@delboy4877 @paulconmcguire @CelticFCSLO Why ..where else in sport is this a condition of entry into a venue. It's not so long ago we were all covering our faces.

@JohnWardMcLeod @JeanFind John, kettling is not a practice I agree with, however the group you refer to, did get access to the ground still wearing their snood,hats and singing their bile.

[Helen Martin @HM56D]

@JeanFind Another group of predominantly young men kettled again making their way to the game ,because of the way they look &dress !

[North Curve Celtic @NCCeltic]

Hundreds of Celtic fans are currently being detained in a kettle on London Road and refused access to the stadium for no reason.

Tony Benn’s 5 critical questions:

“What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How do we get rid of you?

And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”

Happy Birthday to all refugees arbitrarily assigned 1st January as their date of birth.

Congratulations on your perseverance despite the despicable treatment seeking asylum entails in the richest countries of the world.

Celebrate your persistence in ensuring your rights.

December 28

The Slaughter of the ­Innocents.

The Christmas Story is no tinsel town. It is messy, humiliated, ­hungry, cold. It is a collective birth-death ­trauma for stateless people, under brutal occupation, with no escape.

It is Gaza.

See the way in Scotland we scrutinize footballing desicions. Imagine as an electorate we done the same with our politicians and their policies especially around poverty but not from a party perspective but a societal lens. Things would change and change quick.
