@TEnglishSport Nothing will be done. Nothing is ever done when it comes to Celtic and Rangers. These two clubs have a stranglehold over Scottish football, with no accountability, no responsibility, and both are happy with the cosy cartel that they have created. Deny and deflect, and repeat.

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered.

It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.

[Ivar Struthers @chinapenguin]

@BBCScotlandNews But nothing will be done. Because nothing is ever done when Celtic and Rangers are involved 🙈🙉🙊. Their cosy cartel will maintain their stranglehold over Scottish football as they have done for decades. All we can expect from these two is more deflection and denial.

[Ivar Struthers @chinapenguin]

@FalkirkFC Excellent news. Well done Falkirk FC and Leon McCann 💙

[Ivar Struthers @chinapenguin]

@spfl Oh well, that'll make sure sectarian songs and chants never get near an SPFL agenda.
Nothing to see here, move along nicely please 🙈🙉🙊.

@BBCSport 'If they win their group.' 😅😂🤣
So, good luck to Croatia 🇭🇷, Ghana 🇬🇭, and Panama 🇵🇦. Hopefully they will ensure the rest of the country can enjoy the World Cup without this BBC drivel.

@ScotNational Barclays - one of the least ethical banks on the planet. Fined multiple times by the FCA and its predecessor for poor money laundering controls, fixing inter-bank lending rates, etc over many years. Is this the kind of partner Scottish football wants? An appalling decision.

[Ivar Struthers @chinapenguin]

Somewhat ironic that the UK is taking advice on controlling its borders from a nation (Denmark) that is part of the EU.
You mean we could have done it all along without the lie that was #Brexit?

This is a Christian church that was desecrated by Israeli forces in 1948 and is now in ruins. Christians were arrested for trying to restore it.

Do not tell me Israel is a safe place for Christians.

That was daylight robbery by Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but the score is all that matters. We'll take that all day long 🥳.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem.

It doesn't.

Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press.

Britain has a problem with racism.

Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem.

RT if you agree.

I've just email'd my MP to ensure the people behind the tea we drink are paid fair wages, get decent working conditions, and that their human rights are respected.

The answer to cold-blooded murder is not to call for revenge, but to make every effort to ensure there will be no more violence and killing.
Unfortunately that takes courage, a quality that is in short supply among our political leaders.

@ShivieArgyle @fionalarkin13 @anam_alba @EuniceCraig12 It's a thingamajig-whatsit, with bits that go wheeee, when no-one is in earshot.

Haven't seen any reports that the leader of RacistUK, who shares his initials with the National Front, was invited to the state banquet for the President of the French Republic, or whether or not he accepted. Just curious 🤔. Would have made for an interesting evening.
