Labour MP William Bain involved in sectarian scandal in Glasgow North East as Labour Activists sing anti Catholic sectarian songs

Dear All

They say you know people by the company that they keep.

Labour MP William Bain of Glasgow North East is linked to crazed internet fiend Stuart MacLennan who sings sectarian songs.

The man who played a key part in helping William Bain get elected is also a hater of ordinary working class people.

MacLennan stated on twitter;

“Lots of chavs at Stirling Station”.

Is this not sheer contempt for ordinary working class people?

This is the same guy who spent considerable time in Glasgow North East persuading ordinary working class people to vote Labour.

How he held these poor people in contempt.

A pearl of MacLennan's wisdom about standing in Moray, was complaining about being in a pub full of "depressed teuchters".

Another aspect of this story is why Labour MP William Bain thought it was acceptable to allow people working for him who sing anti Catholic sectarian songs?

What does it say that Parliamentary Aides of Labour MSPs Ken Macintosh and Pauline MacNeil sing different versions of “We will follow Rangers” employ such people?

For those of you not familiar with the tune as sung on the terraces, here it is:

Follow follow, we will follow Rangers,
Everywhere, anywhere,
We will follow on,
To Dundee, Hamilton,
F**k the Pope and the Vatican.

How many other Labour Activists who are also employed by Labour MPs and MSPs sing this type of sectarian filth?

When I first came across this Labour Party scandal, I thought it was just a case of plain swearing and chucking a bit of abuse about, the rough house of politics.

Now, I find out, it has a sectarian aspect; I am less understanding about Stuart MacLennan’s position.

Both Ross Macrae and Stuart MacLennan have to pay for their despicable behaviour; there is no place for sectarianism in Scotland.

I hope now the people of Glasgow North East know exactly the type of people that the SNP have been fighting against on their behalf.

It is only by electing SNP Candidate Billy McAllister that the people of this area can move forward, away from people who detest them and the Catholic religion.

They can make a start to a new future by voting SNP.

Yours sincerely
