I wonder I feel any of her colleagues on the force feel the same sympathy for all the football supporters who have lost jobs for similar banter in the stands?

They've got a cheek playing the sympathy card.

The fact that a police officer in her high position should come out with this stuff tells you everything. She obviously thought that she COULD say this AND feel comfortable within the confines of Police Scotland and that alone is damning. That the Scottish media and MANY of her colleagues are up in arms at her 'punishment' is another profound statement and reality check on Scotland in the 21st century.

The worst part of this story is that the person who made the complaint is getting bullied by their colleagues for exposing the bigot. Shows how rotten Police Scotland is.

Police Scotland isn't alone in that regard unfortunately.

Great post. :thumbsup:

She'll win the appeal and no doubt get triple promoted amidst all the chaos and infighting at Police Scotland.

Kinda like the SFA...

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

The 45-year-old law and politics graduate will see her salary plummet from £55,000 a year to £38,000.

It is understood the charge against her at the disciplinary hearing was conduct unbecoming of a police officer.


And she was found guilty, aye? So why is she still a police officer? It's okay for constables to make anti-Catholic jibes about paedophilia and collect 38K a year?

Not only should she be drummed out of the force completely but every one of her colleagues who has complained that her demotion is an excessive punishment should also face an assessment of their suitability for the job. It's pretty clear that she's far from being the only one whose conduct is unbecoming of a police officer.

There was a guy in the papers the other week, a shop steward I think, who had said something similar and was sacked after about 28yrs in the job.

She should have been sacked as well.
As others have said the media, well the DR who ran the story, have been trivialising it.

The front of the DR was a picture of her with the Cektic and rangers club crests in the background and a celtic cake in the foreground.

What they shoudl have been highlighting is the references to catholic schools and paedophilia rather than the implication thaat she woudln't eat a bit of a Celtic cake.

Police Scotland are showing here that child abuse and anti catholic rhetoric are nothing but a laughing matter.

I wonder how all the victims of said abuse feel about this?

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.
Human trafficking has at it’s heart the exploitation of the most vulnerable in society. She is a supposed expert in the misery and criminality of that exploitation.

She, of all people, should realise and be nowhere near the abhorrent perpetrators of the paedo narrative. In 2 minds? Appears pretty unequivocal to me.
This.
Cannot understand why anyone would think any differently.
The paedo patter from Huns is the absolute lowest

I made it clear she should have the book thrown at her for this and I have zero sympathy for her - and it's appalling that the cop who drew attention to this should suffer in any way. But on the off chance that she's actually as good at her job as they claim, then it's a shame. Not for her sake but for any victims of human trafficking she might have been able to help. It's not exactly complicated, it's basic humanity.

I imagine Harvey Weinstein was good at his job, do you think it's a shame he's going to be losing his?

Anything else to offer other than a really stupid comparison?

Or to put it another way, Quentin Tarantino was able to dictate his terms to get Sony to make his next film. The young women being trafficked don't have a comparable option.

I got a real doing from two of them in a cell in Dunfermline nick about 20 years ago.

I was just a daft wee laddie. The two carrots denied everything of course and eff all happened.

I despise them. Biggest crooks in the country. Every single one of them.
