From the link. The Convener: Yes, I know; I accept that. Do you therefore accept my premise that prosecutions under the 2003 act will be more successful in relation to Rangers supporters singing—notwithstanding the point that the songs are not all sectarian—than Celtic supporters singing, behaving in a certain way or chanting, because that would not be deemed sectarian and would be more likely to be deemed political? Professor Devine: I do not understand your point— The Convener: My point is that it is not even. If remember correctly it was also televised in part on the Scottish news. |

I know. I was making a point for that poster in Stockholm who thinks the law was well-intentioned. |

Stockholm syndrome indeed It’s an interesting insight into the mindset of the politicians who passed the Act. They start from a position that it has to be “even”. And if objective reality doesn’t support that position then it has to be changed This was about 2 things. Giving the Police exactly what they wanted. And maintaining the narrative that Scotland has a 2 sides of the same coin “sectarian” problem. Huge thanks are due to all of those who made the repeal happen. But I worry about what comes next, I don’t see them taking this defeat well. |

I chinned her outside Ibrox not long after that. She was standing outside the Broomloan with two high ranked coppers in uniform. I probably slurred my words, but I think she got the gist of it. |

P254, Professor Devine: "What is the logical reason, therefore, for spreading the legislation? One of the toughest and most robust areas of offensive behaviour legislation is anti-racism legislation. We have that already. I go back to the intellectual conundrum: why do the legal officers wish to extend that into other areas? They are perhaps areas of legitimate concern, but they are particularly controversial and ambiguous and ones in which the legal process could perhaps even end up looking like an ass." How prescient of the Professor. On TV, I remember seeing him often look exasperated with the convener that day... |

Are you taking the effing piss? You had a debate with half of the board yesterday over this exact issue, and over the comments she made. You then argued the toss about it, denying that the act was setup to even the score and spent half the day defending it. Someone even posted a link to the report, including the exact page of the report that contained the forementioned comment, and now you are asking for people to link you to that quote? Even though you were arguing about the content, you either didn't read it (likely), or have horrific memory issues. |

You're just repeating the claim rather than showing a quote which backs it up. I read that link and the exact pages.Couldn't see what was claimed. If you can point me to the bit where it says the act is being set up to even things out I would be most grateful. |
