Ulster Covenant march

[Maguire01]

and another breach of a Parade Commission ruling.

It's hard to see who exactly the PPS could pin the breach on here, or what they could do about it.

It's about time the legislation was amended to deter the likes of this. Make the parade organisers hand over a deposit for every parade subject to a ruling and return the deposit only if there are no breaches.

Apparently there's a photo in the IN of a Loyalist bandsman relieving himself against the gates of St Matthew's RC Church.

Exactly how stupid are these people?

Surely that is in line with the Orange Order's objectives of Protestant supremacy?

True. Though I thought this was fulfilled by playing the Sash but I thought wrong. Time the Sally rods cleaned up their act

Carson hurled Fitzgibbon for Trinity the same year that Socrates played in the Sigerson with UCD.

Is there anywhere else in Europe that does parades like Norn Irn ? That has provocative songs that are designed to wind up certain groups and do so very successfully ? 

And WTF is the point of singing hymns on a parade?

It all looks like it needs a makeover . Maybe it made sense in 1912.

When I first saw the headline I thought it was an apology from the other Nelson. Now that would have been news.

Looking forward to the next Parades Commission determination either banning pissing altogether or restricting numbers permitted to piss

Doesn't really matter a shite. As has been proved recently, the Parades Commission continues to makes absolutely unenforceable, toothless determinations, which are then freely walked all over by the Orange Order & their coat-trailing supporters, while the cops ignore what's going on & force them through the flashpoint. Nothing ever really changes, does it?

i have some difficulty with the crowd estimates at these orangey gatherings. i was talking to a lad who was working in keady at the twelth were the crowd was claimed to be 20000 he reckons 2 or 3 thousand at the most in fact they had to bus the bands from the field back to the start of the march because there were not enough bands. i'm comparing belfast to clones on ulster final day i reckon there were about 10000 in belfast.

we should not forget that these marches are specifically designed to annoy  irish/catholic/nationalist/republican people and guess what the existance of this thread proves that they work. i'm pissed off. i know that i should rise above it.. be the bigger man.. ignore these idiots.. but dont you just want to wade into them with the boots flying?? would you ever get tired of kickin that big fukr with the drum?? just lock me in a room with him for 30 secs.. thats all i want.. 30secs
