Nicola Sturgeon is “disappoint­ed” by the vote to scrap a controvers­ial law aimed at tackling sectariani­sm at football.

“Nicola Sturgeon ‘disappoint­ed’.” But nowhere near as disappoint­ed as Scotland is with Nicola Sturgeon.

Another flagship piece of legislatio­n in the bin.

That pesky democracy, eh! Always getting in the way.

Ulcerating Soon

Sectariani­sm at Old Firm games probably gives the fans a chance to deflect their attention from the standard of football they are being over charged to watch. I caught the “highlights” of Ross County vs Killie the other night – a good argument for taking up knitting.

It might be poor legislatio­n, but it’s SNP poor legislatio­n so of course she’ll defend it.

Spooked

If the SNP had listened to the opposition parties giving suggestion­s for improvemen­ts and actually improved it before it was implemente­d it wouldn’t have come to this either

Paul Mclean

This piece of legislatio­n wasn’t an attack on sectariani­sm - sectariani­sm is widespread in Scotland beyond the football stadiums. It was an attack on the working classes, the very people who helped the SNP get a large number of their own folk into the Scottish Executive.

So why not make a real effort in ridding ourselves of this vile behaviour – attack it at its roots – de-segregate our schools.

NEXT... Named Person Scheme.
