Every other country one visits it seems all the taxi drivers shop assistants barman and barmaids all speak fluent English. Therefore aI am sure the vast majority can work out that Fuck the Pope is neither friendly,or particularly mature. I note you do not condemn such singing but try and pass it off as ok because Johnny Foreigner probably doesn’t understand.

Gonzo79 13,587 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) If you don't want to slag the leader of the world's largest paedo ring, barrheadboy, that's fine. Doesn't bother me in the slightest what the Tims or foreigners think about us. As if we don't have enough to deal with in Scotland, without our own cosying up to those who hate us.

colinstein 294 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 When Stalin was told of the pope's ire because privileges were being removed from the church, his reply was "how many divisions has he got?" Not that I'd ever endorse anything Stalin said 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,409 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The problem is that criticism of the pope, his church, and any or all of its works is now seen by acolytes, devotees, and sundry hand wringers as unacceptable, offensive, and worthy of both censure and censorship. The debate is no longer about whether disapproval and disparagement of the pope etc is appropriate in the context of a football match, which I would submit , on balance, it is not, but about whether such a view is acceptable at all. That is an entirely different and dangerous thing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I would suggest if that is your criteria you look at Westminster Palace where not only a pedo ring has been discovered and covered up for decades, but also murdering of children ,so it must be contradictory for lovers of Britannia that hate Church of Rome for same crime don’t you think? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
