teddybear4life1690 44 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 And lemmon complained that 2 people reported him for swearing and all the papers are backing him I wonder if they would back this good cause or as i suspect would find it as a non concern.

Jimbo. 952 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Absolutely disgusting, but not at all surprising. Can you imagine the outcry if the an organisation telling the story of celtic's Irish immigrant story was banned?! Even if there was no charity involved.The hypocrisy stinks in this fkn horrible country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,205 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Sent to STV, doubt they will do anything with it, amkes them aware nonetheless;--Would it be possible for you to have a look at the article http://www.rangersmedia.co.uk/ .This relates to the refusal from the West End Festival to a allocate stall to The Founders Trail citing “They had received two phone calls and two emails”.I find it appalling that a charitable organisation, with clearly no affiliation to any bigoted organisation should be refused a stall on the basis of 2 phones calls and 2 emails. Those standing to lose out are ultimately sick children and injured veterans.Given the present obsession with all things bigoted in Scottish society; I think this story is a microcosm of what our society in general has become, where the views of one or two people are now negatively affecting the lives of many more, now including sick children. I abhor bigotry or racism in any form; is this itself an example of pandering to bigots? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a charitable organisation is being deemed sectarian purely by association with the club. IE - Rangers ARE bigotted, you ARE associated with Rangers, you ARE, therefore bigotted. This accepts Rangers as being a bigotted organisation UNLESS they have specific examples of the founders trail being bigotted in any way.*shouldn't have used the word "sectarian" there but you get the gist.

AljayBoy 2,292 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 To whom it may concern,I'm writing to convey my shock and sadness at the response to the stall request by The Founder's Trail organisation.To refuse this request on the basis of, and I'm paraphrasing here, "The Gibson Street festival... shouldn't be aligning itself with a bigoted organisation'' is beyond belief.Do you have evidence of The Founder's Trail promoting bigoted beliefs and/or ideologies? If so did you pass this on to the authorities?Or is it as i believe you had a handful of 'complaints' and rather than disagree with them, you bowed to their demands, hoping it wouldn't be picked up?Absolutely shocking behavior.Yours disgusted,AljayBoy's real name.
