Following yesterday’s article on the cosy relationship between the police and Scottish Government, who are alarming a remarkably wide range of society, a flurry of information has been passed back to me, including the following notes on the Integration of Scottish Criminal Justice Information Systems (ISCJIS) database. The First Minister has stonewalled requests to breakdown religiously aggravated crime, claiming the Crown Office have destroyed their records, but my source suggests the information is available for analysis in the ISCJIS database. I’m told:
“The material stored (in the ISCJIS database) ranges from simple conviction records, to DNA, and social status. The data is used primarily for presenting Criminal History in court cases, and in identifying suspects in criminal investigations. It is also used of course to measure the social impact of changes in Legislation and Enforcement Policy, as evidenced by the current furore. It will also be used to predict the impact of such changes, particularly as regards Equality and Diversity impacts, which is a statutory requirement of any proposed Legislation. You see, the ‘missing’ data is actually necessary in predicting the impact on Equality of the Offensive Behaviour Bill.”
“Essentially, if you want to know how many Section 74 Breach of the Peace convictions (Aggravation for Religious Prejudice) or even charges, there were at a given point in time in a given court, you simply search on the Breach of the Peace Conviction Code and add the modifier code ‘P’ indicating Religious Aggravation. All such offences are then returned, with full access (rights permitted) to the Reports and Case Notes.”
To assist the First Minister, below is information on what the enquiry form he has to complete looks like. This is a link to the operation manual and if he’s really stuck he can call the helpdesk on 0141-585 – 8333.
We can only speculate why the authorities are so reluctant to disclose information on, on a subject so close to their hearts.

Its got me questioning my future support for the SNP .
An independent Scotland makes sense to me but the SNP have blundered here.
Scottish Labour would certainly not tackle the real sectarian issue .
Pheersy.
They have failed to take any action to protect the reputation of their supporters from repeated abuse in the media. Their inaction has brought us to this point where it is open season on anything Celtic.
Weather calmin’ down a bit after a pretty stormy night.
However, on the wireless it’s saying that Michelle McManus is still closed to high sided vehicles, so take care.
Bamboo.
An independent Scotland would be a nightmare with these bigots in charge.
Dont expect Nicky Campbell to nail them . He has his own hun-like traits.
What a shock he must have had when he found out his dad was in the ra.
Is Ian Black any good as a decorator?
You wouldn’t want him to tackle Artexing your living room ceiling the way he tackles anyone in a greenandwhite jersey.
The Honest Mista Kano
I would hope in an independent Scotland sectarianism would wither and die .
bamboo
It certainly gave him a new perspective to find out he was Irish!
Dontbattbakkinanger
I think where Black is concerned you should substitute the word “kick or hack” for tackle!
So you would find your living-room wall covered in stud marks.
Morning all from gay Paree, temps du jour: overcast at the moment, some rain and THUNDER later.
Nobody told me Lenny was in town
;o)
LEADING lawyer Paul McBride last night offered to take on Vladimir Romanov for FREE – and help save Christmas for Hearts’ skint players.
Scotland’s top QC made the staggering offer as the Tynecastle club continued to reel from the financial crisis which has now seen Paulo Sergio’s top team stars go almost a month without being paid.
Record Sport revealed yesterday how the players are ready to hire their own brief in a bid to force Romanov to stump up wages or let them rip up their contracts in January.
Now McBride – who commands up to £5000 a day – says he’ll represent the players for free.
He said: “These players have been doing their best for the club and fans in a terrible situation.
“Christmas is coming, many are not on high wages with children and families to look after. It’s the least I can do to help.”
The next set of monthly pay packets are due on Friday but sources at the club admit there’s little prospect of the £216,000 wage bill arriving.
That means the players will have gone without any pay for November and December – receiving just a £1000-a-head emergency handout from the club.
It’s understood some players are even considering taking second jobs to help get themselves through the festive period.
Record Sport has learned that boardroom level talks are ongoing on a daily basis between Hearts and parent company UBIG.
But although Romanov is in charge of both, UBIG’s directors are refusing to bankroll the wages – and the Lithuanian hasn’t ordered them into action.
The players’ plight has been made worse by what they perceive as a lack of guidance from their own union, the SPFA.
They want to know their legal position and at what point they’d be entitled to quit the club.
If Romanov continues to stall on his promises, many of the players will look to terminate their deals in time to allow themselves to move as free agents in January.
McBride said: “The club is in breach of contract and the players could go at anytime.
“Alternatively, the players could have the club’s assets seized in the same way as some former directors did recently when they were in dispute with Rangers.
“The players wouldn’t be picking up the costs, that would be the responsibility of Hearts because what they have done to their employees is completely and utterly unacceptable.”

I wouldn’t let him near my ballcock, that’s all I’m saying.
Bamboo.
So would we all but the only way that sectarianism is going to wither and die is the government, police and media covering up attacks on Catholics.
I wonder if Lenny is looking at any of the Hearts Players. Zaliukas is a decent player.
up-over-goal –so he throws in a bit of the ole plumbin’ as well?
He certainly has a right foot like a monkey wrench, if you want your knee re-arranged.
Paul McBride desperately trying to ingratiate himself with the hun-side now.
Good Morning CQN
Gets out of our shower which only ever seems to have two settings, – first degree burns or skinny dipping in the Bering Sea.
Has anyone who regulary watches the youth teams seen anything of that Romanian wonderkid Dumitru Copil who chose to join Hearts after agreeing to join us. Is he still there?
‘ Record Sport’
Hunguff Central.
No point in making their job any easier.

Morning all, a mate of mine and fellow QNer, (Smashing Milk Bottles) is heading to Udini on the chartered flight with the team, he is desperate to find an Irish pub anywhere within a 50 mile radius of Udini. Can any1 help?
Also, for those that post on Celtic minded, Can u ask on CMfor me please? Grateful for any assistance, my E Mail address is rocarrol@revenue.ie I’d appreciate an E Mail if some1 has info, as I’ll be CQN very infrequently today. Cheers Bhoys and Ghirls.

Roccobhoy.
I don’t know what to make of this action by the board as yet, but it looks as if they have an agenda against the Green Brigade.
If they do they are tearing at the heart of the club, what do they expect to gain?
The GB have already shown they can rise above this, when sining at the last couple of games they haven’t sung the so called illicit chant, just stopped singing and said “shhh”, if all the authorities can find is one chant, illicit, it UEFA terms, then we don’t have far to go to negate their attempts at criminalising and marginalising our support. The Green Brigade should be celebrated as a credit to the club, not castigated by the club.
I was in section113, very close to the GB at the Madrid game, they were relentless, noisy, energetic, supportive of the team,and an absolute joy to be close to. You could see lots of people wanting to get involed. They don’t just add to the atmosphere, they add to the spectacle, the experience of supporting Celtic, the only critism would be I didn’t sit down for the whole game(old legs couldnae take it)
What we need from the club is clarity, will we get it, or will there be more,” everyone nows the songs we’re talking about”.
I don’t, will i get banned from CP for singing Highland Paddy, or The Boys of the Old Brigade?
TuppenceworthCSC
Unrepentant.
Loovenator out for 10 days.
Radio Scotland just now. Debate about the new bill. Les Gray just admitted prior to going to the news that the Huns were singing the ‘usual songs’ all the way through the game at Easter Road. No-one asked him why no arrests were made.
I do believe that very soon the Celtic support will have come to a cross roads and it will split in two.
Those who have been conditioned into accepting that they are the eternally downtrodden and will never be treated with equality. The Stockholm syndrome sufferers as I call them. The cap in hand stare at the floor shrug the shoulder types. PERFECT CELTIC OLD FIRM TURNSTILE FODDER
….. and those that will not accept that role.
As I said in my posts last night we are about to find out if we have Old Firm custodians or Celtic custodians at the helm.
ONE THING IS FOR SURE WE HAVE WITNESSED NOTHING BUT OLD FIRM CUSTODIANSHIP UNDER THE PRESENT BOARD.
ARE THEY FINANCIAL PARASITES OR GOOD CELTIC MEN ?
WELL WE ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

It is possible – I must make an effort not to be cynical.
I do think he’ll have got a real shock to his system at the establishment reaction to his defense of Neil Lennon and his public support for Celtic.
Not to mention “parcels’ in the post.
Celts Celts the Gaels are here
Romanov has paid his tax why has Paul Mc Bride not intervened on behalf of HMRC to get the PAYE and NIC that Craig Whyte has not been paying ?
If Romanov had done the same as Whyte he could afford another four months worth of wages.
Hail Hail
Have to say after the Board’s latest shamble I start another day feeling thoroughly disgusted with them; I think more sickened and angry than I have ever felt.
There is only one way to get through to Lawwell and these muppets. Stop spending money and drive down revenues. No more buying Celtic merchandise; stop buying strips, programmes etc. They have trodden over the fans in an unbelievably insulting manner.
I am truly disgusted by them and will not spend another penny that assist Lawwell collect his bonus.
Sammi the loansome gunman tonight?

Excellent story. My wife is currently expecting our first and I have already christened him Henrik. She thinks I’m joking!
Although I do like your daughter’s name. I might steal that :-)

SNP spokesman says he’s not familiar with the words of the Billy Boys, then proceeds to say ‘it’s wrong to sing about being up to your knees in anyone’s blodd’….

My poor response (iyo) was due to me holding the view that I accept the clubs statement on the matter, they were shown and accepted the evidence. So to use your analogy, they saw the knife and thought it prudent to accept the punishment.

quote from roseanna cunningham SNP in todays sun….”the offensive chanting of a minority of fans has already led to uefa taking action against 2 scots clubs and the actions of those fans has brought shame on scotland”
yeah roseanna think scotlands shame and then come back to us.
Noticed a beauty from hamza Yousef this morning on Radio Scotland. When challenged that people need to know what they can and can’t sing he responded (I paraphrase):
“They know what you can and can’t sing. If you give them a ‘naught list’ they’ll just change the words and the tune.”
Er excuse me but if the words are changed to something that’s not offensive that’s a different song. Also since when could a melody be offensive?

Thanks for the reply last night. Whilst I have always known some pubs show 3:00 games it was a surprise to see them openly advertise the fact even (probably illegally) using SKY & ESPN logos on the their publicity material.
The genie is out of the bottle and it will be hard to put it back in!
