Frankie 8,150 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We had an SNP MSP on the radio this morning complaining about sectarian singing at Ibrox on Saturday. Now that's pish of the highest order. Humza Yousaf MSP was his name and he's part of the Justice Committee. Also a Celtic supporter by his own admittance. He's suggested he wasn't intending to refer to Saturday's game and has apologies for any confusion. I'll say one thing for the guy, he's definitely approachable on Twitter etc and has been critical of his own club/fans formally. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) He probably has more idea why he's wearing that black tape that the average policeman has about his objectives in policing a football crowd. Sounds like you've finally crossed the line. What line? I'm a a Rangers fan and I'm a copper. I'll defend Rangers when I see fit and I'll do the same re the police. Nothing wrong with that! People on here and in the big bad world are blaming the police for this new Act that could be introduced. We don't implement the laws, we just enforce them.

We don't implement the laws, we just enforce them. Certain people high up in Strathclyde Police have been heavily, heavily involved in the campaign to create these new laws. They've worked closely with politicians from day one, especially agenda-driven idiots at Glasgow City Council. I can't remember names etc, but I'm sure 26th of foot could mention some interesting details, as could David Leggat and others. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some high up officers recommend ideas and maybe put ideas across themselves but they have no power as to whether they're passed or not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strathclyde has a population in excess of 2.5 million Gav. When high heed yins in Strathclyde Police make recommendations to the government, the government listen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's the MSP who vote to pass the laws. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Agreed. However, it's the MSP who vote to pass the laws. I assume you're familiar with the concept of lobbying in British politics? In fact, most western democracies! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
