Flowing from that Irish Roman Catholic society and its west of Scotland branch plant didn't follow the conventional historical development experienced elsewhere in RC countries in western Europe of an anti-clerical liberal and then a socialist strand within the new secular nation state challenging and breaking the dominance of the church hierarchy so Cardinal Winning was still viewed as speaking on behalf of an entire community in relatively recent times, and Scotland retained separate national institutions in 1707 to accomodate its Presbyterianism and didn't become the equivalent of a German lander or Italian province leading to the emergence of a strong independence movement after 300 years of Union despite not having a significant language issue to fuel it, so there is a lot more going on than just what the Orange Order gets up to that is decidedly odd when viewed from outside. only two sentences. impressive. All monarchy and religion is shite. There is no right side when it comes to arguments between the. People do have a right to be arseholes if it causes no immediate harm though.

RedRob72 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Was it not BigotBob who was boasting about some loyalist flute band, playing at his mates wedding. What a pathetically tragic individual. Boastful? What was boastful or bigoted about it!? A top notch melody band, tunefully tight and very smartly turned out. Not sure a pure blood and thunder outfit would have suited such an auspicious occasion for the happy couple, right enough. There was nothing ‘boastful’ about mentioning it whatsoever though.If you don’t enjoy the flute bands fine, but thousands do and the ‘scene’ continues to flourish. You can’t possibly know the set they played either. Usual blind ignorance spouted from the P&B band wagon, try thinking for yourself for a wee change.Would you have said it was boastful to comment that a pipe band had entertained the guests? Would that also make for a pathetically tragic individual. Hmm... I guessing you would probably go with what everyone else thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I don't actually know much about the Orange Order but from these photos all the members look old, overweight, have a wide range of health problems and terrible skin tone. They need a few younger healthy olive skinned people to make them look more human and less like creepy, racist cult members. You guys should start there.

Tam Devine does have a point, In the article he said: "The mainstream Protestant churches don’t want anything to do with it and mainstream Scottish opinion, especially during the marching season, treats the organisation with hostility and contempt.” Then again I have nothing but contempt for, 'mainstream Scottish opinion'. We know that at least 45% of them are utter tossers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
