Help Ma Boab!
I knew that I had written about xenophobia and anti-English sentiment on the blog site previously - see the post dated 26 August 2103: 'Tickety Boo'.
So here's a earlier post from 2009 which pokes fun at small-minded types who would - if they could - make an issue out of other people's nationality.
I think it's hilarious I have to say - not least because the 'dog whistle' tactic backfired so spectacularly - as if anyone cared a jot about the nationality of a lawyer dealing with their equal pay claim.
I imagine the vast majority of people would just be pleased to be getting some help, support and useful information - about how to stand up for their rights.
Jings, Crivvens and Help Ma Boab! (14 August 2009)
Pssst! Have you heard the news?
Celtic Football Club has appointed a new manager – for the 2009/10 football season.
Someone who’s not Scottish – dare we say it, the chap’s actually from................England!
As far as we know there have been no pickets at Parkhead – and, so far, no public disorder in the streets.
But Unison (Scotland) has not spoken - yet.
And we know that the union has a bit of a chip on its shoulder about non-Scots coming up north – telling us locals what to do, how to do it and generally throwing their weight around.
So, the west of Scotland is holding its collective breath – since we all know that there must be some Celtic fans amongst the ranks of Unison (Scotchland).
Now most sane people don’t give a fig that Tony Mowbray is from the north east of England. Because what has that got to do with his ability as a football manager?
Although – you have to admit – it’s a strange coincidence that Stefan Cross hails from that part of the country as well.
So, maybe it is a conspiracy after all – for English lawyers and English footballers to subvert the established order - and seize control of the socialist republic of Caledonia.
Maybe that’s why Unison is so paranoid about where people come from - maybe the union has a point?
On the other hand – maybe they’re just all bonkers.
