Utter, utter pish!

 

Dear JB

 

 

 

Thank you for your recent correspondence by email regarding your concerns about the biased approach that is taken by the authorities in Scotland in relation to the implementation of the new anti-sectarianism legislation.

 

 

 

I share your concern about the unbalanced and unequal treatment that is accorded to various individuals that have breached this legislation. In particular, you have highlighted the case of Joe Oâ??Rourke who made a very public slur on Twitter. Despite the seriousness of his comments, Mr Oâ??Rourke has only been issued with a warning by the Police regarding his future use of social media sites. This stands in contrast to the actions taken by the Police and others in relation to supporters of Glasgow Rangers FC.

 

 

 

I will certainly join with my Parliamentary colleagues in pressing the Scottish authorities to be more even handed and balanced in their approach to matters relating to sectarianism. It is essential that the Scottish Government, Police and courts act with impartiality and ensure that the legislation is applied evenly across the board.

 

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with me on this important issue. It is very much appreciated.

 

 

 

With kind regards,

 

 

 

Yours sincerely
