ISTR reading that a survey this week found that 3 out of 4 people no longer have any faith in the ability of police to protect them. Hardly surprising, with incidents like this.

And does anyone think this kind of behaviour would have been tolerated if it had been aimed at Muslims?

Yet more evidence that a seperate, Paramilitary Force is required, to put the fear of God(or Grud )into the scum...

Proper little chief constables pet, aren't we? Bet you slipped him a few shekels for that. I walk past Cranston Hill cop shop every day and I've seen a foot patrol twice this year.
All for some Challys in george square ... it needs a bit of a make over!

jan hamilton gives me the willies .... whose I'm not sure!

Also disgusted at this. Hope those arrested are named and shamed.

It is disgusting from both sides of the fence because there was clearly those from the protestant and loyalist side there looking for some trouble as well.

I seen this item on reporting scotland, funnily enough the only footage shown of the protest were of individuals with a Union Flag in their midst?! Not like them to show a distorted view of the truth!

I noticed that as well; the only people shown were coppers and a load of blokes chanting: "No surrender!"

Where's the Gurks when you need them?
Even a single Gurkha would have seen them off!

Damn, I wished I had been there with my old SLR (wooden stock and all) and flak jacket.... ex Op Banner.
With my FRG (early "rubber bullet" gun, basically a 2 inch flare gun with a stock and a barrel extension.... remember them?)

A "snatch squad" would have sorted them out right quick.........

Typical one sided reporting. What do you expect though.

I'm not too clever with Scottish law but I'm sure a attempt to breach the peace is the same anywhere on UK soil and I'm suprised more arrests weren't made to prevent it.

As for calls for the plod to be more heavy handed and put the fear back into them and clear the streets etc. The Bobbies need to know they are going to be back should they have to get hands on. Consider the press presence and the immediate public reaction to police using any force lately and you see the problem. In short senior bosses bottle it.

This still doesn't stop the individual plods locking up though. Something I am almost certain happened. Just not on the scale it should have.

so there where no royal marines there then

These people shouldnt be given the publicity - then we can go on pretending alls well in the emerald isle right through the marching season.

Saucer of cream for Ms Jaybee!

Only today Sir Jock Strap was saying he doesn't reckon there was anywhere where this kind of thing would happen in the UK. Oh how blinkered they are.

I refer you to my earlier question: what level of force would have been used if a bunch of scum had shouted insults outside a Mosque? My guess is they would have been clubbed like baby seals, and to Hell with the consquences.

I doubt it - The bosses may have reacted differently but plod would still act in the same manner now that they know how the public react to Police use of force on BBC news.

I wonder whether we'll be crying national outrage over a back handed slap this time?

I said at the time that was a non-story.

And I think if you had a bunch of Neds shouting insults at a group of Muslims, the Scrambled Eggs would probably send in Armed Response.

I heard one waste-of-rations state that, if a white man and an Asian both reported being assualted, he would spend more time and resources investigationg the Asian's complaint...because there was much less chance of the white man being "radicalised"!

FFS! This is a senior officer in L&B Police - whatever happend to "Uphold the Law without fear or favour"?!

Stratchclyde Police are a waste of skin. They are very good at treating football fans like s***, and hiding away from where the real criminals are. I work near Possil, and a few weeks ago I saw a used needle lying in the gutter, about 60 feet from the police station. The place is riddled with crime, drugs and gangsters and what do they do? Hee-haw.

I'm from a mixed family of catholic and protestant background, and don't have a particular axe to grind as regards religion, but I detest bigotry. There is a saying about it, that each lot is as bad is the other, and they are two cheeks of the same arse. To me if you put money in a bucket to support the IRA or the UVF you are the same as those who fund AQ. It beats me how these people can justify their actions, but its bred into many of them from birth. Unfortunately Glasgow (and West Central Scotland)is full of these vermin, and many occupy high office, so there's little chance of rooting them out.
I notice Jim Murphy had to get his bit in about being on the end of abuse for being catholic. Why was that relevant?

Good to see so many older veterans there today, and it was good to hear the crowd drown out the noise of all the protesters with applause when they realised what was going on.

They don't fear the Police because they're not allowed to hit them.
They don't fear the courts who aren't allowed to punish them.
They don't feed the government who give them £75 a week towards their habit.

Why shouldn't they get off their t1ts near the nick?

Breaking the windows on Plantation Street church, usually.

Tossers like these are background noise in Glasgow. It wasn't that long ago that you'd routinely see twats walking around the East End in 'Kill a Brit' t-shirts with the Sniper at Work logo on.

Vicious beatings are humanity's only hope.

Then we're fcuked; Strathclyde's Finest are too busy doing paperwork and Diversity Training. Anyway, since they dropped the fitness standards, a lot of the fat cnuts would have trouble spanking the monkey, let alone kicking in a Ned...

Never mind the Huns - where are the Fingermen when we need them?!

Try walking round the Barras market of a weekend and you'll see tons of Pro-IRA tat for sale, and more tricolours than you can shake a stick at.
I'm sure there is an office there for some pro-oirish mob there as well, and the pubs there are just active recruiting grounds.
The whole place needs flattened.

One of the leaders of the IRA protest at our homecomig parade in Belfast last year is now in custody charged with killing two of Sappers at Massereene Barracks and has already done time. Whilst I have no time for the UVF/UDA or the IRA the Glasgow cops should of gone in hard & cuffed a few scrotes. Nobody ever disrupts a parade and a tribute to our own from WWII to the present day.
