Sectarian misogyny in action right there.

Scary Bear Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I recall hearing workmates (male ones) from Linlithgow talking about this Black Bitch thing. Something about being born within the town boundary making you one. It seemed to be a thing they were proud of. Haven’t we done this thread. This is like de ja vu.

One time we were even asked to leave for singing One Directions - History. It's a backwards pub with a backwards outlook on life.

ICTChris Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 The story is that a debtor was abandoned on an island on LInlithgow Loch to starve but his faithful dog, a black greyhound bitch, would swim to his island every night with food to keep him alive. When she was found she was similarly imprisoned on the loch to starve to death. The town took the black bitch as it's coat of arms and those born within the confines of the town are collequally known as 'black bitches'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
