As many of you know, during the Referendum,we would raise the discussion of Football, and more importantly, Celtic and Celtic Fans. and Politics. Many agreed, many disagreed, which given the\u00a0topic was Politics \u00a0made it all the more relevant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have also covered the abysmal treatment of Celtic fans under the terrible “Thou shalt not sing any songs with the word Ireland” Act and the piss poor enforcement and the politicising\u00a0by the Police in enforcing said Law.<\/p>\n

Politics of course also came into play when discussing the Celtic Board and the AGM given our Boards connections with the Tory and Labour Parties, currently and over the recent years.<\/p>\n

And of course we also discussed the Foodbank Collections at Celtic Park and their sad necessity in the day and age.<\/p>\n

Bet you thought we had exhausted that “Politics” subject by now didnt you?<\/p>\n

Well so did we to be honest, but no, just when you thought Politicians couldnt sink to a new low, up pops Jim Murphy.<\/p>\n

I could write a few dozen paragraphs on how it sickens me to see a so called Scottish Party( Do Scottish Labour exist on their own?) use Celtic (and Rangers) to increase their grass roots appeal and expand their media coverage, aided of course by that great friend of\u00a0 Celtic , The Daily Record ( Thugs and Thieves anyone), but I wont.<\/p>\n

I could write a long and lengthy rant at how sad it is to see our Greatest Captain being used as a Political toy ( knowingly or unknowingly)\u00a0to further a desperate mans attempt to climb up the popularity stakes by going for the lowest common demoninator instead of actually thinking up Policy that can help\u00a0people, but I wont.<\/p>\n

I could write a letter wondering why Jim Murphy didnt think this idea was relevant when he was Secretary of State for Scotland back in the day and had the Prime Minister on speed-dial, yet only now, when Rangers are yet again in trouble and Scottish Labour is in desperate need of positive spin, membership assistance and public backing, does he come up with this suggestion that to anyone with one iota of sense can see its the equivalent of patting the Celtic fans on the head and telling them to run along and vote for the red rose candidate like a good lap dog and never mind which Party voted with the Tory Government last week on further Austerity cuts thank you very much, but I wont.<\/p>\n

Instead, I’ll just follow BlackAdder’s Telegram approach when he had had enough of watching Charlie Chaplin in the Trenches.<\/p>\n

Dear Jim Murphy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please<\/strong>.
\nSTOP.<\/strong><\/p>\n
