    I’m going to retweet the shite out of this for every windbag who rushed to condemn the officers under attack. You couldn’t walk a yard never mind a mile in their shoes. And if you’re one of the ACAB mob just unfollow now and save me blocking.

    This long winded vacuous speech sums up her time in office. Few achievements lots of hot air. Self congratulatory guff.

    Are this @CelticFC side better than Brendan Rodgers team? I’d say yes.

    I’ve no view on Neil Lennon’s departure. That’s a football decision. But I have a view on his treatment in Scotland. Vile anti catholic anti Irish bigotry marked much of it. Those who washed their hands of it show us what kind of country we were and are capable of being.

    In George sq tonight we see what happens after decades where the great and the good in Scotland were openly complicit in allowing a ‘what school did you go to’ culture to operate. Once it was just the catholics....now they think everyone is fair game.

    There’s your actual Toxic masculinity right there. We’ve got a cohort of absolute Nancy boys in power, masquerading as men. They’d send your sons to die in wars without a murmur, while weeping into their soy lattes at misgendered language. Despicable cowardly cretins.

    Oh and by the way if you upset them they still have ways of making sure you don’t pick up a microphone again with their connections. Their reach is long as is their memory and patience. If you think the morons on the ground are the only ones responsible think again.

    I heard the old line ‘soon there’ll be no Protestants at all ‘ sung by a small section of Celtic support last night. they need to knock that right on the head. One thing which always marked the club out was it’s openness to all and a significant number of non catholic supporters

    If we showed as much passion about ending hunger and homelessness as we’re showing in raging about a breakaway league we’d be a better place

    I’m sitting outside the Foodbank waiting to pick up my wife who volunteers. It’s very busy. This isn’t a party political point. All the parties should hang their heads that in a devolved Scotland we’re still feeding folk this way. It’s a disgrace.

    If tonight I’ve brought a little happiness into the lives of those who lost their football club’s history then my work is done 😇
