Popular Post jintybear 8,536 Posted March 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2019 New #1 Rangers have hit out at the BBC after a contributor referenced the club during a domestic abuse segment. Scottish Women’s Aid chair Nicola Gilchrist appeared on Friday night’s edition of The Nine on BBC Scotland. She was invited on to speak about a new law due to come into effect in Scotland next month that will make controlling and coercive behaviour a criminal offence. Fiona Drouet – the mother of Aberdeen University student Emily Drouet, who killed herself in 2016 after being a victim of such abuse – was also a guest on the show. And after Mrs Drouet admitted she wanted people to educate themselves about the dangers of controlling and coercive behaviour, Ms Gilchrist agreed. She said: “This is what I think is so vital actually, is changing the shape of this. “Educating people that domestic abuse is not a black eye after the Rangers lose or something. That is not what we are talking about. “We are talking about what Fiona’s talking about here, that the shame and humiliation of living with this, that is going to, I think, shape the conversation in Scotland.” A Rangers spokesperson said: “The first thing to be stressed is that domestic abuse should be condemned at every opportunity. “Once again, however, the BBC provided a platform from which Rangers could be denigrated. “Even so, it was astounding to hear Nicola Gilchrist single out Rangers. Perhaps she would like to explain why, while discussing this awful form of abuse, she felt it necessary to reference a club which does more than any other to help ease and eradicate the myriad problems faced by people in our local and wider communities.’ A number of Rangers fans have been angered by the reference to the Ibrox club losing games in Gilchrist’s response. And many have demanded both she and the Beeb apologise for the remarks. A BBC Scotland spokesperson said: “We did an item on The Nine which was highlighting the important issue of domestic abuse and its tragic consequences.” SunSport has contacted Scottish Women’s Aid for comment. Last week Rangers fans protested against BBC Scotland’s coverage of the club outside its Pacific Quay HQ in Glasgow. They unleashed a banner blast which read: “Biased, bigoted, corrupt. DON’T FUND OUR HATERS. BBC, LICENCE TO LIE.” The organisations are embroiled in a long-term disagreement, relating to senior journalist Chris McLaughlin’s Ibrox ban. eejay the dj, Bears r us, Sparkle and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggesting this is what angered people is disingenuous at best, dishonest at worst. People are angered by the fact the woman referenced our club and domestic abuse, the way that's phrased makes it sound like people are annoyed she mentioned us losing football matches. The whole thing is fucking weird. Someone in her position surely knows that there's a real problem with domestic abuse in the aftermath of football matches, and quite probably of other sports too - be it from a fan or someone who's participating. That type of thing can fly under the radar. To suggest that the general perception of domestic abuse is that it's something which occurs "after X football team loses" is fucking ridiculous. Regardless of whether she'd mentioned our club or not, it's simply not how the general public perceives domestic violence.

Popular Post Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted March 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2019 This is simple. This bitch is just another in a long line of Rangers hating bastards and no doubt the reason why she was selected to be on the BBC in the first place. Off topic, but related, of course domestic abuse is abhorrent, but it isn't all one way fuckng traffic. As for controlling and coercive behaviour, another fucking sick joke played on the males of the species by the men haters in gainng power over men. The don't want equality, they want control and don't get more controlling and coercive than the fucking bitches of the species. They are looking to do exactly what they accuse males of. These emancipated bitches will be charging us for oxygen shortly and demanding dick transplants on the NHS. Oh wait a minute, them transgender fucks again.

It's pretty ironic that the woman that mentioned Rangers in such a casually negative way in the program in question had earlier complained about the drip, drip effect of psychological domestic violence. scottyscott1963, Thermopylae, VentyFour and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The women was bang out of order with her comments and needs to explain as well as apologise. She will have plenty of supporters looking for any ammunition so we need to make sure there is none. Well done to the bears that are questioning her on twitter. AljayBoy and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
