Cambridge Analytica, all the same thing just re branded. Everyone knows to their core they are the far right and we can all see what that’s doing to America…
Why do you vote these racists in Scotland?
Genuinely surprised to learn that every head teacher in Scotland is white. I imagine that’ll change in the next couple years
I’m surprised why so many people in this sub will try and defend the racism by Sarwar because it is Farage pointing it out. Whether you hate him or not – he is completely correct here.
There is nothing wrong with the majority of positions being filled by white people because scotland is a 95% white country. Even then Scotland has had many prominent non-white figures such as Humza Yousaf and Sarwar himself, they both seem to cry about lack of representation when they are non-white leaders of some of the largest political parties, in fact there if you look at the pure numbers there is a under-representation of white political leaders in Scottish poltics since out of all of the 6 parties in the Scottish parliament 16.7 % of them are led by non-whites compared to the only 5 % of non-white people in scotland.
Just imagine this scenario if a white scottish man went to Japan and said that the country was too Asian or went to Nigeria and said that the country was too black. You’d be rightfully called out for racism and butchered, so why is it any different when Sarwar complains that Scotland is too white ?
Now I know that Reform are going to probably be bad news for many minorities and marginalised groups…
However I think it is an equally bad look when a politician makes a rousing, combative speech where the ‘GOTCHA’ punchline to every line is “WHITE!”.
Honestly if you use the word “White” in a speech, but you couldn’t change it to “Black” without being jailed for hate speech then you are being racist (against white people).
So complaining about sectors being majority white isn’t racist but Farage’s speech is somehow considered to be a dogmatic whistle for the far right?
I would ask for someone to make it make sense, but i imagine the rhetoric in response will be something along the lines of “something something bigot, something something nazi, etc”
If Farage or any other white man gave the exact same speech as both the previous Scottish first minister and Anas did but about black people, it would absolutely 100% be called racist dog whistling and rightly so
Edit: I realised this isn’t Humza in the clip
Vote Reform 👍
I was watching scottish politics tonight and it’s just embarrassing I’m english and support reform. They are saying nigel doesn’t care about Scotland but do the other political leaders care about Scotland?
Scotland is in denial about its issues with race. Earlier in this thread, both Anas Sarwar and Humza Yousaf’s observations based on being second generation Pakistanis in Scotland have been dismissed as racism against white people because Sarwar and Yousaf criticised how many white people are in key establishment positions in a 95% white country.
I think they’re dismissed as racism because people don’t want to come to terms with the reality and they don’t want to hear the lived experience of people who have defied odds, suffered horrible racism and made their way up to become two of Scotland’s most well-known politicians. It means they have to confront their own unconscious bias: that brown dudes shouldn’t be the leaders of majority white countries.
It’s not the same thing, but it’s a similar feeling to being a woman and seeing how many senior positions/key establishment positions are filled with men. And I’m supposed to just accept the argument that they might have been the best people for the job. Well, no. When it comes to making laws and decisions that affect women, there needs to be women’s voices coming through and that’s why women’s representation matters. When it comes to making laws and decisions that affect people from ethnic minorities, then should their voices and experiences not matter because they only make up 5% of society? What if we said the same thing about disabled people? We’re having a discussion about assisted dying going through parliament at the moment and two of the strongest voices in that debate are Pam Duncan-Glancy and Jeremy Balfour – two MSPs with disabilities.
I suppose my point is that it’s a bit of a stretch to say Yousaf and Sarwar are being racist to white people in a majority white country, where every person in a powerful position is white.
Sarwar is the racist one, not Farage.
I love seeing in the sub how pro immigration etc everyone is, when I recently visited Edinburgh it was the whitest major city I have ever been to in the UK. It was weird that I found it odd how many white people there were. You claim to love immigration because you dont have to deal with it 😂
Putting aside your hate for Farage, and purely going off this ad alone, I see no issue with what he is saying. I also believe in an equal meritocratic society. That’s not even remotely divisive or far right. If you’re offended by this it’s because you’re doing your utmost to be.
Farage speaks on behalf of Britain, sarwar and swinney literally create division and make out it’s a crime and unjust to be white. Farage is not far right, he’s only far right to the people that are that far left they don’t know where the centre is
