No need to put inverted commas around the word journalist when the person involved is clearly a journalist btw. I don’t see the issue with mocking fat bigots just because they’re dead... What’s black and doesn’t work? Bernard Manning’s kidneys. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The big man was so staunch and hated Celtic so much he even refused to eat his greens. His loyalty served him well. He defended the faith until death. Requiescat in pace, big fella. Requiescat in pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s black and doesn’t work? Bernard Manning’s kidneys.You don’t see a problem with a well known hack publicly taking a cheap shot out of a complete stranger who had passed away recently.Spiers clearly did, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken it down. Why should the guy’s family and friends be subjected to such callous insensitivity, irrespective of your views on the OO.Whatever floats your boat I guess. Bernard Manning made a career out of his intolerance and racism, but was unashamedly, cringingly open about it and played to an eager gallery.Spiers has done the exact same, only under a thinly disguised cover as a serious scribe. His bigotry and hatred are still in the same vein albeit deliberately concealed and are just as divisively damaging. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who take part in these parades leave themselves open to criticism. Its a shame for the guys family he’s died but just because someone dies doesnt mean them taking part in what is essentially Scotland’s shame is beyond parody. Its very noble of you to defend the man’s honour and perhaps yes we should have more respect for the dead, so as soon as the orange lodge apologises to the families of the jewish people killed by the nazis after they awarded a family dressed up in Nazi clothing, or apologises to the family of every black person lynched by the KKK when they allowed people to wear their robes at events then I’ll be the first to join you demanding an apology for that guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Seriously, look at the state of that c**t. Is it to anyone’s surprise that he’s dead? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) As I see it Speirs didn’t know he was dead then removed it when he found out in case it upset a grieving family member. PnB’s Orange Walk and Cricket thread is a less likely platform for a orangeman’s grieving family to be on compared to twitter so it’s not worth removing or holding back our comments. I would also presume followfollow types would have been retweeting Speirs’ tweet to express their outrage and would’ve increased the likelihood of a grieving family member seeing it exponentially. Such is the irony of social media outrage and witch-hunts. Edited July 4, 2018 by The OP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
