Pasquale for King Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 25 minutes ago, McGlynn The Money said: Can't help feeling that some of the folk who are outraged about this are the same people who condoned or even took part in disrupting the minute's silence for the Pope. According to them it was a protest so why can't people protest in the same way about Prince Philip. As a Catholic I wasn't in favour of the minute's silence for the Pope and felt it was a trap for our club. Sadly, some of the idiots in our support walked right into it. I'm not a fan of the Royals or Prince Philip so not that keen on a minute's silence for him either but can't see why people can't just observe the silence and keep their thoughts to themselves. I realised it was a trap and didn’t boo but as I’m not keen on religion in general, the Pope or the Queen I will keep my criticism of these dirty people to the fact that , like their bigoted pals, they’ve congregated illegally once again without police Scotland taking any action. We have a right to protest, as long as we’re socially distanced of course, and if folk want to then fair enough. I remember a Hearts fan being thrown out for shouting Vive la Republic during the minutes silence for the Queen mother, well out of order in a free society.

I wonder if he was any more or less racist than anyone else born in 1921. The ‘granny saying racist things’ is a bit of a trope, isn’t it? Doesn’t excuse it, obviously, but I don’t think he was the only racist nonagenarian. (If there was a minute’s silence - or more likely these days, applause - for someone who I thought didn’t deserve it I would remain silent but seated) Edited April 11, 2021 by FWJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wall to wall, incessant, excruciating media coverage probably to blame for a lot of that though. I'm sure he's looking up at them and having a right good laugh, he loved a laugh did our Duke.

I don't know, why was there a minutes silence for a dead Pope at a Scottish cup semi final? Why do Celtic fans sing songs about the Pope. Yes, the DOE said some stuff that should be construed as racist, but most people have a racist elderly relative in the UK. I find the over the top coverage of his death nauseating and the only reason I can see for keeping the royal family is money to the treasury. On the other hand I'm not going to dance on his grave and abuse a "dead old man" on line, as Celtic fans do.

As I've already said on this thread I thought the minute's silence for the Pope was a terrible idea. It was for Pope John Paul the Second though, not Pope Benedict. He's still very much alive as far as I know. I'm not dancing on his grave and while I don't agree with a minute's silence for him I would have observed it if there was one for him at a game I was at.

Whilst I agree that the “only following orders” routine has been trotted out by many an old soldier over the years, British included, to think that people had much of a choice of whether to do as they were told in an environment like Nazi Germany is, in my opinion, not realistic. Not many people would have had sufficient desire to put their entire families at risk, rather than toe the party line. We can have no real idea what it is like to live in a society where people are watching and listening to you just going about your daily business, ready to lock you up or worse. To see your family suffer because of your actions, brave though they may have been, would be something that would be with you all your life. Modern day freedoms are sometimes taken for granted by those who enjoy them. Even today, millions of people are living under regimes who completely control their people.
