Bigots and Racists

A Scottish man - William Kilpatrick (22) - has been sent to prison for nine months after posting a hate message on a social networking site - in the wake of a football game between Rangers and Celtic.
William Kilpatrick posted the following message about the Celtic manager Lennon: 
"Get mair bullets and bombs sent boys, Glasgow Rangers Champions."
During his trial Stirling Sheriff Court heard that a week before this vile post was made, that real bombs and bullets had - in fact - been sent to Neil Lennon and a high-profile Celtic supporter Paul McBride QC who died last year.
Now Kilpatrick claimed that his call to arms was just 'banter' and meant in fun - but thankfully the jury didn't believe his lies and found that his behaviour amounted to a breach of the peace.
Good for the jury - because this kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable and inciting other people to commit violence is not a laughing matter - so well done to the judge who said that he would be failing in his duty if he did not send Kilpatrick to jail.
Likewise in Moscow where Manchester City's Yaya Toure - the other night - stood up to foul and racist abuse from CSKA Moscow football 'fans' - during a Euro Champions League tie. 
I'm sure these clowns would say they were just being funny as well which is what all bigots and bullies say when they get caught out - so I hope the European football authorities throw the book at the club. 
Because that's the way to drive home a message to these fans - that their behaviour is absolutely offensive and will not be tolerated.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
