coprolite Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I have actually witnessed a more tragic celebration of historical battles than Orange marches. At Faslane, the navy brass had a big formal dinner to celebrate Trafalgar day. After a lot of port, they had two massive chocolate old fashioned boats with rigging and everything, one with french and spanish flags and the other with british. They got carried in opposite directions around the room and when they passed at the top table people walking round fired party poppers from each boat at the other. The French/Spanish boat then had sparklers lit on board and got gradually lowered to much whooping and hollering. Gammons are fucking weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You not understanding something doesn't make it wrong, it makes you wrong.

By realising that those with different cultural traditions, mindsets and opinions to you aren't 'the other'. Once you realise that, and show kindness toward them as a result, you'll live a happier life. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Orange Order somewhere will come under fire soon enough when it finds itself in court trying to justify its lack of inclusiveness. Someone will challenge it.

Plus on the marches instead of coins being thrown or spitting on children, flowers and Quality Street/Heroes will be thrown to the crowds. The music needs to be changed as well, comes across a bit 'Flower of Scotland' with the lame battle themes and should be changed to something more inclusive, get some positive dance music in there. In time the colour orange will come to be associated with peace and hugs all round. I’ve already explained it’s not just about the winning of a battle. Coins and spitting? Lame battle music? Dance music? Jings, crivvens, help ma’ boab! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I’d like ‘Packs Of 3’ by Arab Strap to be the anthem, simply because the opening line is ‘it was the biggest cock you’d ever seen’ and the idea of the camera panning up and down the football team mouthing that makes me giggle.

No the Klan are also virulently anti-Catholic so it’s accurate to think of the OO as a diet (if you’ll pardon the pun) Klan. Be a bit silly to go on walks thru ex-mining towns screaming about Black people when the only one there is if Jose Quitongo’s got a game there that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonapersona Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I suppose the good thing about the OO and the Klan is that they are socially unacceptable for people who actually live in the 21st century. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
