LongTimeLurker Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 From what I remember the SNP dabbled with trying to ban walks pre-devolution in councils they controlled like Angus, but ceased and desisted once the ECHR was included in Scots Law from 1998 onwards. My personal take would be that yes they do have freedom of association and that means the actual lodges have a right to walk, but it's not clear to me that respect for celebration of a traditional culture automatically extends to tolerating having a blood and thunder flute band belting out Sloop John B for reasons that have nothing to do with celebrating the musical legacy of the Beach Boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Apparently everyone is invited to the festival, regardless of religion. I think that's a nice offer, so I'll be the first to say if any member of the OO would like to attend mass with me on the Sunday, you're more than welcome. It's only fair you get to see what the catholic faith is all about after all Somebody should turn up like this, with YES and LGBT badges on and film their experience with a go pro for the banter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B is actually an old folk tune from the West Indies that predates the excellent beach boys cover by several decades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 From what I remember the SNP dabbled with trying to ban walks pre-devolution in councils they controlled like Angus, but ceased and desisted once the ECHR was included in Scots Law from 1998 onwards.

I think the simply solution would be for them to hire out someplace such as Glasgow green, or the SECC for a weekend. Make it an all ticketed event That way, they can march all day without causing as much disruption, the people who want to attend to celebrate the culture can, knowing the usual suspect they blame for causing trouble (the walkers) won't be present. Unfortunately though, I believe the reason they want to march through the streets causing disrupting with the motto "Where our music is welcomed we will play loud, where it is not we will play it louder" is just a GIRFUY to Catholics as a reminder they're "superior" to the rest of us. Nothing to do about celebrating cheddar cheese and pineapple on a stick culture 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 How about wearing LGBT badges to mass and filming the reaction? That could be good for a laugh. Used to urge a lesbian lapsed RC I knew to go to confession and say "bless me father for I have sinnned. I have been living an openly lesbian lifestyle for five years..." just to have a laugh at what the priest would say in response as a way to recover from the trauma of an RC childhood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, preferably in somewhere like SECC where they can march to their hearts content and there is 0 controversy. It doesn't need to be shoved down everyones throats which will only cause conflict. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Disgraceful comment. No matter how much I despised someone's opinions, I would not advocate burning it down with them in it, not even Sinn Fein and, as the political wing of an organisation that killed friends and family, I dare say that I may more reason to oppose them than you do the Orange Order?

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I know, and they are quite different, but that doesn't excuse people wanting to burn others alive, no matter how distasteful their opinions are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'd put quite a lot of people to death given the chance. If you don't like that then don't vote for me, because I'll be a tyrant. Don't feel too worried though, the Orange Order won't be the only ones I'd put to death, they'll have plenty of company when I begin my purge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Pie and Bovril admin deleting posts where someone says they'd condone the burning and mass murder of members of the orange order, yet the poster isn't bannned.
