THE GAMES - A - BOGEY!

The Daily Record is running scared at the moment. The Commonwealth Games taking place in Glasgow is an ideal opportunity to push the Better Together agenda, with the Queen and the Royal Family easily overshadowing Alex Salmond in the propaganda stakes. The problem is, and Auld Lizzie and her brood deserve some credit for this, not one royal has come out in favour of either side in the referendum. And that creates serious problems for our media in Scotland. Every overseas nation that is taking part is independent but still has the Queen as nominal head of state; something that the Bettertogetherers keep telling us would be impossible in an independent Scotland! And then there's the added problem of The Peeppul.

Predictably, a word that always describes the actions of The Peeppul, they're all over any story about the Commonwealth Games to shout them down. Now, I'm not a big fan of watching athletics and I avoid these things like the plague; the Olympics, the European Championship Games etc, I find a complete and utter bore. Not so The Peeppul. Remember McMurdo and the rest telling us how great the London Olympics were and how it made them proud to be British? Strangely they don't feel the same about these Games; I wonder what's different. Oh, aye, right!

As if it wasn't enough to see Phil the Greek and his German burd at Celtic Park, the idea of Celtic fans Rod Stewart and Susan Boyle singing at the opening ceremony had The Peeppul frothing at the mouth, as did the Tongan boxer wearing a Celtic shirt. The bit about Scotland being presented by two gay celebrities, John Barrowman and Karen Dunbar would have Gregory Campbell's head reaching bursting point and that kiss would have his horsehair knickers in an absolute twist. You can just see him, fists in the air, crying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" as God spread sunshine over the proceedings.

Of course, their hooves have been clattering away at the keyboards in frustration and fury. Susan Boyle forgot a word, Rod Stewart was rubbish and the whole thing was tacky. It was no more tacky than the London Olympics ceremonies and, yet, they all loved that! Comments galore have been deleted on the Daily Record forum and you can no longer post on the story about the opening ceremony. Who'd have thought that The Peeppul would be so against such a celebration of Britishness, eh?

But, then, The Peeppul don't really have their troubles to seek at the moment. Sooperally's tour of North America has been an unmitigated disaster, The Daily Record, however, desperately tried to put a positive spin on it. "Ally McCoist hails new boys Darren McGregor & Marius Zaliukas for providing bite to kill-off Sacramento." screams one headline. Kill off? They only beat the lower-league part-timers 2-1! Meanwhile, Celtic's convincing triumph over KR Reykjavik inspired the headline,  "Ronny Deila's side show signs of progress with comprehensive win at Murrayfield." So beating a team of amateurs 2-1 in a nation where football ranks alongside peever in importance is 'killing off' the opposition, while trouncing Iceland's champions 4-0 merely 'shows signs of progress'! It looks like the agnivores are back; if they ever went away!

Although Police Scotland has given permission for the big Rickets Walk in Edinburgh to go ahead, the local council has still to give its consent. Somehow I don't think Edinburgh Council will want the English settlers in the New Town subjected to this kind of thing. It's practically straight after the International Festival is finished. Does Edinburgh really want to round off an event with visitors from all over the world with a display of insular bigotry and racism? And wait until the Cockburn Association get wind of The Peeppul's predilection for pishing on monuments; they'll have plenty to say on the subject!

Rather tellingly, the master of the cut-and-paste on McMurdo's site, WullieWontHe, includes a Scottish Defence League march in his news about Orange parades being given the go-ahead by Police Scotland. This particular bunch of racists want to march duing the Festival, prompting an objection from a chief superintendent. I imagine that the same bandy-legged prowlers would be attending the SDL march as well as the proposed three Orange Order ones. Hopefully Edinburgh Council will give the go-ahead to them all. The one during the Festival would be a belter, letting the whole world see what The Peeppul are all about.

Speaking of politician manqué McMurdo, I see one of his fellow UKIPers has come out against The Peeppul. Gordon Gillick (and yes, he is related to Victoria; he's her husband!), UKIP member of Cambridgeshire County Council had the following to say:


"The people we describe as obese, thick, badly educated, whichever way you like to phrase it... they enjoy being 25 stone, they’re not discontent, they’re just a burden on the state".

That pretty much sums up the supporters, as well as the manager and a good chunk of the playing staff, of Bisto FC. I don't think McMurdo had better bother standing for election again anytime soon!



JUST SAY 'NEIGH'!


"Folk just don't understand the pressures. I mean, it's not just hard physically, but it's mentally draining too. It's so easy just to slide into drug-taking. I started off just with a few odd puffs at a joint and then, before I knew it, I was taking temazepam and valium. I ended up on the hard stuff: the morphine hay..."
