CelticRollerCoaster and the Walk With Shay team kindly wrote this piece to update you how your efforts thus far have progressed. I read stuff like this in genuine awe of the people I call friends. Well done to each and everyone one of you.
I posted a more detailed (and excellent) read on the subject a moment ago, which you can view here. Here’s CelticRollerCoaster:
As you know by now as part of our incredible journey to date, we managed to obtain the signatories of the last 11 Club Captains of Celtic on two tops; one home and one away. Two very special and unique tops covering 53 years of unbroken history. The professionally designed and framed Away Club Captains top is First Prize in our Walkwithshay raffle along with many other amazing Celtic prizes, with the draw being made on May 25th at Celtic Park so only 20 days left. The Celtic FC Foundation will also benefit in the share of proceeds.
To date, we’ve had an incredible response from all over the country and indeed worldwide (as far as Australia and Bermuda believe it or not) with just over 2,000 tickets already out there being sold by our amazing Green Raffle Army and directly by ourselves, but don’t worry we’ve kept some back just for you!
So, if you have still not bought your tickets, to win some of the incredible prizes on offer and also help these two great causes, please get in touch now.
Remember you can buy tickets by contacting the campaign team directly via the usual methods such as email walkwithshay@yahoo.com, Facebook and Twitter @walkwithshay or from one of our many Green Raffle Army sellers.
We will also be at outside the pools office at the start of the concourse (CQN corner) from 1:30pm prior to the game on Saturday if you wish to pick up tickets from us then.
As well, as the Club Captains Away top, our other amazing prizes include:
A full list of the prizes can be obtained by emailing us at: walkwithshay@yahoo.com

There was a mention, yesterday I think, at the High Court that the huns couldn’t get a consumer credit licence because of one of the directors (and this affected them being able to issue or use credit card facilities).
Was anything made of that?

Spot on.
Its culture isnt it….Kardashian culture.
If you tell modern day kids about growing up poor in grey industrial Glasgow, they just laugh, dont get it.
I dont blame them, however its a sign of a shifting generational flux.
Socialist ideology had the heart ripped out of it through Thatcherism…the solution to working class solidarity, was to destroy industry.
Its all gone now.
What has replaced it….is the bourgeois culture of shiny things, with no questions asked.
Sad.

McGill agrees Rangers came close to breaching their overdraft limit in 2010. Says bank could have begun insolvency proceedings
Why didn’t they? Now had it been Celtic….
On BBC a Political Expert said ” Just because the Tories have won Shettleston, does NOT mean they got the MOST VOTES” ?
Now I really am confused ???
tories gaining more seats in Ayrshire as I type…The Hun is on the march..Heaven help us.

Not really. They are living in the past.
The reality is that Brexit isn’t going to advance socialism at all. It’s just a pipe dream to think that it is. Comforting but wrong.
There are parallels with the so called left nationalists in Scotland.
The Green Man says SACK THE Board
I think that’s partially true and partially unfair.
I think a lot of kids are knowledgeable and engaged, however I also accept that some young people are vacuous diddies. But that has always been the case and always will be. Middle-aged stupid people we see now were once young stupid people.
And btw, with regard to your Kardashian comment…Jeremy Corbyn really needs to get on Instagram…

That’s a flattering term
Apparently under the Scottish system…you only need to win 25% of the vote to gain a seat in Council elections ?
Does that mean that in Shettleston for example the other Party votes have “Cut each other Up” ?

Your parents are far from unusual.
At practically any university/college,the leanings are generally socially democratic.
As life progresses,that idealism is replaced by reality and pragmatism. If you’re struggling to pay bills for a new home and family,a tax cut,for example,sounds just the job!
I think this is the problem Labour created,to be honest. They once said to those in need,with little but a vote to their name
Vote for us,we will listen,we will force change. We will empower you,give you access to the housing,education,employment that has been denied you for so long
Which they did.
And then they realised that doing so successfully meant there were fewer people for whom that message of hope resonated-because of their success!
I could go on,but you see my point. Labour no longer speaks to their core voter because Labour policies made those core voters aspirational.
Heyho,one thing for sure-no opposition to the tories will benefit damn few who have deserted Labour.

ERNIE LYNCH on 5th May 2017 12:52 pm
Now that was very funny! And apt.
However, on 5th May 2017 12:56 pm I disagree; it’s not living in the past but trying to hold onto traditional values. Whilst you can argue that leaving the EU may not advance Socialism, leaving it will certainly oppose the advancement globalization one the capitalism of the EU cabals.
IMHO you don’t give up the values you have; you fight from within and try to change. Sadly the left-wing militants were all kicked out of the Labour Party in the ’80’s and look at what we are left with now!

In reality what’s the difference ?
Will all the Tory gains mean that the SNP will increasingly revert to the Tartan Torres to outdo the May Tories.
Particularly pertinent outside the central belt.

##
Such things will go on regardless. And the weakening of one cabal will be matched by the strengthening of another. There’s nothing progressive about Brexit. It has set the mood music for the foreseeable future and it’s not going to be nice. That’s the hard reality. Theorising about international cabals is just indulgence.
BMCUWP, you said “I could go on,but you see my point. Labour no longer speaks to their core voter because Labour policies made those core voters aspirational.”
No they didn’t; Thatcherism made people selfish and greedy and the “New Labour” move to the right embraced that greed and philosophy to get elected.
The electorate was so disillusioned when Blair came to power that I would argue they would still have won (maybe not as handsomely) with a proper socialist mandate rather than the new right policies they rode to power on.
IMHO it has all been greed and selfishness since 1979.

” Heyho ,one thing for sure -no opposition to the Tories will benefit damn few who have deserted Labour “.
Absolutely !.
Brexit was a hard right Trojan Horse .. The related Great Repeal Bill will give the Horribles( with a big majority) the ability to correct the Statute Book whenever/ however they want.. An elected dictatorship of the Right beckons. A Government with a fabby do mean streak..
Lunch break over -way down south. Back to the diggin.

Council elections in Scotland use the Single Transferrable Voting system. It’s worth ranking all candidates according to your preference. Useful explanation here :

Yeah….1979 was a turning point.
Long term plan, thats now paying off.
Working class solidarity was the danger to Thatcher, she pulled the rug from under our feet.
A world vanished to be replaced by the corruption and graft of the sharp-elbowed.
To think that the Tories won in Shettleston, boggles this auld rebel’s mind:)

In evening RAG Today
Emergency services are currently tackling a major blaze in Ibrox.
Scottish Fire and Rescue and Police Scotland were called to the scene on Copland Road shortly before 10am on Friday.
Three fire engines and crews are dealing with the incident which is thought to have started in a portable hut.
A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We are in attendance at an incident at an address in Copland Road, Glasgow.
“We were called at around 9.52am to reports of a building
“The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was alerted at 9:52am to reports of portable accommodation on fire at Copland Rd near Ibrox.
“Three appliances were subsequently mobilised.
“Crews are using powerful hoses to tackle the flames and remain at the scene.”
on fire among the portable accommodation units on the street.
“We have sent three appliances to the scene and powerful hoses are in operation.”
Is the “Portable Hut” the Huns Boardroom ?

Taking your political argument that independence is the only alternative to a Tory future then conversely you have to accept that if you do not believe financial devastation is a road to go then in Scotland you have no option but vote Tory. When shettleston goes blue I really wonder where it will all end!

Yes, her insidious plan is still bearing fruit. Meanwhile, in the 1980’s and 90’s all the “neo-socialists” in the Labour Party expelled the true socialists (along wi’ a few nutters). We were left (sic) with Blair, Brown, Darling,

No. I’m merely pointing out that your argument about derailing international cabals is no more than wishful thinking.
The left support of Brexit was driven by nostalgia for a lost age (or, more likely, the individuals lost youth).
