mrcat1990 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 As for attacking those who don't attend??? There was 50,000 people in Glasgow last weekend for the big walk and only 8 arrests (for minor offences) and with police applying a far more aggressive approach than they do to any other public gathering. Balls. The police fairly turn a blind eye to public drinking with the big march. Admittedly a stupid law but I'm still bitter about being fined £40 for having a tin in the park whereas I saw folk drinking in front of police at 11am to no fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question But what "level" is it at? Is anyone other than a knuckle-dragger a member? It's neither mainstream, aspirational, growing or relevant. It's fading away. Shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The march will die out by the next generation. Only wee *** neds give a f**k about it and they'll be doing time soon and all the middle aged men are about two bacon rolls from a heart attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Is there any active members of the Orange Order who post on here?Most are quietly embarrassed when asked of their affiliation of such a backwards organisation, and no wonder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have to walk through a loyalist protest (which was totally wrong by the way), there was another route but parents wanted to go their "traditional" route. A Roman Catholic colleague of mine was most vociferous in her condemnation of the parents for forcing their children to undergo the vile abuse and bile which was (quite literally at times) spat at them. Again I state that the ludicrous so called loyalist protest was wrong and the actions of many of those taking part was reprehensible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 this "whataboutery" response is the most pathetic and lazy excuse not to engage or respond to a point. Just claim whataboutery and immediately stop all debate. Exactly the same way the PC brigade shut down debate for years by just accusing everyone of being some "ist" and quashing any dissent.....that ended well for them. Not bad for the guy that shouts 'hate crime' whenever someone is less than pleasant about the brethren.A bigger hypocrite you'd struggle to find on this forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that the 'populists' got shoed all over Europe as usual. Lost in Austria to a Green candidate; lost in The Netherlands; lost in France; heading for a crushing defeat in Germany.
