Concerns as SNP say they have ‘no plans’ to continue to hold anti-sectarian summit

FEARS ARE growing that the Scottish government is cooling its anti-sectarian policies inherited from Labour and have been warned the issue could "slip back into the darkness".
Jack McConnell has called on the government to "rectify its mistake" of not holding a summit or launching a fresh strategy on sectarianism this year.
The former first minister, who was integral in introducing the national action plan at Scotland's first summit on sectarianism in 2005, accused the SNP government of taking "popularism too far".

And the national action plan amounted to ........

Go after Rangers and their support while McConnell and his pals enjoy a good singsong from their seats at Celtic park.

Hypocrits ... all of them.

You'd hardly expect the G'nats to be supportive of any organisation (or football team) so closely aligned with Unionism.

I see Alex Salmond is off to Manchester to watch the Unionist team becuase they represent Scotland. Or Like any other politcian just a freeloader.

I thought the granny shaggin' Eck wis a Jambo (?) Has he just gone to try to steal the credit for the G'nats (like he did wi the Commie games)?

He is a jambo, but I'm pretty certain Cllr Purcell and Provost Winter wouldn't consider themselves natural Rangers fans either. It's nice to see all differences being put aside for the greater good of supporting Scottish football

(I'm a Motherwell fan, so I'm generally in a good mood these days regardless!)

Annual Boyne Demonstration

Never heard it called that before. What exactly are they demonstrating against? Aren't they a bit late?

Evolution.

Sack Mike McCurry for a start

A wee joke;
Picture the scene: It's the Rangers dressing room just before the first old firm of next season. The tension is palpable. Up booms a voice;
"Right lads, you know what you need to do. Just get out there, play your best and everything else will fall into place"

In walks Walter Smith;
"Thanks very much Mr McCurry, I'll take it from here!"

Boom-boom

Annual Boyne Demonstration

Never heard it called that before. What exactly are they demonstrating against? Aren't they a bit late?

The main Boyne demonstrations in Scotland take place on the Saturday prior to the Twelfth of July celebrations in Northern Ireland. Approximately eight to ten thousand demonstrators walk in Glasgow with the same amount of followers and active onlookers. The numbers marching in Glasgow therefore are usually about twenty thousand strong. The County Grand Lodge of Central Scotland typically holds its demonstration on the same day in Lanarkshire. The numbers attending are as large as those in Glasgow. At the same time, around five thousand marchers and five thousand supporters are usually on parade in Ayrshire.
