That's the telling part. Apparently it's just moronic but not specifically sectarian. Fuck sake. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's just moronic but not specifically sectarian. Fuck sake. Expand There are several instances of yahoos referring to themselves as F*nians. If we call them F*nians it is roundly condemned as sectarian. The word F*nian has very little to do with religion. It is a political ideology. The term H*n is derogatory and due to the way it is used by sections of British society it is now considered sectarian in UK courts of law. But the press don't acknowledge this when it it used about us. I'd prefer it if we could call each other whatever the Hell we wanted and all the thin-skinned offence seekers focused on polo or rugby. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
