pete 2,499 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Outrage after vile Ibrox disaster graffiti is daubed on building AGAIN after being painted over TWISTED vandals daubed a disused factory with the message 'die hunz 66' in reference to the Rangers fans who died in the 1971 disaster. The phrase 'Die Hunz 66', an apparent reference to the disaster, was spray painted on to the disused former Playtex factory in Port Glasgow, and was noticed earlier this month. Local Councillor David Wilson took it upon himself to remove the shocking message, and painted over it with white paint after being contacted by disgusting locals. But the twisted vandals repainted the hateful message after the Tory Councillor had taken the time to remove it, the same graffiti reappearing in the same spot. 66 Rangers fans were crushed to death at Ibrox during an Old Firm game in January of 1971, one of the worst stadium disasters in history. Cllr Wilson, who attended the game as a 21-year-old, told the Greenock Telegraph: “I will not be beaten, I will win this. “It’s disgusting that these people would do this the first time, let alone come back again.” Wilson also said that there was cross-party support from Labour and SNP representatives in the area, and claimed increased community warden patrols could prevent a third incident. Fury as swastika symbols are sprayed on Inverness buildings in overnight vandalism spree It comes just weeks after fans reacted with disgust at similar graffiti scrawled on to a wall at Ibrox which said ‘haha 66’.

ranger_syntax 4,320 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Good luck to David Wilson. Local Councillor David Wilson took it upon himself to remove the shocking message, and painted over it with white paint after being contacted by disgusting locals. Shame about that typo. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,693 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Wilson also said that there was cross-party support from Labour and SNP representatives in the area, and claimed increased community warden patrols could prevent a third incident. Preventing a third incident solves nothing. The mentality not the paint is the real issue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,744 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 why did he personally have to do that? where were the council employees? Maybe he knows that they belong to them? (And will obviously claim that they can't remove it due to some "allergic reaction" ... ) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 it might be the first time I've read of a councillor ever doing something useful If it had been Rangers graffiti over Celtic he would have had all the press in the land down to look at it before getting a council worker to paint over it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
