Good letter sent to BBC, ITV, SNP etc
"Dear all
The narrative as appearing on BBC, ITV (and other) media the last 2 days is focused on the booing of a Rangers player, Glen Kamara.
A short while ago, Kyogo Furuhashi of Celtic was racially abused by Rangers fans on buses and also in the street.
At the recent match at Ibrox, Rangers v Celtic, virtually every single rangers fan was booing Kyogo Furuhashi. The rangers fans were singing "up to their knees in fenian blood".
The BBC reported it was "a great atmosphere".
I note that Kamara was the only player, black or otherwise to be 'booed' in Prague, indicating it could have more to do with the previous incident in Glasgow some months ago, when Kamara was banned for attacking the Prague player, following a racial slur by a Slavia Player (rightly banned).
Who has decided that booing is now racist?
If that is the case, why no reporting of the Kyogo Furuhashi incident?
It seems ironic that rangers are the only team in Scotland to have had a stand closed for racist chanting. That is racist, not sectarian. Similarly, there have been numerous incidents this past year that do not portray rangers fans in a favourable light. It's always a minority reported in the media.
Let me say this, there are 50000, yes almost every fan inside Ibrox, that sing a racist song including the lines "up to the knees in fenian blood". A minority? No, simply not the case.
Some journalistic scrutiny of this would not go amiss.
What sort of country do we want Scotland to be?
One where the media panders to influential or loud voices pushing their own narrative, or a country underpinned by decency, integrity, principles, fairness and above all, one that stands up to bullies, racists, cheats, swindlers and shysters.
Not a difficult question for most to answer - so let's start asking the question, and let's start in the media.
I'm aware there are certain views that are sadly entrenched in Scottish society and have been for decades; no mean feat but we must try with more than the occasional token arrest and perfunctory Statement."
