A senior academic has been reported to police after allegedly making sectarian comments at an anti-racism rally.
Oh.
Jeanette Findlay, an economics professor at Glasgow University, spoke at the event in Glasgow on Saturday. She is chairman and founding member of Call it Out, a campaign against anti-Irish racism and anti-Catholic bigotry.
And her chosen method is....Protestant bigotry!
In a recording of her speech to protesters, shared on social media platform X, Professor Findlay said members of the Orange Order were at the event. She said they ‘swim in the same dirty water as the racists who are in Luton or London’ and claimed ‘anti-fascist’ protesters had been ‘kettled’ by ‘political police’ at the event. Professor Findlay said: ‘When you say you won’t allow the Right on your streets, can I remind you that the Right march our streets every week 11 months of the year – and in particular in July, when they take over the whole city from the first hour of the morning to the last hour at night. You need to stand with us and our community and protect our churches, our places of worship, when those b******* are going past us.’
Protect them from people marching past, not actually doing anything other than existing? What a snowflake.
The professor is also seen in another video shared on X asking a police officer who is telling her to move on: ‘Are you moving the Huns?’
Well, I'm learning new epithets for religious bigotry, not sure of the derivation of that one...
A Police Scotland spokesman said: ‘A complaint has been received and is being assessed.’
As you have to do now.
A statement online said the Grand Lodge had ‘written to the Scottish Government, police and other organisations expressing our concern over Professor Findlay’s speech and seeking action’. Todd Ferguson, a Tory councillor in North Ayrshire, tweeted: ‘The speech is at odds with the Scottish Government’s Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021.’
Easy to see why crime is becoming rife in Scotland, if the police are tied up with this nonsense all the time...

"The Huns" is disrespectful/insulting Glasgow slang for Rangers supporters. Don't say it out loud anywhere near same, or you might receive a "Glasgow kiss" or something worse.
Can the Huns remember when their football team last won anything?

I gathered it must be, but can't figure out the derivation. But then, Scottish football is even more of a mystery than English to me.
