    Freedom and free speech are rights that come with responsibility, because free-speech has the power to alienate and belittle.  If someone has misogynistic views then they should keep them tothemselves rather than trying to rally the other animals that agree with them, but because thay have these views they are not the sort of person to keep counsel or just be a little careful ariund what they say.
    Telling unpleasant truths is often necessary and should be valued when the intention is to have a better debate.  To go out looking for things that you decide you disagree with, with the intention of attacking a person who you disagree with is actually pretty vile.
    The trend now is to brand anyone with a moderate or even caring view as "woke" and people use the term freely without realising that the context they are using it in is unintentionally racist
    As for GB news, i am afraid that they exist to further the reach and aims of extreme-right wingers who want to hijack the tory party as a way of gaining power.  They peddle untruths and only want to hear their own agenda.

    It’s “populist”.
    The irony is that the original source for the story is a left-leaning, pro-European publication (The New European), that used the irony of  Marianna’s new job in light of her youthful indiscretion.  They saw it as a good learning experience for a young person.

    No such humanity and magnanimity from ALL the right-wing rags and outlets.  A big NASTY pile-on cos THEY are scared that she/the bbc scrutinises THEM.  A co-ordinated “nasty” response looks obvious.
    Just Google…
    “bbc disinformation correspondent marianna spring lied”
    ….to see how many right-wing rags all share pretty much the same repetitive  patter…

    We’ve played Hamilton at 4 different venues.  Douglas Park, New Douglas Park, Firhill and Cliftonhill we’re all home to Accies within the space of about 4 seasons in the 90’s.

    Alan is a fanny. 
    Alan speaks about himself in 3rd person and instead of putting his own name on it, hides behind the 1877 Club handle on here and on twitter.
    Don't a fanny. Don't be Alan.

    Wait a minute, GETTING into the top 6 is a result of playing every team 3 times and ALL down to what the manager and players achieved over 33 games.
    This "scraping in" demeans that achievement and is feck all to do with Dundee United.

    We even had the cringeworthy moment towards the end when AW said , pointing at the Kibble guys , he's a Celtic fan , and he was an Airdrie fan and now supports Rangers , while I've always been a St Mirren fan. It was the last attempted hurrah of a defeated man who thinks he's more important than he actually is. The bottom line is , the Kibble guys aren't going away any time soon , "they have no intention of selling their shares"! Last night was a wasted exercise when the questions from the attendees started, although Alex Dillon did very well in controlling it , and John Needham gave detailed responses to everything that was asked of him. Hopefully we can put this to bed now and concentrate on club matters like keeping the manager , and sorting out the Academy !

    This whole shit show should have been played behind closed doors. The fact that it was played so openly lies at the door of AW. For that reason he should never again be a Director of the Club. (On the presumption that is his agenda)
    IF and it’s a big IF, JG has lied about the use of the name and the land in the application then he must also go from the Board as must his henchman MM. (Renfrewshire Council denial of the inclusion of the land points to this)
    Finally John Needham is the Chairman of the club and put there by SMISA. If he was party to the banning of AW from the club with the knowledge that the Kibble had lied, complicit in their lies or failed to do due diligence on the matter then he also should resign or be removed from the board. By being part of the fighting in the background then to ban a fellow SMISA member for raising concerns suggests that he is not being openly objective.

    Doakie there lies the problem. They have used the clubs name and land in order to feather their own nest. When challenged they have deflected from the truth and blamed others. Furthermore they have claimed it doesn’t matter, it never got passed stage 2 anyway. (The Kibble lackey says for goodness sake it was only a Well-being Centre) Lack of honesty is a terminology being used by some however if verges on corruption. If you do something wrong at least have the integrity to take ownership of it. 
    The Kibble connection was supposed to bring honesty, collaboration, cohesion and governance, amongst other corporate bullshit. The actions of the board and AW have hindered the reputation of St Mirren and i now suspect the Kibble. The Council are less likely to assist them if they know that they are going to get thrown under a bus and used as scapegoat when things go wrong.

    Bollocks. Wardrop is dragging the clubs name through the mud for selfish reasons. He thought he could resign from the board , and then call them out , and everyone would swallow it. Trouble for him is , everyone who has seen how he operates knows he's an arsehole , a dangerous arsehole at that.
