OBFA Route To Repeal

Published: Jan. 12, 2018, 12:34 a.m.

b'The Offensive Behaviour At Football act - a more usless piece of legislation I\\u2019ve yet to come across, but that\\u2019s not my opinion, that\\u2019s the view of lawyers, judges, civil liberty campaigners, minority rights groups and of course the evidence of our own eyes and ears and the evidence of government statistics. If it was nmeant to stop a problem it has completely failed.

Regular listeners will know my issues with OBFA - one is that the legislation was not needed - we had laws for dealing with racisim and sectarianism and behaviour likely to cause trouble.
It\\u2019s not very good - we\\u2019ve had to train the police what is and isn\\u2019t offensive so that they can arrest people and they are the only people being offended.
It tries to wrap up socities ills - if we have offensive behaviour at football it will exist in society as a whole so why try to wrap it up in a nice bundle and say the issues are all a football one.

I could go on but surely better to have someon at the heart of matters discuss so we have Paul Qyugley from Fans Against Criminalisation.

Enjoy and then please take action\\u2026'
