Sectrianism

[jebus197]

I approve of the new measures. If anything they don't go far enough.

[Leftfield]

The 'new measures' being that if you write something sectarian on an internet forum you'll be put away for up to five years, while people convicted of carrying a knife or attempted murderer could potentially get less?

What'll happen is a bunch of daft wee boys in keyboard warrior mode writing 'FTP', 'Orange bassas' etc will either be referred to the children's panel and/or locked up in a young offender's institute.

Salmond knows that sectarianism is the flavour of the month issue in Scotland. Pathetic political posturing and nothing more.

I f*ckin come from Glasgow mate. I grew up with this sh*t all around me. I've had friends stabbed and killed because of it. I support ANYTHING that works towards trying to make sectarianism a feature of the past.

i know what your saying jebus but i think its all a bit knee jerk tbh

and comparing someone sending a bomb or someone who murders people to someone singing a song is ridiculous

90 mins singing at a footie game doesnt mean youl kill or hate your neighbours does it?

and do you think plod will waltz into ibrox or parkhead and arrest 30 thousand people?

i think not

It's enough to make you throw your flute over the nearest wall !

and get 5 years up your jacksey for assault with a bigoted instrument?

I support it. Its a start. Plus, I don't hear any alternative solutions coming from any of the naysayers, either here or in the Tory Party.

I don't want to take my kids to a fitba game where there's hundreds (or thousands at Ibrox or Parkheid) singing songs of hate. Its got f-all to do with fitba for a start. If folk are so keen on religion or Irish politics then there's other avenues for it.
