The furore over his infantile drawing also reminded me that I was mistaken on my last post; I have visited his Twitter page before. I remember when somebody retweeted that drawing; I went to Graham's page to have a look for myself and was quite disgusted. There was no reason for it, other than blind, racial hatred. It certainly showed what kind of human being, and I use the term loosely, Graham is.
Apparently Graham has been receiving support from the likes of the BNP and the EDL, which comes as no real surprise. In a society where a scummy creep like Jeremy Clarkson is seen as some kind of hero, hundreds of thousands are signing a petition to get him reinstated and even the Prime Minister is on his side, it's probably the case that support for Graham is more widespread than the lunatic fringe that has backed him so far.
The resident troll over on Bampots Utd has been banging on about 'free speech' and giving us all the 'Je suis Charlie' shite. It's funny how these morons are all for free speech and then they're demanding that folk on the TV and radio are sacked when they point out the truth that it's a new club playing at Ibrox. That's the trouble with 'free speech'; it has become a refuge for all the scum of society. Racial and sectarian bigots claim that they should be able to say whatever they like but then start shrieking if somebody has the gall to sing a song about Ireland. The pathetic mindset of The Peeppul is shown by the Bampots Utd. troll trying to claim that Tonev is a racist, despite there being no evidence, while excusing Graham's vile tweet as being perfectly acceptable under the 'free speech' banner. Make up your mind, you stupid bigot!
The big question as far as the Daily Record is concerned is whether Listy Graham is a suitable person to be on the Bisto Board. Er...I'd imagine that expressing such views makes him eminently suitable! At least somebody at Ibrox has a sense of humour, telling the DR, 'Rangers (sic) would like to stress that we strongly disagree with intolerance of a religious or racist nature.' I look forward to seeing this spokesperson on the big Comic Relief extravaganza tonight!
There's also a big kerfuffle about Neil McKenzie, the would-be letter bomber, who turned up at Ibrox on Tuesday. After loads of complaints, he's been banned for life. I wonder if that's the same kind of 'lifetime ban' that Sandy Chugg has been handed THREE times! Anyway, another Ibrox spokesperson said, 'Rangers (sic) can confirm Mr McKenzie has been banned from attending all matches involving the club'. All well and good but surely he shouldn't be out and about to attend matches in the first place and surely a football club shouldn't be doing the job of our legal authorities?
Imagine if a few bams of the Islamic faith got together to unilaterally declare Jihad on the government. If they made bombs, without having any real idea what they were doing, and sent them to prominent people, do you think they would get away with the defence that the devices were harmless? It would be pointed out that the intent was there, no matter how thick the perpetrators were. They weren't to know that the bombs wouldn't work; the intent to maim or kill was there. At the very least they would be found guilty of attempted murder and the key would be thrown away.
Why were the Ayrshire Bombers treated differently? Two years is a derisory sentence given the fear engendered, not just among the targets, but in the mail sorting offices where these devices turned up. It is a sick joke that our society deems it acceptable to target people because they are Catholic, of Irish descent or because they support Celtic. That's what it comes down to. Banning this piece of shit from Ibrox hardly seems worth it in the grand scheme of things. It's our authorities that should be held to account, not the new club at Ibrox. Yes, Rangers and the new club have a case to answer but so does society at large for tolerating it! And maybe a bit of introspection by our media wouldn't go amiss. Remember all the shite about Lennon 'bringing it on himself'?
Meanwhile, the Record pursues its own vile agenda, making out that this kind of thing is frowned upon by the 'Real Raynjurz Men.' It says that McKenzie's ban, 'underlines the new board’s determination to move forward and distance itself from the many scandals that have come in the wake of the club’s sale to Craig Whyte from previous owner David Murray in 2011.' Oh, right then, bigotry and hatred was unknown at Ibrox until Whyte came along! What planet do these agnivores come from?
So Stuart McCall is taking over as manager until the end of the season. Desperate times call for desperate measures and all that. Of course, they couldn't follow Keith Jackson's advice and sign Auld Dignity - he's the one that taught Sooperally everything he knows, after all. The big problem for the team under McCall is going to be away matches against QOS, Falkirk and Cowdenbeath. McCall's style of management has always been to tell his team that if they see a blue shirt coming at them then they should jump out the way and let that player have the ball. Old habits die hard so this could prove a tricky appointment. At least he won't get confused about the changing-room doors now!
Free speech.
Vile, offensive singing.
