RANGERRAB 3,701 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 In the name of God...Reid's party have been out of office since 2010, and he left office in 2007. A Conservative government has been in place since 2010 and has done nothing - ABSOLUTELY FUCK ALL - to get Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs off our backs. But aye, it was all John Reid's fault and if only we'd had a Tory govt. we'd have been OK. This is sheer folly, man. So because he left office he had no influence and wasnt up to anything???? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So because he left office he had no influence and wasn't up to anything???? Most likely, no, he'd have found - like all politicians - that once the patronage of office is removed from them, what they thought was their all pervasive, magnetic personal power turned out to be a chimera. And even if his Labour successors at the Home Office did his bidding, like some London based Ariels dancing to the tune of a green & white Prospero, it seems a little unlikely that their Conservative counterparts did likewise. I apologise for bringing politics up again - if it draws an admin 'shut up or get lost', fair enough. But when posters continually, and apparently quite sincerely ignore who and what has been front and centre in roasting us on the spit these recent years, there's no way to avoid it. As a collective fan base we put the British state up there on a pedestal and it thanked us by kicking us in the balls. Rangers fans singing 'Rule Brittania' is, in the light of events, just about the most insane thing you'll see this or any other year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree rab he has definitely been meddling in the background but proving when and how would be like nailing jelly to the wall. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Andrew a similar line of argument was proposed by some of the author's In Born Under a Union Flag. Perhaps had there been a more vociferous criticism, a genuine desire by Holyrood MP's to get some answers, particularly from HMRC, then your argument would have some merit. As it stands to date - while Westminster MP's at leats conducted some kind of enquiry http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-18706453 Holyrood appears to have done nothing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My argument is not, despite what some froth-spitting dude posted in reply, that in the Utopian Socialist Workers' Paradise we'd have been fine. It's that what happened to us happened under the auspices of the UK govt. and has continued under the auspices of the UK govt., despite Rab's best attempts to pin it on Reid. I recall chastising politicians of any stripe in a thread a few days ago, which would include SNP in whichever legislature. Accepting that we've been royally shafted by (amongst others) the Westminster body so many Bears favour does not mean you have to become a rabid Nationalist. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's the biggest case of unrequited love in history. The "Queens XI" is the one that amuses me most though, the thought that the Saxe Coburg / Battenberg / Windsors have the faintest idea who or what Rangers are supposed to be is absurd and how Her Majesty could allow such loyal subjects to be...subject...to the agony that Rangers fans have gone through at the hands of "The Revenue" is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, but I think I've probably pushed my luck bringing my politics onto the board as far as it will go! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
