beep0608 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I spot flaw in your plan there. I'm guessing here but I imagine a reasonable percentage of our support, of which I include myself, comes from people who are massively turned off by the politics of the OF. That doesn't mean I hate politics - quite the opposite. I hate bigotry and that makes me political. I support Thistle BECAUSE I'm anti-bigotry, anti racist, anti-prejudice. As a previous poster said, if we say we support people of all convictions then that's a nice sentiment until you realise it includes those elements you despise for their own politics of exclusion. Thistle should be about excluding bigots. In a city like ours, it's impossible not to have a stance. Disliking the politics of the OF is a stance in itself. We can keep turning the other cheek, but it isn't bringing the crowds. If we aren't relevant, then we're just irrelevant. That makes sense to me. It looks like we're not going to get a consensus here though surely we're all united against bigotry and sectarianism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
