Lesson is - don't do stupid things Publishing that book was stupid. Would you agree? Knowing what Glasgow is like?
Publishing books some might disagree with would have been stupid in 1930's Germany, not 21st century Scotland.
She edited the book. Is this the "she brings it on herself" argument? I don't think that is credible tbh. You dismiss the assertion that if is anti-Irish racism as "absolutely laughable". Why do you suggest that?
What's the alternative? Let the slack-Jawed spastics win? Can't believe you are suggesting someone should not edit a book in case they are attacked. It isn't the 1950's.
Taig schools are responsible for Sectarianism and Taigs are responsible for sectarianism directed towards them. He's some pup is Trev.
Was it a wise move? Yes or no? Ps A lassie wearing a mini skirt isn't guaranteed to be raped but if you edit a book that shines a bad light on rangers you are 100% guaranteed to get abused, especially if you are a member of ***** Mecca that is twitter.
Classifications on a persons ethnicity in the UK is self defined by the individual. Irish is on the Scotch census form. If that is what she considers herself, then that is what she is. The perpetrator identifies, through his language, that Haggerty is something "other" than him. She identifies herself as being something other. This is allowed Trevor. Therefore the language used by Greenslade is wholly appropriate. You might find it laughable. That is ok Trevor. You are not responsible for identifying ethnicity. That honour goes to the Individual, as per the National Office of Statistics.
David Limond, 41, featured journalist Angela Haggerty as "taig of the day" during a broadcast – not an official club programme - on 20 September 2012. The segment began with a jingle in which Mr Limond described Ms Haggerty as 'taig of the day, scum of the day' and Irish of the day". He went on to describe details of her appearance to listeners and how to contact her on the social networking site Twitter before encouraging listeners to subject her to abusive comments. "Hit her with everything you've got," Mr Limond said on the programme. "She's got to get bang bang bang." "I was targeted because of my connection to a book on Rangers financial collapse, which I edited. But it's clear from the language that I was also a target because of my Irish Catholic heritage. It's horrible that these attitudes are still held in some quarters". What a funny guy, almost as funny as his brother.
You seem to be saying that everyone should tread wary when dealing with Rangers, especially if you are connected (however tenuously) to a publication that is negative towards them, because then you are guaranteed to be abused and threatened. You are not making a coherent argument Nev, what about the principle of free speech? What kind of country would this be if people kept their mouths shut through intimidation and fear?
