Nobody has really addressed he elephant in the room that is catholics and protestants.
Scotland’s history decided if you were one of them or one of us and so the two cheeks prospered based on this religious bigotry fanned quite well by segregating schools (great idea that one).
In my school there were lots of **** that supported who their dad supported even though the religious aspects had been diluted i.e no many of them went to church but they still hated the other side - the bigotry was now ingrained.
One or two of my pals recognised this aspect of supporting the cheeks was not right saw the light and started going to Love Street - those guys are the ones I really admire.
