The act is a farce, Ally and JK Rowling highlighting that. The hate on both sides of the Glasgow derby will never end.

Those pesky normally passive women started giving it tight to the SNP and refusing to buckle/wheesht etc how very dare they Even Ally McCoist agrees with me.... quote.. Football pundit Ally McCoist has also given his support to JK Rowling, calling the legislation "madness". Speaking on TalkSport, external radio, he said he, along with thousands of football fans, will flout the rules during this weekend's Old Firm match between Rangers and Celtic. The ex-Rangers player said: "I can guarantee you, next Sunday at Ibrox, I, along with 48,000 will be committing a breach of that hate bill in the particular Rangers Celtic game we are all going to."

Bazzas right boot Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Racists hate civilian rights laws. Sexists hate equality laws. Bigots will defy any law that infringes their ability to be a bigot. Over lapping may occur. Their defence is always free speech. We all know the type. Only a horrible ******* would be against any legislation that is against folk being horrible *******s. Any normal human welcomes or at least accepts most laws and its benefits to either a particular group or society as a whole. Politically irony isn't lost either, was it a tory that tried to get the term tory banned quite recently or taken offence to it, and wanted the term " white privilege" classified as a terrorist act? The only folk against this are folk that want to be free to carry out bigoted and sectarian hate, which for me is a good reason for it to go through. Let their gammon heads explode.

And the losers at the end get to go home and terrorise their wife's and children and the there are no police to help them. All they are showing is that they don't understand it. The Act doesn't criminalise free speech in any way. It does take action to help prevent the spread of hatred against specific groups. In a world poisoned by social media in particular, that seems a good thing. On the face of it, I believe Ally's determination to sing about his delight in being "up to the knees in Fenian blood" could see him fall foul of the law, though he's very unlikely to be arrested. Also, I think it would be hard for the police to establish that JK Rowling was acting against the law if all she was doing was insisting that a trans woman is a man. However, if she was saying that she hated trans women because of who they are and was encouraging others to do the same then she might be on shaky ground.

PortyBeach Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 2 hours ago, 1953 said: I can't see how this new law is in anyway enforceable at a football match. It will be hate, sectairenism and abuse as normal next week. Some of our lot won't be any different the next time we play hibs or the OF. The issue around how enforceable the new law is reasonable grounds for debate, in my view. McCoist has - at best - been clumsy in expressing a view on whether, or to what extent, this is enforceable. At worst, he’s openly admitting he’ll be up to his knees giving it Fenian this, Fenian that. Not a good look. Nevertheless, I’d say it was an accurate reflection of the normal Ibrox hate-fest experience… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 1 hour ago, Bazzas right boot said: Is there tho? Is it just not all horrible behaviour? Better watch, speccy ******* is borderline discrimination if the person is registered disabled ( ie blind)! The question is, why do folk want to hurl abuse at others? What kind of folk do this, especially adults? Why do folk want no law that stops folk being horrible *****? I've always wondered how a public vote would go to reverse protections for woman and race, I bet it would be close - free speech! Unfortunately, arseholes needs laws to at least make them think and take some responsibility for their hate. Ofc, the law won't be enforced 100%, no law is, how many folk speed in a car v how many are charged? It's the extreme end that gets caught, and it's there to keep folk in check with the leverage to punish the extreme offenders if required. The purpose of this isn't to arrest everyone at a football stadium, in the same way a 20/30 mph limit isn't designed to arrest everyone that goes over it. It's to change mindsets, attitudes and give power to take action if required, usually on the more extreme end. It's a start, and no idea why folk would be against it unless they are horrible, bigoted humans themselves that want to continue their religious, horrible shite. Tbh, imo That's like a peodo being against the age of consent being 16, just because it stops them doing what they want. I agree with this post. Some very good points imo.
