I see two men have been arrested for the spitting assault on a woman at the march last weekend.
I'm sure the Scottish Judiciary will throw the book at them.
and it's only gonnae worse, the "Ulsterisation" of Scottish politics.More threats and intimidation from the Klan

Good Evening Bhoys.. Apologies if this seems innappropriate, but I feel it adds to the discussion that our media was biased in the reporting of the midweek games and the playing down of the abuse and assaults on the public from last weeks anti Catholic parades……

Ruglonians awoke on Friday morning to find union jacks, England and Northern flags festooned across the town
Police were called in to protect council staff tasked with removing flags that had been hoisted before an Orange parade in Rutherglen on Friday.
A large number of Union Jacks and some England and Northern Ireland flags were erected on Cathcart Road, Chapel Street, Mill Road, parts of Main Street and at other locations as members of the Orange Order prepared to parade through the town on Saturday morning.
But those who erected the flags did not seek or receive the necessary permission from South Lanarkshire Council, which instructed staff to take them down following complaints from a number of residents.
However, groundsmen who had to use a cherry picker to scale lamp posts were subjected to a tirade of abuse from locals, including some drinking in nearby pubs.
Gordon Mackay, head of roads and transportation at South Lanarkshire Council, said: “We had not received an application prior to Friday to erect these flags in Rutherglen, and nor have we received any such requests for the rest of the summer.
“As a result, staff removed flags on Friday but, as they were doing so, one council employee was subjected to abuse by members of the public, at which point Police Scotland provided support.
“No one, in any job or organisation, should have to suffer abuse as they go about their legitimate jobs and we would urge everyone to treat our employees with the respect they would wish for themselves.”
Inspector Robert Bryce of Rutherglen police confirmed no one was arrested.
He said: “We were called by the council on Friday just after 3pm in relation to members of staff removing the flags in Rutherglen. Some of the locals were not happy about it. Officers attended and spoke to locals and council staff.
“The council employees felt they were verbally abused, the result being they needed the police there. There were no further issues.”
The Reformer’s photographer was also abused at the scene.
Inspector Bryce added: “It is not acceptable that someone who is doing their job is subjected to this kind of abuse. Thankfully it has not led to any violence or further public disorder.”
Members of Orange and Purple District 20 traditionally parade in the town at the start of July to commemorate Prince William of Orange’s victory over King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
A spokesman for the organisation said he was not aware who put the flags up, or of the police’s involvement.
He said: “The district lodge made no application for permission to erect any flags and had no intention of doing so for this year.
“I hope police have dealt with the situation if council employees were abused because it is unacceptable to hear of such things.”
Police Scotland confirmed the Orange Order walk on Saturday passed without incident in Rutherglen.
Only Local condemnation???
True, they'll be wanting to build bonfires in the middle of the roads next. ?and it's only gonnae worse, the "Ulsterisation" of Scottish politics.
