Playing for Hollicom

An old mucked of Gersnet pitched up on BBC Scotland last evening, on the Nine. The President of the NUS(Scotland), Matt Crilly ironically stated, “undergraduates are paying for a service they don’t receive”.

 

Now, we’ve had John Swinney and Nicola Sturgeon offering mixed messages to Scotland’s undergraduates this last week. First, it was a case of any undergraduate in residence was not allowed to visit the parental home, against the law said Nippy. Being populist and noting parents were arriving in cars at the doors of Uni’ residences, and removing their little darlings; Nicola and John decided such actions were not against the lockdown laws, and it’s okay to go home for Christmas too.

 

Crilly on BBC Scotland, highlighting the injustice of students being charged for accommodation they won’t be using, must surely tug at a heartstring? Every Rangers supporter does similarly, we pay our BBC license fee and receive no service. I am positive Matt can be trusted to pursue our injustice along side the one being experienced by his members?

Okay, Holicom have gone, or have they? I don’t know, is it a case of meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss? Whom ever, whatever has taken over ra Sellik PR, the results are stunningly similar. Two instances occurred in Glasgow overnight, broadly similar instances of vandalism and graffiti, let’s have a look on how both are reported by main stream media.

 

Easterhouse is a sprawling scheme in the north east of the city, notorious with multi-social and economic deprivation. Last night, a grouping decided to take a spray can to the local Sports Centre, the message was familiar, “UB-07” and “Kill all Tai-gs”. Simply, it’s sectarianism writ large. The Evening Times journo, Jack Haugh calls it out, and quite rightly too, “Vile Glasgow Bigots” is the headline and the following several paragraphs condemn in equal measure.

 

A ready and waiting raft of political and professional talking heads deliver suitable condemnation and reasonable consequence. Councillor Ruairi Kelly says, “this type of behaviour costs the people of Glasgow thousands of pounds to clean up and nobody should have to see intimidating messages on walls, making them feel unsafe in their own neighbourhood”. Councillor Kelly is a regular contributor in this type of incident, he goes further, “I will be following this up with the local police and housing associations to ensure those responsible are made aware of how unacceptable this is to the residents of Easterhouse”.

 

Next up is Nil by Mouth’s, David Scott, he suggests society would be better off without such idiots. He states, “those responsible are scraping the barrels of idiocy”  He continues, “if, after months of people facing down this pandemic together, regardless of colour and creed, this is the best these morons have to offer society, they need to know we are better off without them” MSP, Ivan McKee pitches in, “I want to see this vandalism dealt with as swiftly and decisively as possible”.

 

I think it is all fair comment, it’s measured, and offers a way ahead. Terms such as vile, morons, and idiots are appropriate. There is a barb that Gersnetters might recognise from listening to Cosgrove on BBC Scotland? You know where we are placed on the sidelines, raging and beefing; all three contributors place the perpetrators out with society, at the very least not worthy of society.

 

The second incident occurred at Patrick Thistle’s ground, Firhill. Israel have been training in Maryhill, in preparation for tonight’s  match at Hampden against Scotland. There’s a familiarity about the vandalism and graffiti, “Israel ensures Palestinian blood flows”. The frontage of the stadium is daubed in red paint and the strap line is repeated along the length of the main stand. Those responsible are termed, “pro-Palestinian campaigners”. Jack Haugh reports police inquiries are continuing.

 

You may remember, a month past the same thing happened at Hampden? The same message, the same red paint, the same 70-80 members of the Green Brigade flying Irish flags, gathered to shout abuse at the Israeli team bus. Tonight, the Green Brigade are promising another similar protest at the national stadium. The North Curve(a campaigning nome de guerre - like all those Irish republican resident associations back in the day) have again claimed responsibility. Oh, let’s remind plod - police inquiries are continuing. Do not expect any arrests.

 

We have had three incidents in as many months in Glasgow, all perpetrated by the Green Brigade; the 4-5 hour amble around the city centre changing road and street signs, the Hampden ruckus, and now Firhill. We have not had a single comment from Nil by Mouth, Councillor Rhuiri Kelly, Ivan McKee MSP, ........... or evening the Chief Rabbi of Scotland. simply, they have not been asked, and won’t be.

 

Some vandalism is to be condemned and labelled vile, other vandalism is to accepted as necessary. I hope some of those deciding which is which, remember the old catechism, “who killed Christ, the Jews killed Christ”? The guys who used that excuses back in day were deservedly termed pariahs of society.

 

Seriously, they claim it, they film themselves doing it, they receive praise from the usual suspects, and yet not one can call it out, THE GREEN BRIGADE.
