Minorities demand special treatment once again
It’s political correctness gone mad:
“The sole Scottish prisoner at an English jail is demanding to be served haggis – on racial grounds. Dave Devers claims there is ‘inadequate provision of food for a Scottish diet’ and also wants porridge and square sausage at meal times. He says he is being singled out Âbecause of his ethnicity and that his human rights are being breached.
Other minorities, such as Muslims and Afro-Caribbeans, are served their own delicacies, he argues. The lonely lag is also calling on officials to transfer other Scottish inmates to the prison so he has someone to talk to. Devers, who calls himself an ‘ethnic Jock’, is the only Scot at the 380-man HMP Wolds in East Yorkshire.
‘I am in a minority of one, so bring on porridge (with salt), square sliced sausage and, of course, haggis,’ he wrote in a prison paper. He also bemoaned the fact he was ignored by other ethnic groups at the category B prison and raised concerns he might be targeted by the non-Scottish wardens.
‘If they come to me, as an ethnic Scotsman, are they looking for hooch and whisky? I’ll just tell them I’m an ethnic Jock so go away… you’re being racist,’ he said. The Ministry of Justice said it had not received a complaint from Devers but a source at the jail said: ‘If we give him haggis, he’s probably Âgoing to start demanding Irn Bru to wash it down’.”

Good for him. Sounds like the kind of bolshy pastime that keeps you sane in the slammer.And square sausage is the business.
Wonder whether David Davies will have to resign his seat again to support this poor chaps’ civil liberties case?
Racism against Celts is a very real thing, and something that has been going on for centuries. This might not be the best example of it, but it is a real form of racism and one considered perfectly acceptable by the English.
Should I laugh, feel sorry for him, or wonder what the hell square sausage is, and Google it?
Reader, I went for 3).
“he wrote in a prison paper”
I wonder if he was bored and wrote something tongue-in-cheek to pass the time? Hell, it could even be called satire.
If I go to prison, I’ll have to demand my traditional foods… houmous, taramasalata, pittas…
The lonely lag is also calling on officials to transfer other Scottish inmates to the prison so he has someone to talk to.
Aye cuz nae other cunt can understand his accent.
