Another sob story from a person who is only sorry they get caught out. Absolutely no sympathy for her.

A row over a Celtic cake saw Rangers fan Ruth Gilfillan demoted from rank of Detective Chief Inspector

When you think on some of the cases of hunnery involving serving Scottish police officers over the last few years, that doesn't surprise me.
There should be an investigation by an external force into this hun-ridden institution and clear out anyone that can't do their job impartially.

Didn't know the Record did hagiographies. One of many rotten apples in the barrel, but I'd bet the appeal is upheld with the minimum of fuss.

Out of interest, does anyone know what is the punishment for those who are found guilty of a breach of the OBFA? Or racially/sectarian aggravated/motivated hate crime (not sure of terminology)?

I'm wondering because of the way this seems to be spun. It appears she has admitted guilt but feels the punishment is too severe so I am just wondering what she and the Police Federation feel is an appropriate punishment particularly as it seems the victim has actually been punished too?

Doesn't sound as if plod up north have changed one iota since a friend of mine was told in the 70s he wouldn't proceed beyond whatever grade he was on because of his religion and who, when he complained about this, was transferred to transport duties where it was impossible to get promotion.

I don't think her salary will 'plummet' though: its likely she'll be on 'mark time' pay meaning her salary won't decrease until her demoted ranks' salary catches up with with her current income (in about 15 years time by which time the bigot will be long retired and on an incredibly generous pension. Probably be Sevco's security chief before then anyway as all staunch boxes ticked.)

Interesting point, they’ll quite happily knock on people’s doors in the early hours of the morning for singing a song at a game but think the punishment of a senior professional who really should know better is too severe.

Well she’s certainly got Murray Foote onside, doing her bargaining for her ahead of any appeal. It reads like a not very subtle attempt to influence an internal appeal process.

She should be effing fired. I would have zero faith in her future judgements on anything and would seriously question her prejudices in past and future matters. Ironically if she worked currently for the PSNI her arse would not be hitting the door on her way out. So why just a demotion in Scotland? Sack the bigot.

Should be bagged but sadly she'll have her rank reinstated. That's what happens when you have cops investigating fellow officers which is evident from that shameful piece in the Rectum.
Zero tolerance.

Get Steve arnott and he will sort it out. In saying that, his Masonic Dubliner of a boss will probably sweep it under the carpet

In two minds about this - she should absolutely have the book thrown at her but human trafficking is a real problem and if she's as good/innovative as they suggest then it's a shame that her hate fuelled stupidity impacts on that.

It's also an outrage that the officer who complained should suffer in any way.

It’s just not banter to joke about catholic schools and abuse - it’s the rhetoric of the bigot orc

It betrays a level of bigotry and prejudice that’s kept just below the surface most of the time probably - it’s possible to be a ‘massive rangurz fan’ without buying into the bullshampoo abuse language - that makes this different - it’s not about a football team then

Doesn’t matter if she’s god at her job or not! Plenty of arseholes can put up a decent shelf or even play football - difference is they rarely get a supportive puff piece in a national rag

I think that's always been a thing in the police and has historically made it difficult to tackle corruption etc so I'd say that might be more to do with that kind of culture.

That said I'm amazed that people working for an organisation that will bust folk in a dawn raid, or pounce on them as they return from holiday at an airport for the heinous crimes of singing songs or holding satirical banners, should feel hard put upon in these situations.

They have zero tolerance for people breaking laws that they often cannot been explain how they're being broken.
