Humza Yousaf and his wife Nadia El-Nakla have dropped their discrimination case against an Dundee nursery.
Yousaf sought £30,000 in damages after he said the nursery discriminated against his child over its race when the child did not get a place.
Instead of talking to the nursery, which is run by a family of Asian descent, Yousaf set up a sting operation getting a friend with a white-sounding name to try to get a child a place in the nursery. This child was offered a place.
A investigation by the Care Commission found that there was no discrimination, but a simple problem with communication that could have been easily sorted without legal action.
Yousaf has yet again shown himself to be a bungler who appears to have been more motivated by a desperate attempt to show racial discrimination and obtain £30,000 in compensation than concern over his child's nursery place.
You also must ask why an MSP who represents a Glasgow ward lives 90 miles away from the people he is supposed to represent.
