Part of the reason the ‘Famine Song’ was considered Irish-Catholic racism in the High Court was import and sentiment directly linked to ‘Menace of The Irish Race’ text.

(1) Occupational parity for Irish Catholics:

USA = 1901.

Australia and New Zealand = 1920s

Scotland = 2001.

2023 marks 100 years since the Church of Scotland produced its infamous report calling for the repatriation of Catholic Irish people from Scotland. How far has our country come since then? Don't Let It Be Forgot - Menace:

(2) Should we consider the fact that we DO now have occupational parity as progress?

What do we read in to the starling disparity in the numbers where Irish Catholics settled compared to Scotland?

That we can not OPENLY discriminate in housing and employment are signs of progress?

(3) Only yesterday this chant was heard on national TV and radio and nobody flinched or mentioned it.

It’s almost twice a week now and it’s painted as some form of pageantry and enabled.

Again, another chant directly linked to 1920s Scotland, import and sentiment.

(4) 18 months ago there was a march up the middle of Glasgow where police were present and they did nothing other than escort the crowd.

Is the enabling of this not a more discreet violence - less about progress and more about how it’s shifted in to other areas and allowed?

(5) Every year we have marches all over Scotland that has the same import and sentiment as 1920s Scotland.

Though I would state that the Church of Scotland have shown the way regarding this.

But it’s serial and pronounced and we do very little about it.

Not progress, it’s enabling.

(6) This thread below is about how the Famine Song was reported and ignored by many powerful factions in Scotland at the time.

How we deal with this and enable it IS structural snd institutional.

(7) “The week following its debut, concerns about the “Famine Song” were raised with SPL, SFA and Rangers officials; however, no official action was taken.”

All ignored

(8) We always have to go outside of Scotland to deal with it and get external powers to step in.

What does that say?

(9) It wasn’t until government and human rights commission got involved that the police received orders to arrest.

(10) We paint this problem as a thing lost in the mists of time. We were 100 years behind everywhere else, and nobody cares to ask why and what are the repercussions present day. 

 (11) The last of the anti-irish Penal Laws was only abolished here in the North of Ireland earlier this year. 

(12) Loyalist Culture, Timmy
