This isn't about party politics it's about a principle. Tackilng poverty is the founding principle of this club and to accuse supporters of politicising the club for merely sharing the same concerns and aspirations as the club's founding fathers is an insult.



Bang on, the attempts at deflection are unsurprising given the sources around here.

What? You don't find some of the posts defending Bankier and livingstone dubious? I do.

You know eff all about me. I'm happy that it stays that way.
I'm pretty sure I'm right about what I said.

It really must boil your blood knowing there are Celtic fans around you at Celtic park that vote conservative and hold differing social views from you.
Aw aye the ground is swelling with self made millionaires from the Calton. Thatchers children dwell among us for sure but they represent a small percentage of the Parkhead faithful.

They'll have family on here. They'll have folk that agree with their known and perceived politics. Of course some will defend them.

Fair enough, doesn't change what I said, people defending them have an agenda. Whether because it's family or they are just tory carrots who knows.

It's not about a principle,Livingstone is being brought to task for his particular view of how to tackle poverty.That is politics.
What is his views regards tackling poverty?
He put forward reasoning for his vote online,think it amounted to favouring protecting the poorest in tax credit provision but encouraging work at the route out of poverty for the rest.In the end he said his vote was based on the right or not as he saw of the House of Lords to veto goverment policy.Me and you might think that's pish but it's a nuanced political position on social and economic matters.It isn't a principle that we can use a 19th century cleric to rubbish.

Since when was every member of the Celtic board a pro union Tory voter? :ponder:

Is this the new KDS war cry? I believe last month it was something along the lines of Lee Griffiths being genetically racist. It's hard to keep up.

Who said they were?

Brian Wilson is a pro union labour voter.

And it's Leigh.

Away you and take a flying eff to yourself and do some reading.
Really though, what businesses or backgrounds would you be happy with members of the celtic board coming from ?

Is anyone at all that works in finance allowed ? cause if not we could be struggling a bit.

Making work the route out of poverty by making working people poorer is a bit of a non-sequitur.

I don't need to know what he said or his reasons. I know how he voted. That's it. Everything else is bullshampoo platitudes. Although work out of poverty? Really? That is insulting to a whole broad spectrum of people on credits. Fae a millionaire who started out life comfortably in the middle to upper class?

Sadly they're applying the catastrophe that is osbornomics to the club, with the same result. See Ciftci thread.

Generally if your social and economic view mirrors a Tory manifesto, it probably means you're a selfish, self-serving, heartless arsehole. Not the thread for it, but not one of their policies are designed to help anyone but their rich pals.

More on topic, the thing that is bothering me is the language that was used by Bankier. A "torrent of abuse" would suggest lots, but I've still to see any evidence there was actually any. Anyone got screen grabs or links to tweets/FB messages? I saw one that mentioned him being a Jew, but there was no sectarian/racist edge to it, just stating what he was.

Did you mean to reply to my post ? because that doesent really apply to my question.

The current board are there to be critcised on their record but we're now having a go at Brian Quinn and insulting folk for asking who people would rather see on the board, which in light of the comments I think is a fair question.

I reply to the part of the post that suggests that without the financial expertise we'd struggle a bit. Of course we could be even worse off. But the club is without a clear direction, catastrophe on the pitch, and without any greater vision. The financial geniuses have failed.
