BLAIR SLAMS RACIST YOBS

TONY Blair yesterday condemned thugs who attacked a boy of seven and a disabled man in Scotland because they were wearing England shirts.

 

Anne Begg, Aberdeen Labour MP, asked the PM to join the "vast majority" of Scots who were horrified by the beatings.

 

Mr Blair replied at Prime Minister's Question Time: "I am sure everybody condemns what was an appalling and totally unjustifiable attack."

 

 

Hugo Clapshaw, seven, was having a kick about with his New Zealand-born dad in an Edinburgh when a yob swore and punched him in the head.

 

 

Hugo said: "I am still going to wear the top. My mum bought it for me."

 

 

Dad Damon, 34, said: "He might decide next week to support Argentina. It's not about race, he's just a kid."

 

 

Disabled Ian Smith, 41, who was wearing an England shirt and had a St George's Cross, was dragged from his car in Aberdeen. Ian, from Peterborough, Cambs, said: "I've lived in Aberdeen for years but this is the first time I've ever suffered a physical racist attack."

 

 

Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell, who had claimed he was backing Trinidad and Tobago, said through a spokesman: "They are mindless acts of violence."

 

Shitbags, Mel Gobson would be appalled - send in the Paras!

What a bunch of felchers. Attacking a kid and a disabled bloke, must have made them feel really patriotic.

Unfortunately there are some Scots (and Welsh) who seemingly measure their patriotism not by the great contrubutions both countries have made to the World but by how much they hate England/the English.

 

Sad really. I'm half-Scouse/half-Scot and I don't hate England. My dad was Scottish and didn't hate England at all.

 

I remember my mum telling me (as he died when I was a kid) that he always said was "there will always be an England... as long as Scotland stands behind it." ;)

Very few of us can be described as pure anything anymore, pure English, Scouse, Welsh whatever.

 

We are a multi-cultural society. Apparently........

I have Welsh, Scottish and English Great-Grandparents; well I would if they were alive. It's all a load of my arse.

What a waste of a question though. "Will the PM join me in condemning setting fire to babies" - "Yes, it's not nice at all".

Has Kurt heard about this yet? I think he likes his medium rare!

[Spy Bee]

This racist attack has made me hate the scottish.

[Dirk]

This racist attack has made me hate the scottish.

 

Hahahaha.

[Paul Don]

'Can the PM just fuck off please?'

[Tom R]

The Scottish are the Evertonians of the UK.

[Stu Monty]

PM's Questions:

 

"What exactly does the right honourable gentleman understand by the term Socialism?"

 

"Will the PM join me in saying that David Cameron smells of wee?"

 

"PM, Who would win in a fight between a bear and a monkey with a knife?"

[Anubis]

The Scottish are the Evertonians of the UK.

 

Does that mean we can relocate Goodison Park to Glasgow?

[Dirk]

The Scottish are the Evertonians of the UK.

 

I said that they were the Bitters of international football in another thread. Haha.

[Stouffer]

"PM, Who would win in a fight between a bear and a monkey with a knife?"

 

That's just silly Stu, everyone knows the monkey doesn't need the knife.

[Stu Monty]

That's just silly Stu, everyone knows the monkey doesn't need the knife.

 

We're talking Tony "We have a special relationship don't we George" Blair here. He's a bit slow on some things.

[Paul Don]

That's just silly Stu, everyone knows the monkey doesn't need the knife.

 

'The monkey should go straight to the police station and hand his knife into the amnesty bin of course. Another New Labour initiative might I add.'

Great minds and all that dude... great minds.

I don't know why the UK doesn't just split up and go its seperate ways, then wales and Scotland can both leach of the EU the way the Irish Republic does. What should I give a shit? There's virtually no oil or gas left in the north sea anyway!

But they do have a "special relationship". Tony's the woman.

 

George, like any good Christian would rather give than receive.
