! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
The belligerence within the English tradition is still a fresh memory and for some people the national flag is associated with football violence.
The British flag is associated with the racist far-left BNP and the violent Brit-Scot nationalist Rangers fans and Bragg has the nerve to claim that the Cross of St George is associated with violence?

Not quite, because Celtic, (the other scotch Team) are all Irish catholics who fly the Irish Sweetie wrapper flag, the huns fly the Jack.
As a point, I do think most of the trouble is due to ‘cultural insensitivity’. I think the touchy feely re activate policing is not neccesarily the best way to work with them. They are Glaswegians, doing glaswegian things, unfortuneatley not in Glasgow but they need treated like Glaswegians, with big sticks and flamethrowers.
We as scots, are pretty thick, we react well to violence and expect it in most situations, I think if the police had stood their ground, the situation would have fizzled out, it was the retreat that that sparked the red mist.
Actually, what really freaked me out was the camera.
Camera 83!
If they had 83 cameras, why were they not on top of the situation, with their horses, crushing the dissent?
83 is a lot of cameras, i had not really picked up on how much we are watched
The huns are not british nationalists, they are just anti catholic
