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.
The former WBO super featherweight champ added that he’d “rather be lead by a Scotsman” and claimed: “That’s not racism.” Outraged social media users swiftly hit back at Arthur, with one writing: “Humza is Scottish. Enjoy your backlash racist.”
