Unfortunately our backwards facing council have approved the Apprentice Boys of Derry march this coming Saturday afternoon. This f***ing place. Sunday also they will be back out in numbers as pubs will be showing the Scottish Cup semi final, just a f****ing bigot fest in Inverness this weekend, make them feel better inside and superior to everyone else again. I'm likely to be going through to Elgin this Saturday for the Elgin v Peterhead game, just get out the place for a day. That's absolutely honking about the march in Inverness (I'm married to an Invernessian, hence ICT being my Wee Team). There was an Orange walk in Kirkie to mark one of the ex-Queen's jubilees. To her credit, she was probably less than thrilled by it. Then and now there was no Orange Lodge in the town so it was yet another crazy act by the loons of East Dunbartonshire Cooncil to permit it. It went along the main street just before my bus did. Held up about twenty minutes it was. I hate Orangemen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanky Highlander Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Last thing the Highlands need is Apprentice Boys and Orangemen marching. Divisive, not even part of the historical tradition up here, get it punted. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people that permitted the Inverness Orange march, have banned a march in Portree, by some folk who are upset about NHS provision in the town. What’s the logic in that ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that part of the world, of all places, it is a disgusting symbol of colonialism and brutality. Unthinkable that they gave it the go ahead. I was being far too kind. Norn Irish poet Tom Paulin was once so disgusted by something he reviewed on the Late Review years ago he called it "a bag of boke". Seems appropriate here. I grew up in Ayrshire, mum is from Belfast and I have extended family in Belfast. My wife is from Armagh. Visit every year (Norn Iron I mean, not my wife. She's already here in Beauly...). Have seen far too much sectarian shite and it just scunners me. It's the scourge of large bits of Scotland too. Granting new licences to invent pretendy sectarian traditions in the Highlands and set precedents is just such a stupid thing to do. Fire all this stuff into the sea. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave94 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Gravedancers under the guise of tradition, some very staunch on the council since 2007. If it has anything to do with the Highlands maybe it would be celebrating one sect of the Christian church over another at the Battle of Culloden I guess, putting down a Catholic rebellion against the King. But this isn't a march for the tourists, these mutants are pretty serious about it. Tourist's maybe amused by it all when they see it but it sends out a message that Unionist flag waving and sectarian bigotry up here in the Highland capitol is tolerated and this is a hardcore unionist city. The elections up here say otherwise. It has been mentioned that these marches have never had any trouble and this is the argument they use against the petition that has been going around to stop the marches. btw are the people on the march from Inverness and the area? I have my doubts. I've lived here all my life and from the photos of marches over the years I don't recognise a single face ever. A few years ago they used to march a street a-way from my house and you could hear the drumming thumping through the air and the ground. My next door neighbours are big Rangers fans and just like a remote control had set them off they switched on and started singing along to the song in their living room the band were playing as they passed by, I was near pissing my breeks laughing. I often hear them watching tv when Rangers are on and I'm sure their usual dose of win on Sat' or Sun' sets them up in a good mood for the rest of the week. Funny though that they have been very quiet and the curtains have been closed since Sunday for some reason. I'm amused with the banners at the game up in Dingwall, I try to look at things in a practical and logical manner. I mean are they fighting to keep their colours? Its very nice they like blue, red, white and black that much and some orange in more recent times that they feel the need lets say to punch someone in the face if that someone steals the red out of their flags, but is someone really trying to take colours away from them? I hope so, these colours also belong to ICT and our club is older than theirs, we were here first and have no connection to this marching tradition crap and the baggage carried by the OF, so suck it up Rangers fans, these are our colours. I'm so pleased for County, I really am. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
