Well we can't say we are for everyone when we are not.  Everyone means, well................everyone.  "Everyone" does not have caveats.

 

As I said, obtuse twaddle. Most people don’t need things broken down in to little chunks like a three year old’s turkey dinosaurs before they can digest it. ?

The words "you are not welcome" has probably appeared 100 times on this thread.  How can we say we are for "everyone"?

There’s a massive difference between making people feel unwelcome based on the colour of their skin, their religion or the country the hail from, and telling folk who behave in that manner that they are the ones who are not welcome. Being a bigoted jakey fud is not a race or religion.

Do people of colour etc feel unwelcome? I just don't see it.  I see quite a lot of poc at Tynie and it is great.  I find the need to do this all 'very Celtic'.  I just don't think poc etc are desperate to go to tynie but are scared to as don't feel welcome.  It is absurd.

This thread is proof that Hearts are not for "for everyone".  

 

A bit like when the Scottish Nationalists shout about how 'inclusive' they are but tell anyone who is a proud Brit to GTF.

 

 

As do British Nationalists, have you heard them talk about Brexit?

No, I don't listen to them much.  I imagine they don't advertise themselves as 'inclusive' though.

I don't want that Sandy Hook denier-supporting con-man career criminal or his drunken Nazi saluting cronies and his hooligan reputation anywhere near Edinburgh let alone Tynecastle.

 

If that makes us "uninclusive" then not a **** is given by me :) .

Do you not think the sectarian songs might put off a certain demographic?

 

The association with TR, same question?

I genuinely can't remember the last time I heard a sectarian/racist song at Tynie.

 

Are we really thinking 5 Stone Island clad TR followers out of 20,000 are going to put off an entire sect/race/creed etc?

Has Tommy Robinson been made to feel unwelcome whilst “at Tynecastle”? 

 

Whilst we have folk who sing that Pakistanis and Jewish people are as welcome in Edinburgh as AIDS, black players being called coons and songs about bathing in the blood of Catholics, then you will have an image that will be off-putting for some. 

 

Now before you say that these songs and chants (two of them anyway) are not sung or chanted at Tynie, I know. They are however part of the repertoire of these particular supporters, as was seen by their shared social media content. Also it doesn’t take long to pick up on it if you venture in to certain places at certain times close to the ground. Is it off-putting? Yes, it is for some. I had to think twice before taking my Anglo-Indian brother in law along to a derby a few years ago. I needn’t have bothered as he has a pretty thick skin and he does a bit of boxing, but I wasn’t particularly keen on the awkwardness of being somewhere with him when certain songs or chants were indulged in. 

 

My best mate is a Catholic, and certainly no shrinking violet, and whenever I bring him along to a game there is the possibility of him getting pissed off with the Fenian blood shite and kicking off. Again I’d be less worried for him than the folk who started up the chant, but that’s not the point. The point is, we should not be trying to put people of coming to games because they could be made to feel singled out and unwelcome based on their religion or race.

 

I will start taking my daughter to games pretty soon, but not quite yet. She is mixed race and I really do t want her to be made to feel unwelcome. I want her to enjoy going like I did when I started going with my Dad in the eighties.

 

Robinson and his hanger ons want to exclude people based on bigotry, and for that reason, they can go **** themselves. They are not entitled to the same acceptance as those they try and single out.

Why do the left always mollycoddle other races/genders etc and treat them like little babies, it is so patronising.

You are a British Nationalist, can’t you hear yourself talk? If you haven’t heard a sectarian song at Tynie recently you must be deaf.

There is a world of difference than wanting to put Britian first (which I do) and chasing out anyone that doesn't look like you out of the country. Most people on the planet are nationalists.

Try human beings aligning themselves with a minority to give them a sense of inclusion rather than alienation or hatred?

Fantastic post, to hope your daughter grows up with the memories that most of us have of going to games with our parents.

Putting Britain First usually means chasing others out the country, most racists don’t realise they are.

Indeed. Or try human beings merely standing up for those who still experience discrimination. Of course, if someone is not in a minority who is discriminated against, then they probably don't experience that discrimination themselves and thus feel that everything is just hunky dory.

That is not speaking on their bahalf, this is evidenced in elections etc.  Most political figures in history have also been nationalists.

What isn't common sense is continually projecting the values of today's society on to them.

At a time when anti Catholic sentiment was rife it's entirely possible at least one member of the battalion had those views.

Similarly it's unlikely many were Scottish Nationalists.

Who's doing that? 100 years ago anti-Catholic sentiment was rife but mainly on the west coast rather than the east. Common decency existed 100 years ago in same form as it does today. The World was a lot less cosmopolitan then, but xenophobia was due to ignorance rather than prejudice.

It may well have been ignorance but it existed. To suggest it wouldn't surface at all in that Battallion is wishful thinking. 

I've read posts on here describing them as fighting for Scotland, which is see any nonsense.

That’s interesting. Why is it nonsense? My grandfather fought in the Second World War, and he used to tell me about his time there. He always said he was fighting for his family and home in Scotland. He felt more Scottish than British.
