Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 70 Tommy Sheridan, Political Activist
Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 70 with More than 90 Minutes, Editor Andrew Milne chatting to Tommy Sheridan.
Tommy Sheridan is a political activist, a former SMP, Celtic Fan and even popped up on celebrity big brother and has been very active in the Scottish Independence movement.
The conversation kicks off with Tommy and Andrew looking back over last season as Neil Lennon, Peter Lawell and Scott Brown all signed off at Celtic. While they look back and ask did the rot set in before Brendan Rodgers left the club? and talk about a recent interview with John McGinn where he spoke about what went wrong with him signing to Celtic before he headed for Birmingham and signed to Aston Villa.
Modern Football gets a going over and how important it is to have unity among the Celtic support with the vulture funds circling for a bigger piece of the pie as Super League/ New Champions League gets closer with each passing season.
The level of hatred, anti-Irish anti Catholic bile witnessed last Saturday in Georges Square when business premises were forced to close as the Rangers fans are called out once again for their actions. History tells us that their actions are nothing new and we must keep calling it out for what it is but if they showed Glasgow in a bad light while in the Pollokshields, local residents came out to stop two people from being taken from their homes, who the Police said were illegal immigrants, showed the true spirit of Glasgow. One City, Many Cultures.
Tommy goes onto speak with compassion when he talks about the Scotland he wants to live in which leads into the recent Scottish elections and the support that is growing for another referendum for an Independent Scotland while a border poll in Ireland also gets closer.
Palestine gets discussed, the solidarity showed by Celtic fans from the terraces and stands of Celtic Park and the disappointment of the club taking down the recent display of solidarity in an empty stadium as innocent Palestinian men, woman and children are bombed and murdered on a daily basis by War Criminals masquerading as victims.
Tommy jumps into the Celtic Soul Time Machine and goes back to Dixie Deans making the headlines in Cup Finals and European Semi Finals with the backdrop of the Miners being on strike as Glasgow homes fell into darkness.
