“Virgin!” Hilarious moment people of Glasgow see off fire and brimstone preacher

HILARIOUS video shows a fire and brimstone Christian preacher get short shrift when he tries to lecture the people of Glasgow.

One young boy is seen holding up a handwritten sign saying “Virgin” behind the back of the fundamentalist.

And when the bible basher shouts at a Hare Krishna parade, the participants drown him out with their music while onlookers cheer.

Proud residents of the city have claimed the footage proves the old advertising slogan that “People make Glasgow.” One wag commented: “Hare Krishna 2, Bible Basher 0”.

The preacher, dressed in a black top with the slogans “Drunkeness leads to Hell” and “Repent Sinner”, rants at the crowd, several of whom yell back.

James Haldane was among those who filmed the scenes in Buchanan Street. He focuses on a boy, aged around 12, who is holding up a piece of paper behind the preacher bearing the word “Virgin”.

The kid then points at the sign which is now just a foot away from the preacher who appears to be ignoring it.

James posted his video on Twitter with the caption “People make Glasgow”.
