This Writer has hardly followed the leadership campaign as I found it extremely dull in comparison with everything else that has been going on.
However, I did consider the occasion worth marking with an attempt at satire (referring to his rival, Ms Forbes):

Yousuf, is that a type of fish? 😁
If independence desire is extremism, then almost half the population of Scotland are extremists. Would you have them all locked up under the new UK (Tory) laws, then.
It was a satirical joke, Joan.
