neilly71 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) If your in Embra town centre at any time of the day it'll be likely you'll come accross some of them. All the info here - http://news.stv.tv/east-central/291661-road-closures-put-in-place-for-orange-orders-edinburgh-march/ Road closures are being put in place for the Orange Order’s pro-Union march in Edinburgh this weekend. Several main roads will be closed between 10.30am and 2pm on Saturday, including the Mound, George IV Bridge, Market Street, Jeffrey Street, Forrest Road and Canongate. Abbeyhill will be closed until 3pm between Canongate and Croft an Righ. The City of Edinburgh Council is warning members of the public to leave more time for their journeys. The Grand Orange Lodge expect around 15,000 of their members to descend on Edinburgh for their "proud to be British" rally in support of a No vote in the independence referendum. They will start at the Meadows at 11am and march through the city before finishing at Regent Road at 2pm. Police Scotland say they have arrangements in place to deal with the biggest Orange Parade ever in Scotland. A spokesman said: "Police Scotland’s priority is to ensure public safety and security and we will uphold the right of anyone to march and demonstrate peacefully. "This event, like every other of this type, will be policed appropriately and proportionately and we will respond appropriately to any issues which arise, dealing accordingly with anyone who breaches the law."

thplinth Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Prohibition A number of countries have legislation banning the wearing of political uniforms. Many also ban members of their police and armed forces from taking part in political activity when in uniform. In Germany, political uniforms are forbidden. Political uniforms were forbidden in Sweden during the period 1933-2002. The law existed to prevent Nazi groups from wearing uniforms. In the United Kingdom, the Public Order Act 1936, passed to control extremist political movements in the 1930s such as the British Union of Fascists, banned the wearing of political uniforms during marches. The OO have confirmed they will march in uniform making this a direct contravention of the Public Order act. Can someone call the police and report this please.

John_B81 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Yet again, the roads of Scotland shut to let these biggotted idiots show off! I urge any Yes voter to stay well clear, don't want to give them any ammunition of the Yes side causing trouble. Let the OO damage the No vote.

I urge any Yes voter to stay well clear, don't want to give them any ammunition of the Yes side causing trouble. The OO are doing that themselves. Agreed - they'll need very little if any provocation to kick off (& kick heads), take it from me !! just leave them well alone to do there thing & let the police deal with the neds that theses parades always attract.

thplinth Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I struggle to imagine a single undecided or Yes voter becoming a No after seeing these clowns. Whereas the opposite I can imagine quite easily. I wish they were marching every day between now and voting day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bzzzz- you're probably correct, they have a long standing habit of scraping amongst themselves, once the buckie &mad dog kicks in of course.

scotlad Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Orange Order, UKIP, yes campaigners, no campaigners, Hibs Fans. What can go wrong? Ideally any Yes campaigners will ignore both Farage and the OO and let them make their own mistakes, but I don't think they will be able to help themselves. Any kind of antagonism whatsoever from the Yes side and the press will have a field day; and they've been having quite a lot of them this week.

dave Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Can you imagine scenes now the good Dr is dead? Why? He always walked with the independant orange lodges on the 12th. They only had a few thousand members and were concentrated in North Antim where he had huge support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
