Scotland's Shame

[Peter Crowe]

Jimmy, I applaud what the Scottish government are trying to do, and like most decent minded people (regardless of their faith or lack thereof) am appalled by religious sectarianism in Scotland or elsewhere.

I don't know about the St. Ninian's tartan, but I doubt that any bona fide symbol of Scotland (whether Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, or other religion/denomination) should be cause for offence, especially in a tartan or kilted form.

As to the article in the link to the Sun regarding the scarf commemorating the visit of Pope Benedict XVI, it seems that an inexperienced Polis was a bit over zealous.

I am a wee bit concerned that this topic can stay within the rules of XMTS though.
