“No Surrender”

[BelfastRanger]

Best thing to do is get them to explain why its sectarian cause they won't be able to do it and will expose their sectarianism.

"No Surrender" goes back to the siege of Derry and marks a vety important period in European history.

You could always just say its a mantra you use to keep you motivated and nothing to do with politics.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

They think football strips are sectarian so you're wasting your time arguing with them.

 

[The Predator]

I think the biggest question needs to be why you felt the need to put it on your locker in first place.

Nothing sectarian about it, however, why give yourself any grief thst may come from it.

Are you 16-18 years old?

That is what I said.

It hasn’t been made official yet but it’s got me paranoid.

Because I underestimated the offendedness. Someone gave me some stickers and I put them on my locker without a second thought.

 

[Blastie Bear]

At least you have outed your workplace enemies. I would say that was a worthwhile exercise.

 

[Albertz]

That's a song title on the new judas priest album

David Silva just got it tattooed on his arm for his son, just shows you at end of last episode on Prime.

Remember covering the old work in 'Ulster Says No' stuff years ago, the mentally challengeds were going mental.

 

[TCWNS1872]

Funnily enough the only complaints arose the day after we beat Ufa and it had been up for weeks beforehand.

Bitter, bitter c*nts.

Tell them to do one mate.

 

[Tommyhlrsc]

If the ABOD had surrendered to the forces of James then the w@nkers moaning might not have the liberties to complain about this ....VVV

 

[TommyEgan]

Sticker in question

We are not sectarian.....

 

[Superted 1872]

If you shite it and don't want to have courage in your convictions.

It's your favourite bruce springstein song

Hardly shiting it when my career is at stake

 

[Superted 1872]

Hardly shiting it when my career is at stake

Why do it then?

 

[SemperParatus]

Why do it then?

Been covered already but if you need a hand reading give me a shout and I’ll do my best to help

 

[Cauldwell]

Is everybody who doesn't surrender a Bigot.

 

[Superted 1872]

Im playing devils advocate, your job isnt under threat relax

Its a widespread phrase as has been pointed out, its not sectarian

 

[Ever Ready]

Turn it around and get them to explain why it is sectarian...

On Red Nerrus is my family motto.

 

[Robocop1960]

Left the RAF this year and started in the Railway, having started so recently and this thing becoming an issue is the reason I’m worried.

Haha, hope its not scotrail ye work for or you'll defo get your jotters haha

 

[Britvic55]

Do any of your colleagues have football related stickers?

 

[E10H]

Remember covering the old work in 'Ulster Says No' stuff years ago, the mentally challengeds were going mental.

Used to see them pinned up and lying around building site bothies back in the day.

 

[Kaiserweiss]

No it’s not sectarian

 

[SemperParatus]

Do any of your colleagues have football related stickers?

Yes, including one of the Jocks that knew

 

[Britvic55]

Yes, including one of the Jock that knew

That's your let out then, but I understand your position if you're still in a probationary period at work.

Bide your time, soon you'll be able to put a sticker up with league win 55 on it.

Exactly what I wanted to hear

 

[pelem]

Nothing sectarian about it but could probably get you sacked in 2018 Scotland.

Moreso if he works for sciaf.

 

[SenoraCuellar]

Senator John McCain termed one of his canpaigns the NoSurrender tour and his bus was the No Surrender bus. Simply a tribute to the man as he passed away recently

[jimbear]

It is not sectarian and that should be the end of it.

 

[Southside_shug]

You merely have to ask why it is sectarian.

 

[Derek84]

Typical mentally challenged mentality,Anything they don’t like is deemed sectarian.

I do have a lot of respect for that war hero as it goes.

 

[Greigorypeck]

quoting a section from a Winston Churchill quote

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills;

we shall never surrender.

Off topic I know, but I just watched the darkest hour last night. Wow what a movie it is. Absolutely loved it.

 

[Purplestar]

Anything Rangers/Protestant/Unionist or Loyalist is a target to being labelled sectarian these days, that, is all part of their plan to remove all of our culture by claiming offence.

The word you're looking for mate is DISCRIMINATION.....

Anything Rangers/Protestant/Unionist or Loyalist is being discriminated against in Scotland these days and must be highlighted as such.

Equal opportunities/level playing field , even sporting integrity are all statements that the "rest of Scotland" preach continually so to seek out one type of society and target them is easily discrimination.

Let's take the fight back to them.

 

[The Hooded Claw]

Ffs the hokey cokey is sectarian to those daft b@stards so they will be overly offended by that. Anything we do offends them

This all day long, the onus is on the accuser here, tell them to put up or shut up.

 

[Wugs]

Worth watching .

 

[Delboy]

If your going to be sacked then you may as well go the whole way.

 

[kclarkhall]

Anything we do or say is sectarian remember.

 

[Family bam]

Phuck them!!

NS.

 

[AmsterdamBear]

Absolutely nothing sectarian about it.

 

[AmsterdamBear]

What time is your alarm set for?

 

[shrewed wullie cf2]

Used to leave any jobs I finished on footpaths in Edinburgh after flagging streets or new granite with (rangers 1872 no surrender) must be hundreds of places all over Edinburgh its written

 

[TPB90]

Only a total moron would deem "No Surrender" to be sectarian.

 

[Purplestar]

The thing is SP that they have to prove that it is sectarian.

You're sticker hasn't named any person, people or organisation to be offended at.

Laugh at them as they squirm to find an answer to it.

 

[Safe Standing Bear]

Sticker in question

Just looking at their other stickers

Looks like the guy on the right is dressed for the green brigade, Odd choice of colours for the lad!

 

[vinnie]

HR will know its not sectarian, let them run tbis along as they want OP. You’ll be fine mate.

I’d do it again tomorrow.

I was let off a disciplinary once for saying “i’m offended that they’re offended, now what do we do?” They found out I was an argumentative kunt and could be just as petty as them if needed, aka I wouldn't let them just grease up the dildo for the new boy and bend over for them.

 

[Blueknows]

If you think something may come of this be prepared. I am guessing that any management intervention is likely to be, in the first instance, by your line manager. Make yourself aware of the definition of sectarian if that's what you think might be the angle taken. Look it up by simply putting 'sectarian meaning' into your browser. I imagine your line manager either won't know the definition or will and recognise this isn't.
I recently asked a police sergeant to define sectarian. He couldn't, so it's unlikely many laymen could.
Totally as an aside the meaning of 19th Century Terrorist when put into the internet provides the correct definition. Try it. It's a reasoned defence for anyone challenged on the use of the word.
As has been said by others I doubt you have anything much to be concerned about but, if I were your line manager or your trade union rep I would be telling you to not do anything like this again, and I will make sure the other lot don't either, and will take it up with management if anything does happen in future.
One other point, you shouldn't be putting anything unsanctioned by management on company property, which I presume your locker is. So don't leave yourself open to that possibility for disciplinary action.
For information I am and have been a TU rep for a number of years.
Keep anything partisan -I would consider this partisan not sectarian - away from the workplace.
