'Provo Princess' teacher who glorifies IRA...


Recommended Posts

She's one ugly wee lassie is sturgeon her twin??..

 

There's an uncanny resemblance isn't there?

The dhims have been joining in the SNPee in their thousands so probably no surprise to see her and Mrs Murrell(aka Ms Sturgeon)pictured together.

She's probably keen to see Shcottland get free-dumb but how would it fare with its new currency? Her beloved ROI gets big, big Euro handouts from the EU but an independent Schottland wouldn't get that. Perhaps Mrs Murrell told her. They seem to get on well don't they? Quelle Surprise.

IRA supporting primary teacher pleads guilty to posting sectarian rants on social media

 

 

A teacher who glorified IRA terrorists and posted bigoted insults on social media has been left with her career in ruins.

 

Anne-Marie Clements, 25, a primary seven teacher at St Mark’s Primary in Barrhead , launched a string of offensive posts on her Twitter account where she praised the actions of the Provisional IRA and made hate-filled comments about protestants.

 

Paisley Sheriff Court hard that Clements, posting under her account ‘x annemarie,’ last 18 November wrote: “So called refugees...think there’s a bigger issue. What’s being done about the protestants?”

 

In another rant on November 24 Clements included a picture of a masked IRA gun man holding a rifle with the caption: “Every day is a RA day.”

While on November 26, the teacher wrote: “C’mon Celtic! This is the one. Get into these Sons of William Orange B**tards.” She also wrote: “Roaming in the gloaming’ with Ronnie’s F**ians.”

 

Fiscal Depute John Penman told the court that Clements, of Buller Crescent in Blantyre, was pleading guilty to offences of posting grossly offensive and sectarian remarks on social media, which took place at her home address, in Perth, and while she was at St Mark’s Primary in Barrhead.

 

The teacher had 3,000 followers and was followed by 2,500 other people when she made the posts, which were then re-tweeted or forwarded by other Twitter users.

 

Mr Penman said: “A witness Mr Jones was at home on his computer when he came across material which he found extremely offensive and was of a sectarian nature.

 

“When he looked at the history of the account he established the account holder was employed as a teacher at St Mark’s Primary in Barrhead.”

 

The prosecutor told how the witness took screen shots of Clements’ hateful Twitter posts, and saved these as attachments, which were forwarded to education bosses at the teacher’s work, East Renfrewshire Council , along with an email explaining their sectarian nature.

 

School bosses hauled Clements in for a meeting about her posting sectarian comments on social media, which she brazenly denied.

 

Mr Penman added: “The accused initially denied any knowledge. When pressed on the matter she said, ‘I have never put any comments about the IRA.’

 

“Her superiors were upset about this. They asked to bring up her account on the computer. The accused brought up her account and began deleting posts in front of the witnesses. She was told to stop doing it.”

 

She subsequently attended a disciplinary interview where she was formally suspended from her teaching duties and the offences were reported to police.

 

The court was told when Clements attended her interview with police she remained silent and gave no comment throughout the process. She was told she was being reported to the procurator fiscal.

 

Her defence agent Mr Millar told the court his client’s career was finished as she had lost her job, she would be removed from the register by the General Teaching Council following her conviction, and her professional life was over barely after it had started.

 

He said the impact of the Twitter comments had been “catastrophic” on the life of “an otherwise excellent teacher, but whose actions had destroyed that career.”

 

He urged leniency for her, and added that as a first offender, she was currently unemployed, with no real career prospects. He also provided the court with many character references praising her abilities as a young teacher.

 

Sentencing her, Sheriff Susan Sinclair said: “The comments which were posted were wholly offensive, completely unacceptable and wholly inappropriate.

 

“It has brought home to you the catastrophic effect it has had on your career and employment.”

 

But she added she had to balance the interests of justice with that of the public interest and decided to fine Clements £600, reduced from £900, because of her early plea of guilty before trial.
