Ibrox Remembrance Day Events To Be Stopped


Recommended Posts

Well, those who received the complaints know too ... and we probably too.

 

BTW, and I said it yesterday too, the use of certain vocabulary has become rather indiscriminate in recent times. "Nazi" & "Republic" don't run together and IMHO, people should stop comparing modern day Scotland to anything Nazi- (or of late North Korean-) like. For they apparently have no clue at all.

 

chase yourself. thats about 3 or 4 digs at me you have had this weekend without saying it directly to me. man up. thought i was on ignore anyway, yet you still manage to get upset by my posts! :facepalm:

then we see the actual letter of complaint and the words republic of scotland become ever so relevant! :( it has rhepublicanism written all over it.

 

cheers stb.

 

why do tims have such an obsession with bringing everything back to sectarianism and bigotry, do they think their complaints will be taken more seriously? sadly that seems to be the way in this little poisonous cesspit we call scotland!

Well no better example of petty disgusting whataboutery and mopery comes from the pages of the blog that he writes for and backs and that took over from the bigoted biased and disgraced Rangers tax case and from what I can see trying to outdo it.

 

The following is a letter that was posted on said site. From a mr â??John Clarkeâ?

Forgive me, at this late stage, but Iâ??ve just discovered that I can cut and paste from my original microsoft word draft. ( I had been faffing about trying to scan and copy and paste, unsuccessfully)

 

 

 

This is my letter to GOC Scotland.

 

 

 

â??

 

Major-General N Eeles,

 

General Officer Commanding Scotland,

 

Edinburgh Castle,EH1 2NG.

 

 

 

Dear General Eeles,

 

 

 

You will, I imagine, share my dismay that Army, Navy and Royal Marines service personnel were participants in a travesty of a â??Remembranceâ?? parade at Ibrox Park, Glasgow, during half-time in a football match being played between The Rangers FC and Alloa Athletic last week-end.

 

 

 

Whatever the original intention may have been, the occasion was allowed to degenerate into what I can only describe as a show of sectarian support- by the military personnel involved- for one particular section of Scottish society and one particular football club.

 

 

 

It was in no way respectful of the men and women ( among whom I include my own father) who suffered death or injury in the second World War, but was an absolutely undisciplined display of sectarian bias by the army unit(s) involved, who, I believe had balloted to be present because of their personal support for the aims and ideology of The Rangers FC.

 

 

 

In my view, the officer who authorised the use of tax-payersâ?? money for such a shameful partisan display, and the senior officer present on the day ( if indeed, any officer was present) should be asked to apologise to the people of Scotland for being so crassly insensitive to the feelings of many like me, who distance themselves from the poisonous ideology behind Orangeism and who do not wish their support for the Armed Forces of this country to be predicated on a false assumption that Orangeism equates to patriotism.

 

 

 

I am copying this letter to Rear Admiral Hockley (Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland) and to Major-General Davis, CBE RM (Commandant General Royal Marines)

 

 

 

Yours sincerely,

The reply came back

 

â??The General Officer Commanding Scotland has now had the opportunity to review the events that took place at Ibrox Park with the other Service heads in Scotland. They share your view that the format of the half time event and the conduct of those taking part in it was inappropriate for Remembrance Weekend, and will take steps to ensure that such events are conducted with appropriate solemnity in the future. They believe that the minuteâ??s silence before the match was the correct way to mark the occasion and Army commenders will be directed to restrict future Remembrance events to this type of activity in the future. The focus of Remembrance activities must be on the fallen, not on those who are serving in the Armed Forces today

 

Now you can make of this as you will. But it appears to me the M.O.D are agreeing with this sad individual that..

 

who distance themselves from the poisonous ideology behind Orangeism and who do not wish their support for the Armed Forces of this country to be predicated on a false assumption that Orangeism equates to patriotism.

 

If this is true then I think the Orange Order in Scotland and Rangers deserve an apology from the ministry of defence!

 

Also it comes as no surprise that this story surfaced in the Daily Record or should that be the Daily rebel as the Journalist David Leggat has proved their ever increasing links to Celtic football Club.

 

LISTEN RANGERS FANS!!!

 

Its simple we are coming together in one unified voice as the Boycott of Dundee United proves. If we as one donâ??t patronise Rangers hating organs like the Daily Rebel et al they will hear our voice when it hits them in the pocket.

 

If you buy or contribute to Rangers Haters you are effectively buying your abuser the stick to hit you over the head with!

That's just a joke, can someone tell me just WTF was sectarian or Orange about the remembrance celebrations.

 

Don't know what's more scary that there are people in this country who would write that or that there are people in this country who would listen to them.

I for one would ask said military people about their opinion on the constant airing of unlawful anti-British and pro-terrorist sentiment at the Scumhut and any ground the Hooped Horrors visit. IMHO, you can only fight fire with fire here and as long as the Scum keep this going - and very blatant indeed - it should be fought.

Class? It was special.

 

We'll have to disagree on that one STB, the troops were running all over the pitch at half time.

 

I've no problem with that on other days and in no way does it warrant the language used in the letter posted elsewhere in this thread, but it lacked the respectful dignity I expect from a Remembrance event.

 

The card display and the artillery piece marking the minute's scilence were special, but not the rest of it.

Not really our fault that bit, the troops were there for us to thank them. Maybe the Army should be asking the guys in charge of the men what went wrong. Instead of backing up the claims of a republican scumbag that it was some sort of orange walk.
