nachothelegend 1,932 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 We are where we are because we the Silent Majority have allowed this to Happen .We allowed this SNP Administration to Steam role to Power, and look what we have.This is all our own Faults coupled that with the Fact that some of us Don't have any Interest in Politics or Social Aspects in the Community, then this is the Bi product of the Apathy. One way to Change this is to Voice your Disdain, and then use the Vote to oust them.Please ,I don't want to hear the Socialists come on, and ask who shall we Vote for .You now know who not to Vote for. Use your Loaf and think about it.We can change this ,only if we are active enough.And that means Challenging them with their Lies and Falsification of Story's in the Mhedia.Well done to the guys who Challenged this Story of Lies.

donrfc737 30 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 The first convictions under this legislation were guys from Edinburgh on the Ayr - Glasgow train, so not Rangers fans as they were Hibees.Glasgow Sheriff Court First To Convict Under New Football Offensive Behaviour LegislationMar 14 2012 By Joe McGuireTWO men arrested on a train heading to Glasgow Central Station have become the first culprits to be convicted under new offensive behaviour legislation.Glasgow Sheriff Court handed out penalties under the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012, which came into force at the start of March.The pair – Andrew Whitson, 28, and Paul Swan, 39 – were arrested by British Transport Police on Saturday for “chanting and singing songs of a racially derogative nature”.They were returning from the Ayr v Hibs Scottish Cup tie at Somerset Park when they were caught by officers on the 6.13pm train from Ayr to Glasgow Central.Whitson, from Longniddry, and Swan, from Tranent, both East Lothian, pled guilty when they appeared from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.British Transport Police said Whitson was fined £180 and given a one-year football banning order. Swan also had a one-year football banning order imposed and was fined £200.Chief Superintendent Ellie Bird said: “These convictions and sentences send out a clear message that this sort of behaviour and criminality has no place in society.”The act is designed to give police and prosecutors additional powers to crack down on sectarian songs and abuse at and around football matches, and threats posted on the internet or through the mail.It creates two new offences, which carry a penalty of a maximum five years in prison and an unlimited fine.The first targets “hateful, threatening or offensive behaviour” expressed at and around football matches which is likely to cause public disorder.The second offence relates to the communication of threats of serious harm which are intended to stir up religious hatred, whether sent by post or posted on the internet.http://www.theglaswegian.co.uk/glasgow-news/news/2012/03/14/glasgow-sheriff-court-first-to-convict-under-new-football-offensive-behaviour-legislation-102692-23787819/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian 4,281 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The saga continues. Think I will email him about the Admins Bill headline too.From: allan.rennie@trinitymirror.comDate: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:11:09 +0100Subject: Re: RE:To:Thanks. I didn't realise you were referring to online headline which does not carry the subdeck referring to Old Firm Game.I've asked for that online heading to be changed.In the copy it clearly states that he was the first fan at an Old Firm match.I'm out the office this morning but I seem to remember that we could not determine whether the rest were Old Firm fans. I'll check that for you.AllanSent from my iPhone Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
