To be fair The Sunday Herald has been by far the most outspoken of the Scottish press in regard to sectarianism. Indeed, politically it is undoubtedly the most liberal minded of mainstream papers printed in Scotland. That no doubt says much about the narrow spectrum of opinion that is allowed to be published but still makes it the least offensive read available, hence the reason it's the only paper I ever buy.
I am sorry, I'm not convinced.

I think the Sunday Herald joins that fairly extensive list of Scottish institutions that would rather sectarianism didn't exist but don't really do anything practical to stop it. I suspect they probably regard it as too much of a business risk to take it head on.

The paper features the occasional piece, publishes the odd letter and regurgitates press releases from the likes of Nil by Mouth, Celtic and Rangers. But it doesn't add up to much other than to say sectarianism is bad, please dont do it.

Maybe I am being totally idealist. But where are the campaigns? Where are the name and shame pieces? Where is the zero tolerance to organisations who perpetuate the situation? And in the name of vuck how can the paper seriously present Celtic and Rangers as the solution to the problem?
