Re Graham: The most common refrain on the SMSM comments section is, 'he hasn't been charged with anything'.
Obviously, that excuses any possible offence he could have made to a large part of the world's population.
Oh and 'freedom of speech' has reared its head a few times. Funny that, as the same people wanted to stop anyone using the term 'Hun', on the grounds it is offensive to Protestants.
I think I'm right in saying that, if a complaint is made, the police have to investigate.Quote:

'Weeg-finest' will probably be fuming the Hun have actually done this - whilst not a 'celebrity' or even a 'Big Name', Chris Graham has, over the last few years, become quite a notable figure so the question will/could/should be - 'Why wasn't this picked up by the Police themselves earlier ??'. And then possibly - 'Anti-Islam maybe but there's also Anti-Catholic/Anti-Ireland remarks ??.Quote:

Good. The only press conference of theirs I would want to watch is the one that announces their closure.Quote:

Saw a clip on the 6 o'clock news As a Club we have been getting kicked for far to long . So predictable to try and make put that it's every ones else fault really can't be bothered with all this clap trap ,but as expected the Media are lapping it all up .Quote:

Maybe hoping a wee word in the lodge will hush it all up? Could work as the media up there won't exactly dig into the background. Some appointment though; more of the same please.Quote:

I happen to have been in the company of Chris Graham as he and I have a mutual friend. Its difficult to tell from a few hours, but he seemed like a decent chap (football team excepted).
Neither was Jimmy SavilleQuote:

I've heard the lad on television and he talks well if not a little contrived......however some of his social media posts have been terrible :rolleyes:
I see he works for Chris Graham Consulting Limited. Any idea what line the business that shares his name is in.Quote:

I don't know him but I've had dealings with a number of "professionals" who are committed followers of The Rangers. These guys are not 90 minute bigots. For them it's a full-time job.Quote:

Someone of a certain persuasion has kept it in reserve, to be used when required :)Quote:

Any public appearance Choudhary would make in front of real Muslims would lead to his ridicule and castigation. Any remark he makes publicly will be carefully vetted to sustain the subtext of subversion and undermining of real Muslims because of his carefully worded government approved extremism.Quote:

The only people who may have influence over this are the sleeping Muslim Rangers fans whose commercial benefit allows them replica shirts without alcohol sponsors. I don't think for instance, rabid Celtic fans like Humza Yousuf MSP may be of use because there is no genuine dialogue between supporters of the two clubs.
Sorry, I must be missing something completely - never ever ever have I felt the urge to go on social media and mock a faith, especially at a time of heightened tensions.........I don't care who Anjem Choudhary is.........it all boils down to respect, common courtesy and basic manners..........very very few seem to have these values on Twitter - it's not about a scale of 'what offends' for me or whether one person is less popular than the rest.......it's a scale of basic common decency. He (Graham) has none and it's far far more worrying that 'Mr Due Diligence King' didn't do just that the minute he had his foot under the table at Ibrox amongst his director appointments :aok:Quote:
