Boycott of gay march may cost firefighters jobs

These firemen are stationed a stones throw from where I live. A year before the Gay Pride march the same watch were involved in a huge chemical blast at a paint factory in Maryhill Rd and saved many lives and brought out others dead. They have been very badly treated. The local BNP branch organised petitions citywide and demonstrations outside the fire station. The Labour controlled council refused to defend the men and their union hung them out to dry. My ancestors would have turned in their graves to see me sign anything in the street handed to me by a guy with a BNP badge but no one else supported the firemen proactively.

Thanks Cat.

I want to see them all vindicated and their discipline record cleared.

Well done in supporting them.

Their job is putting out fires, not handing out leaflets. If they're there mixing it with the sodomites, how can they be available for emergency calls?

Actually, a significant part of their job is fire prevention.
Distributing leaflets to whomever is one method of disseminating information.

Oliver, Thanks for that long and hugely interesting piece on the Pop promoter. Please pass on to him my regards and full support for his actions. Power to his elbow.

Hello there Woj

The story goes, you never should ask George a question unless you have at least three hours for his answer.

He does eventually get there. :shock:
