Carson's cat 744 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hopefully the SNP lose that electionIf he's a Celtic supporter, he's more likely to split the Labour vote than the SNP vote. Bit of a Hobson's choice, I'm afraid, in places like Govan. Not too many options if you don't like socialism or nationalism! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

familystandloyal 131 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It was their Church that asked for this stupid Law For us Protestants.Now they aren't getting it all their own way they want it stopped.THIS^^^^^^It was 'them' with their mock offendedness and claims of anti-oirish racism who caused Fat Eck to introduce this law.I assume it is now being used against them too now, and that is why they want it axed?Although tbh I have seen little evidence of any of their 'political NOT sectarian' ditties being replayed on national TV with a bouncing ball to help you follow the disgusting lyrics, I haven't seen any mhedia campaign to have the tim equivalent of TBB criminalised. Anyway, shouldn't current anti-terrorism laws cover most paedofc songs/chants anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about cutting of your nose to spite your face Do you honestly believe that if we vote for him, he wins and act is axed that we will be allowed to sing TBB again?We were getting hammered before the act came in so imho we aren't any worse off since its introduction, the only fans who can be worse off are fans of other teams who wanted the act introduced as a stick to hammer us with...so feck them all.He was probably one of the bheasts wanting Penny Arcade banned cos it wiz aboot killing a tim in an amoozement arcade, or complained that the bouncy was about jumoing on kaffliks heids.
