The Offensive Behaviour at Football & Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill

Hud the bus.

Isn’t this just the justice committee recommending it be repealed?

I still worry the SNP will continue to dig heels in and just end up making ‘changes’ to it and it will still exist in some form. Hopefully not of course.

 

Annabelle Ewing: “Singing songs about terrorism... is not acceptable in a modern Scotland."

 

S'awrite, there wasn't a fitba' match being played at the time.

 

Not sure mate. They don't have a majority now so they can't just dig their heels in can they? As long as every other msp is for a repeal then surely it's the end of days for the obaf.

 

Aye its only a recommendation although as the SNP are a minority Government they will likely repeal it.

 

The SNP is one of the most monolithic organisations around; there will be no dissenting voices on its side. We need almost all of the opposition MSPs to back the repeal.

 

If this is the case then they shouldn’t sing Flower of Scotland.

 

Well done to everyone who has taken the time to lobby and give support to this campaign.

A truly scandalous piece of legislation, and an episode which has seen the SNP act absolutely shamelessly.

I suppose you just need to scratch the surface sometimes.

 

Well worth a listen

SNP MSPs - each and every one of them - voted against rescission of the Act. Remember that when you are next at the ballot box.

 

Understood why they brought it in, but as usual been hijacked by the PC brigade, party songs are mostly harmless and once outside the ground dont mean anything, as we work/drink wi the same people we're vilifying on the Saturday. Politicians don't get it, but yes this could be a vote loser for me.

 

Watchin this on the news and they just said that easter road will be packing this weekend for its home tie with Celtic....

 

Noticed that as well. Good to see they've done their research

 

* James Dornan that's all.

 

Demonstrations, marches, meetings, email campaigns, banners and chanting at games... well done again to everyone who has played their part in this.

The individuals who make up the groups like FAC and the Celtic Trust deserve an enormous amount of admiration and gratitude. They’ve been absolutely brilliant.

 

Let the people sing.

* the SNP.

 

Quite right.

It’s scary that someone like him could occupy such a position of power and influence.

I think this episode has been a real eye-opener for many in terms of how the SNP aim to govern.
