Much ink has been spilled over the shenanigans of the James Dornan, SNP MSP and amateur Hate-Finder General. Just last week the gaffe-prone Glaswegian was forced to apologise for suggesting that an Edinburgh bus company had stopped services on St Patrick’s Day because of ‘anti-Irish racism,’ an unsubstantiated claim for which Dornan had no evidence.
Now fresh evidence has come to light of Dornan’s efforts to whip up another sectarian drama. Last month a video of Rangers football players celebrating their league triumph went viral on Tik Tok, with the players allegedly chanting bigoted slurs in an add on to the song ‘Sweet Caroline.’ Dornan, who has had several previous run ins with the Glasgow club, seized on the video the day it went viral on 17 May but fatefully added of the lyrics that ‘If they’re false or if I’ve misheard, along with so many others, then of course, I’ll delete and apologise but one of the videos seems very clear.’
Four days later on 21 May, Police Scotland came back following its ‘extensive’ enquiries to declare that ‘no criminality has been established.’
