Huns hurting after today

I get where your coming from SP, and normally I wouldn't comment on the passing of one of theirs, but and honestly this is great restraint on my part, his hatred of me and my kind wasn't ever hidden, so he will get no sympathy from me let alone compassion.

50, when my Granddaddy crossed the sea with his wife and 12 of his 13 sons and daughters, he eventually settled on Dundee as the opportunities here matched his skillset.

It turned out to be a good decision in more ways than one.

Don't get me wrong, the stain of sectarianism, bigotry and racism still exists in Dundee - it just isn't as frequent or as common as it is in other parts of the country.

I still get called a Fenian Bastard and a Taig, but (for the most part) they don't call me those names because they understand the meaning - they call me those names because they heard it at Ibrox.

Was Jimmy Bell a good man? The answer is, I don't know. Was Jimmy Bell a bigoted, sectarian racist? Absolutely, but that's due to 150-years of fear and small-mindedness which was drummed into these folk.

We are better. We will be better and someday after we're all long gone - our lessons might make them a little better too.
 
There's a wee reason why I still think there's a glimmer of hope amongst that lot.

During the Miners Strike in the 80's and on the Timex picket lines in the 90's - it was the huns who came out in their droves to back the actions.

I don't know when their drift towards the extreme right and English sovereignty became an actual thing, but during those aforementioned periods - it was huns that were front and centre when it came to preserving Scottish socialism.

Obviously, times have changed and there has between a political role reversal, but I still retain fond memories of R#*×$^s men standing for a worthwhile cause..

Changed days indeed

Only because the shipyards were closing down and they needed the mines still open to hide in...
