Two big derbies on TV today. One is full of sectarian bile, the other of normal football hate, division and, er, banter. In one, the visiting side walked up the road from their Tannadice Park ground to play the game, and walked back down afterwards with no trouble from the fans. In the other feeble attempt at football, both sets of fans displayed flags and sang songs of a sectarian nature, none of which belong in Scottish football.
One gathered vast news reports, much TV and radio time, and exaggerated false enthusiasm from the commentator Ian Crocker. The other, somewhat one-sided game, had real enthusiasm, some decent unbiased comment, and totally biased fans. A proper derby!
I doubt there was sectarian bias at any other game in Scotland this weekend, why do we allow this to continue at this one? Scottish football is well worth watching, it would be improved without this sectarian strain.
I notice the more desperate and ungodly members of the Conservative and Reform parties are making a bid to claim they represent 'Christian Britain.' They claim Britain (they never call it the UK) is a 'Christian Country,' and this ought to be protected. This is ungodly nonsense picked up from the 'White, Gun toting, Flag carrying, Non Church Attending' American, who just hates immigrants because he has been told to hate them. Americans, that is, USA citizens, need someone to hate. Now that Communism has died, and they are not bombing Arabs they need a new hate figure, so immigrants it is. This idea is now being tried in the UK, where some of the least likely to visit a church are spouting this drivel.
By 'Christian Country,' what they really mean is 'Islam is an enemy!' Thus giving you something to fear, while these lying politicians take from you all your rights, pensions, benefits, right to live, housing support, employment protection, and allow you to pay more tax while they take and take while avoiding tax by putting their money overseas.
Stupid people fall for this.
And another thing, as the Conservative Party organised all these hotels for immigrants, why was there no demonstrations at the time? Why have these right wing paymasters invented all these groups leading these protests? Where were they when the Tories were in power?
