Moved Forum just so the topic gets more traction.

More like a police state every year, rules that make everything more restricted for everyday life even down to rules for a bus taking you to the football.

Fucking hell. They stopped just shy of "Put your hand up for the toilet".

You won't be able to fart without someone knowing at this rate.

That’s a genuine embarrassment.

You would think there was some sort of violent crime wave of people getting killed by passengers on supporters buses or something.

Looking at section 4 of the link it seems like this is already the case in England and is voluntary!? It’s fucking madness. 
 

Everyone should be sending in a response to this

The way football fans are treated in this country is a disgrace.

“Sporting events”

Weird how it seems solely focussed on football . Do these rules apply to a day out at Murrayfield, the Scottish open or a cycle race at the velodrome ? 

[DietofWorms 2,063]

Fuck the government.

It’s a fucking nonsense, but a voluntary nonsense that has been in place in England for a few years already.

I would imagine there’s a few folk who run buses who have counterparts in England- their experiences would be very relevant when responding.

I'll take 1 fish and chips and 86 pints of Stella in a pub 10.01 miles away from Ibrox. 

In all seriousness, this comes on the same day Police Scotland are piloting a scheme where they don't investigate some thefts and other crimes:

I'm fucking glad I no longer live in that shithole of a country.

Fucking mad that isn't it? Steal, attack, vandalism etc, all sound if no one sees, cause we've no time to investigate.

But you dare go on bus to the football? We will vilify the fuck out of you.

Someone genuinely needs to bring this up in Parliament / ask Police Scotland chiefs.

They claim they don’t have the resources to investigate robberies etc… yet are happy to waste vast manpower resources stopping football buses for having a few beers and causing no harm to anyone (except their own liver!)

This sort of hypocrisy shouldn’t be allowed to go unanswered.

Would not normally post stuff from the SNP but the bald shouty one that leads the Westminster rabble came out and rubbished it completely. its mental it goes down 4 or 5 tiers in Scotland not just the SPL
