Give Neds a Good Flogging

A Roman Cathlic Priest at the centre of a sectarian hate campaign has called for a return of public flogging.

Father Stephen Dunn, commenting after thugs scrawled sick graffiti on the door of his chapel house, is reported to have said

"I would have birching in George Square on alternate Saturdays at 6am. If these thugs thought they were going to be publicly flogged, by God you can bet they wouldn't do it again."

Father Dunn has been targeted by sectarian thugs since taking over at the Sacred Heart RC Church, in Bridgeton, Glasgow, two years ago. He was punched by a bigot last year, his home has been attacked and he is regularly taunted in the street.
