No, the police havent said that, a spokesman from a body representing Superintendent ranks has said that the legislation requires more training because its a complex piece of legislation. There is also concern that because people are seeing this as some kind of culture war thing (with folks like Rowling who know that certain things arent criminal but uses the furore around the bill from people who havent read it) means that people will make thousands of additional reports that will put strain on a police service that has been cut to the bone.

And despite the conspiracy theorists most of the arrests are for anti-catholic slurs.

Most disclosure checks are pass/fail result type things. Most people will pass a disclosure check. An organisation wont be told ‘Peil was reported for a hate incident’ they’ll be told you’ve passed a check. People with a criminal record can pass a disclosure check. Its all about the type of work undertaken and the risk etc. ie they wont pass someone with sexual or physical abuse of children for something, but someone who did time for a housebreaking 20 years ago will be fine working in a community centre etc. Each case is assessed on its own merits and honestly being noted on the aforementioned ivpd system for something proven to be a ‘no crime’ will not impact a disclosure check. I’ve undergone vetting and been in a role where I’ve done certain aspects of vetting or highlighted information that is relevant to vetting bodies and genuinely dont feel that this legislation will change the goal posts for anyone. All it really does is take lots of individual pieces of legislation and streamline them into one act. I’ll maybe need to stop calling my dad an auld codger though…

If you’ve been a suspect in a crime and its proven that you’ve not committed a crime or been subject of a malicious complaint then the crime report is marked ‘no crime’ and it would not negatively impact a disclosure check.

Thats not true.

Oh no i agree, they heavily edited a video of David Kennedy and it appears to give a slant that they oppose the act, which isnt in any way what the actual rhetoric was. i was just trying to be clear here as theres obviously folks who just want to be outraged all the time.

Just to be completely clear, the criticism from Police groups is more to do with the fact they’ve created legislation which really would require in person training and the government has defunded the police to the extent that this cant be done. The Scottish Police Federation doesnt object to legislation being put in place to deal with hate crime, simply the delivery is poor. I dont see it having any impact on free speech in any way really.

We’ve been shite since xmas? Dont know how else to put it.

We’ve been out of contention for weeks? Theres no throwing, just not good enough, need a complete rebuild ala how Talbot are doing, need a keeper, central midfielder and to punt the deadwood.

I dont think Bobs all round game is ready for the pga tour. But hes made what $600,000?ish? Thats not bad but he must have hoped to be performing better?

He would move for a bad court thingy.

I heard about Lafferty to Burgh about 2 weeks before the announcement, it was actually a running joke with another lad i know who ran a podcast that ‘surely theyre not waiting for the 12th to announce it’. It absolutely was intentional, any revisionist nonsense suggesting it wasnt is a desperate attempt to try and appeal to the people who were disgusted by it. My wee boy is getting involved in Football in the area and it absolutely cemented that Burghs youth teams wouldnt even be considered.

Keep telling yerself that.

Announced he’s officially been charged.

I had a soft spot for Burgh over the years, but the whole announcing signings on the 12th july etc i think the west prem could do without that crap.

Dont think Laird gets the credit he deserves, $22,000,000 career earnings, 4 pga tour wins, guy just grinds away and earns good money quietly going about his business. I think he’d have more wins on the DP world but obviously seems to have it dialled in on the pga tour. There must be worse ways to make a living?

I get that some dont like satans carpets but i think thats a pretty good stat.

Yes and is this game off due to the pitch being frozen tonight?

Thats what’s slowly happening all over the world, the left has disappeared up its arse with in fighting and the right wing is lapping it up and doing what they can to step ever further right because the opposition has destroyed itself.

Its not about the cost, its about the integrity, the snp put themselves up as the anti-tory, we all know the tories are corrupt.

Far be it for me to ‘defend’ talbot but theres plenty places football or not football related that i wouldnt spend my money. They’re rightly quite angry at the ticketing nonsense/rip off ahead of a big game for them/junior football fans. Youre being hysterical about one lone suggestion of naming and shaming and failing to see that its not happening.

Does bob not have an agent? For a guy trying to compete in America he’s really fucking over his potential sponsorship value considering how touchy the yanks get about anything which challenges their superiority complex. Dont get me wrong, im all in defending bob in comments elsewhere but cant help feel its daft here amongst the p&b boab faithful.

My mon-fri is £68 a month direct debit, no minimum bar spend etc either and much better course.

Come to the Carrick, no mats all year, full greens and rarely closed.

Yeh on the whole i mean i couldnt care less, im just wondering if it comes to selling out 100 tickets who do they decide has to pay more?
