Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 What's the 'truth'? Probably about Big Jock knowing them. They're obsessed with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one time when 'separate entity' actually works. Flute bands are just that. Sure, they are hired by the OO and other loyal orders but they also exist within their own eco-system. Hence the proliferation of 'band parades' that we've seen over the past 20-ish years. On 13/06/2022 at 08:24, topcat(The most tip top) said: I admire your pedantry sir! But if you look at the details of the parade I'm sure you can understand how this confusion might arise https://www.bandparades.co.uk/event/grand-orange-lodge-of-scotland-7 The devil is in the detail. While you 'admire (my) pedantry' you produce a list including a non-Orange organisation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Saying ‘breadish’ sounds like an Northern Irish person saying British. Breadish flegs. Bigotry is no laughing matter though.

We can but hope and while the troglodyte adults are beyond help, somehow a way has to be found to bring up future generations free from tribal divisions and archiac religious hatred. But, sadly, with the 'segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever ' merchants holding a powerful and inexplicable hold over our education system I fear that blind hope is all we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear oh dear !! That really is all the segregationists have. They accuse those who want integration of children of all faiths and none as somehow being the ones propagating sectarianism and division. It's akin to calling those who don't want children of different ethnicity educated separately racists and , as we head towards the middle of the 21st century, this crazed Orwellian doublespeak simply won't wash anymore. In this warped and shrinking little world view there simply is no room for progress and enlightenment. And talking of enlightenment I wouldn't use such an offensive and frankly stupid analogy regarding women in a post about segregated education given the Catholic church's woeful attitude to women's rights in general and reproductive rights in particular. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
