Times Journo - Rangers Union Flag "Stupidity"

Read it at work today and was dumfounded. Absolute cretin of a man.

This truly shows one of either at best a shit stirring agenda or at worst plain racial and sectarian agitation of such newspapers. They dubiously complain about Rangers singing using ambiguously interpreted words and when that stops they have the bare faced cheek to complain about flying the national flag of the team's country - which also comprises the team's colours.

 

It is no wonder it is so hard to stop people singing the real songs that are out of order - they are damned if they do, damned if they don't and so you'd expect them to do what they damn well like.

 

Looking at this objectively, it comes accross as incitement to hatred against British Nationals - unbelievable from what is supposed to be a British National Newspaper. At best it's the REAL PC gone mad liberalism where we can't express our own nationality in our own country for fear of offending minorities. It's the kind of stuff which makes moderate people start to listen to the likes of the BNP as they start to make sense against this poisonous drivel.

 

That's not the most likely scenario for Rangers fans - they'll just feel more justified in denouncing the minorities who seek to make them second class citizens in their own country. This will be exacerbated when they are inundated with immense television footage and press photography of millions of union flags on Friday. Just where do Rangers fans really stand and why are they singled out for victimisation by the media, football authorities as well as government?

 

Even the arguments given by the Times are weak and purile - "other teams don't fly the national flag". How is that relevant, aren't all clubs different? There is the fact that the Union flag is the perfect colours for Rangers and is a quite aesthetic flag - Rangers fans fly the "French flag" for the same reason so why not your own national flag? However, it makes more sense when your bitter rivals are constantly parading a foreign flag with an anti-British agenda as well as supporting terrorist attacks against your country. Is it no wonder that decent people would start to stand up and be counted against such sordid provocation and insult?

 

There is nothing that makes people stand and unite in their nationality more as when they are under constant attack from an Axis of Evil.
