ofb1988 61 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 WELL, they arnt really, yet but with things already out of hand in the mad PC world we live in i can see the following article being produced - Asda potatoe range draws complaints Supermarket chain Asda have attracted scrutiny from the Scottish government, after complaints about a particular kind of potato range were made by the Irish consul general. The issue has been raised with regard to a brand of potatoes called "Blue Belle" with Irish consul officials fearing it will ignite more famine chanting with Rangers fans singing a song about the Irish potato famine of the 1840s, which contains the lyrics: "The famine is over, why don't you go home?" A section of the Rangers support have indulged in this chant since last season; that they did it at Parkhead on August 31 prompted one Celtic fan to write to the Irish embassy in London. The Irish consul general in Edinburgh has subsequently raised the matter at her regular meeting with the Scottish government. The government has released a statement saying: "The Scottish government is totally committed to combating sectarianism and bigotry, which is why we have expanded on the work of the previous administration and are doing more. "We are working with the clubs themselves, as they are part of the solution to the problem." Rangers, in acknowledging they have a problem with the song, say they are awaiting police guidance on the matter. A club spokesperson said: "Following the recent Old Firm match, the club were made aware that a substantial number of complaints had been made regarding the singing of the chorus of a song known as The Famine Song by our supporters at this match. :craphead::craphead: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbria_blue 51 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I remember one time, in a Sainsburys store in West Belfast, a group of nationalists went round the fruit section removing union flag labels on the apples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
