Scotland's Shame

[picklish]

 

Quote

Parliament, under the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement, also laid down various conditions which the Sovereign must meet. A Roman Catholic is specifically excluded from succession to the throne. https://www.royal.uk/succession

no mention of the rest

You do talk some shite

Aw geez peace. Anyway we're talking about a medieval feudal institution, with a long sorry history of usurpation, Machiavellian back-stabbing and political assassinations based on who follows the right doctrine concerning a fairytale of an imaginary puppet-master who lives in the clouds. Would you really want to be associated with such a shower in reality? In 2022? Enough to get your panties wet on here?

It's reserved for blue bloods which 99.999% of the population of these isles do no fit into. The fact the establishment at the time would invite and welcome a Dutch coup, rebrand it as a Glorious Revolution then approach mad German aristocracy to get involved with the two only provisos that they were tenuous linked nobility and protestant (probably Lutheran) was enough.

No I don't and if the fact that 99.9% of the populace are excluded from any chance of being head of state is not something you agree with or understand then the 'shite' , as you put it is all with you, sir.

There isn't a piece of paper big enough to list the rest but if you think only Catholics cannot ascend the 'throne' fine.

As a way to deflect from the extremes of the thread I’ve got a question for all the over-35 posters:

In 1997 when Princess Diana died what odds do you think you would have got at the bookies that Rangers would end up dying before the Queen?

The wages/tax ratio on the EBT scheme that ultimately killed Rangers.

Lots of anti irish/Catholic sentiment in this thread ..hardly surprising when we live in a country where a Roman Catholic is excluded from succession to the British throne .

Rightly or wrongly (I'm not a monarchist but I'm not getting involved in the rights and wrongs), traditionally the monarch is the head of the Church of England so it sort of goes without saying they have to be C of E. It's a bit like saying the Pope has to be Catholic.

The rules were no doubt written when they wouldn't have considered any other religion so I assume that's why only Roman Catholics are specifically excluded.

I got confused about which side you’re referring to here..  The Catholic Church or the monarchy??

Good point well made, there's not much to seperate them other than red slippers and a love of pasta.

A good night to bump this thread.  Rangers' staunch tribute to John Lydon/Vivian from the Young Ones, and Celtic's wee boys out in Poland telling some Ukrainians how much they hate a Netflix series.  A photo finish (I was about to say a dead heat...) in the cringe stakes.

Good bump, a particularly tragic week as displays by the two sets of knuckledraggers go.

Why is a tribute to the queen seen as “Scotlands shame?Please explain.

Because the rest of the country is fucking embarrassed seeing that cringeworthy shite. I'd have thought the term "Scotland's shame" was self-explanatory.

Good bump, but you didn't like the post??

In hindsight it probably wasn't a great idea to resurrect this thread about both arsecheeks embarrassing themselves - as the last few pages have been eye-bleeding stuff.

Weird, I can only blame my King Charles sausage fingers. Fixed.

Shame its an organisation with no spine so very little will be done as usual by other UEFA actions against these protagonists and others. Boot them both out of the competition as an example would be a fitting punishment and emphasise that they are indeed not important to European football anywhere other than their own heads, but we all know it'll be a minor fine or warning - with the same behaviours continuing both overseas and domestically.

You would be happy to see clubs kicked out of competitions for their fans displaying a mildly offensive banner (only in the sense that it has a swear word on it) or singing an inoffensive song? I think that maybe says more about you.

I'm certainly with you on the ludicrous suggestion that they be kicked out of Europe. And you're also right that Celtic fans, particularly their away support, are such an inoffensive bunch and I'm sure that they're all really nice to their mums. Just let them get on with whatever they want to do...oh wait...
