Humzah Yousaf has today, in order to keep his name in the headlines, announced that he and his family may have to leave Scotland due to Islamophobia. After his now famous "White" rant it now seems odd to claim to be be as Scottish as it comes, despite wearing a Punjab Tartan tie I don't really see that.
If that is the case we mustn't stand in his way.

Humza Yousaf has said he may be forced to leave the UK because of far-Right riots.
The former Scottish first minister said the last week has been "utterly horrendous" as violent disorder has erupted in British towns and cities.
Mr Yousaf, who was the first Muslim leader of a Western democracy, told The News Agents podcast: "It is a strange feeling when your very sense of belonging is questioned.
"Look, I'm about as Scottish as they come. Born in Scotland, raised in Scotland, educated in Scotland, just welcomed my third child here in Scotland, was the leader of the Scottish Government for just over a year, leader of the Scottish National Party. You cut me open, I'm as about as Scottish as you come.
"But the truth of the matter is, I don't know whether the future for me and my wife and my three children is going to be here in Scotland or the United Kingdom, or indeed in Europe and the West, because I have for some time really worried about the rise of Islamophobia.
