aweebluesoandso 290 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Feck all do with religion, the lady was a big Rangers fan, reason enough for the bigots to take umbrage and go after her. If there is a problem it's these feckers taking their prejudices into the work place and targeting Rangers fans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The tragic thing is that if it was not said in humour they could have done nothing. There is evidence to support the claim. By the looks of it, she was stitched up by the usual “religious sect mafia” for daring to poke fun at their religions crimes. We don’t know actually what she said, but it looks like pc(no pun intended) madness. It only takes one to complain and it opens the gates, bet the complainant was not the only RC in attendance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,764 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 So what? If I believe in something, I can accept criticism of it. If you can't accept criticism of things you believe in then you should take a long, hard look at yourself. Roman Catholicism is a repulsive paedophile ring that hoards wealth. Criticism is essential in a progressive society. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 She made a joke about child abuse which is in my eyes is not on for a senior police officer while on duty in a mixed company. The penalty may be harsh and extremely over the top but she certainly deserved a reprimand and a verbal warning. I don't see why we are making Rangers out to be a victim here. She made a serious error of judgement and therefore could expect some sort of comeback if her bosses got to hear about it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,764 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I didn't take it personally. But I am concerned that British culture is taking a wimpy turn where people are sacked for making a joke. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am concerned that British culture is taking a wimpy turn where people are sacked for making a joke. I agree that things are getting more difficult as to what you can or can't say but there are jobs that have always had a certain amount of responsibility on behaviour and a senior Police officer falls into that category. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
