EddardStark Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) What the fukk is funny about it?its not meant to be serious. If it was then burning a guy on any bonfire should be banned. As I have said this has gone on for years. We are too precious on these things. Salmond laughed it off in an interview tonight. Fair play to him.

Armchair Bob Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Makes sense to me. What is the original 'guy' after all but an effigy of the man who attempted to blow up Westminster, and nearly succeeded. (Although I have my reservations about the traditional symbolism since my Catholic wife explained it to me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sorry what? Burning effigies of Alex Salmond, with 45% badges and thistles and tartan and 'Nessies' attached to it. Seeing the usual apologists on here trying to excuse this filth is no surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Has we all had a humour by pass? Alex Salmond certainly hasn't... "I think it is totally outrageous.

Hertsscot Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 He's right though eddard you always find some way of apologising for anti scottish shit. Whether it's the English or your hunn brethren, there's always a limp excuse from you. The problem is the double standards, we know exactly the abuse and accusations from MSM if this were a unionist politician on a Scottish bonfire. And okay if you're burning an effigy of a politician that's one thing but when you start bringing in other Scottish symbols that broadens it and makes it something else. Though hey Eddard some of your unionist friends like setting fire to the emblems of Scotland if my memory serves me right about the post referendum events in George Square.

King Of Paisley Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Imagine the uproar via the State Broadcaster if, say, North Lanarkshire Council advertised the burning of an effigy of Call Me Dave at the Strathie Park bonfire night.

Watsoniansfan Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 This is my kind of Burns night. What a Bonniefire. Looks like it's Salmond's feet to the fire. Penny for the guy? Nope, get your own currency. Amusing, but not as funny as the reaction from humourless Yessers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I don't actually see it as a major deal but what gets me is we know fine well what the reaction would be were it us burning any of the English establishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
