    The Bizarre antics of the Sons of Struth

    Right, they turned up at Sports Direct on Saturday, filled all their baskets with about £300 worth of gear and went tae the checkouts and offered a pound for them. So heres a wee quiz...who did it harm more ?

    A. Mike Ashley ?
    B. The Easdales ?
    C. Some poor wee minimum wage counter staff in their first job ?

    Was it a comment on Murray selling Oldco for a pound? Something to do with them being cheap, repetitive, boring and tasteless?

    I suspect it harmed no one but gained them a small amount of publicity.



    N.B. I suspect that if you had told them it was your first job and that you were on minimum wage they would have shown you a certain degree of sympathy and possibly put the hat round for you.

    the pound represents the pound ashly supposedly paid for the naming rights - the protest gained national news attention which highlighted the issue and would have embarrassed ashley while slightly disrupting things in a few of his shops - do you understand the concept of protests clownshoe

    I would have thought that a more appropriate protest would be tae actually stay away from Ibrox and deprive them of the money they are all stashing away in suitcases ? Targetting shopworkers in Glasgow's East End only harms, the manager and staff of the outlet, many of whom could be Sevconians.
