redstevie007 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Most of those who take part in these Orange parades know next to nothing about the facts or history of the battle. Do you think someone should tell them that the Williamites were in a political partnership with the Vatican and that the Pope ordered it's bells to be rung out when news of their victory reached Rome?

Flure Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 what a sad thread this is. Hard to believe that in 21st century Scotland we still have enough bigots to fill George Square. Just one more reason to long for our Independence and, eventually, a republic Banana Republic? Let's blow them Oranges some raspberries.

Maq Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I know Michael Kelly lost it long ago, but still..... eh?! @MichaelsBetter: Protests about Orangefest just a way of Nats attacking Lab and Glasgow. So any criticism of the OO, is an attack on the Labour Party?! And Glasgow (who voted Yes!)?? edit: that's got to be a parody account! Blo0dy twitter!

Pool Q Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 What the OO would hate more than anything else would be to be ignored and viewed as the irrelevant relic of a bygone age that they are. By the vast majority of the population. That's why the thing has to be in George Square, right in the middle of our biggest city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I think is tacky and childlike to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunchy Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 In a way this whole mess comes down to the question of when does an organisation become extremists. The way some on here are going on they would say the oo is an extremist organisation some would say they are only celebrating there heritage. Is banning folk from dating a catholic extremist or just distastfull?. It would be interesting to find out what the marches are for if it is just to celebrate there heritage or if it is the celebration of the battle of the boyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jockodile Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If the Act of Settlement barring a Catholic or someone who has married a Catholic is ever overturned, as Brown considered before bigger events took focus elsewhere, these cockwombles would go into a tailspin. Get Franz over from Bavaria I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth Farrington Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I see the lassie who organised the petition has had to delete her FB & Twitter accounts after her & her family have received death threats. Is today not an educational, family fun day, organised to dispel all those silly misconceptions? If it wasn't pissing down, I'd have gone myself. I just thought it was a day for fat weirdos to wear silly hats & gloves & get it up the Kaffliks whilst John Law turned a blind eye for the day. Sounds like there's so much to learn. No much of a day for all the skinny wee tramps to go "pas aff" at the side ha ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
