A former Scots boxer has been blasted for sending ‘racist’ tweets branding Humza Yousaf ‘as Scottish as England’. The vile messages were sent from Alex Arthur’s Twitter account on Tuesday - just hours after the Glasgow-born politician was voted the new leader of the SNP.
Arthur, 44, who previously stood as a candidate for Alex Salmond’s Alba Party in 2021, said he wants “to see my own people, Scottish people, running Scotland, controlling our affairs”. In another outburst, he added: “He’s in the ‘Scottish’ parliament complaining everyone of power in Scotland is white.
“You think he’s talking about rednecks in Louisiana? He’s talking about us. Running our own affairs. I don’t want foreign people running my country my ancestors bled for.”
