The Northern Irish will be at it again no doubt - with the Orangemen celebrating King Billy today.
And the other side taking exception to it.

An extra BH in April, possibly clashing with Easter on occasions? Fuck that, move it to July.

I get not doing it in the current climate, but why should they stop it in the future?

Don't forget, the Catholics march as well, on other days obviously . Both could be happy occasions with lost of colour and music and drink . If only you could take the hatred out of it all - but you can't . We are a mixed family and go to weddings , funerals etc., in both churches and there's hardly any differences at all . Fucks sake lads sort yourselves out, kick hatred out .

It just seems that hatred is fuelling the world at the moment, or is it the way it's getting reported?
There are Orange Lodges in Africa. Some of their members have been invited over to Belfast especially for the parade in the past.
No parades this year (their wouldn't have been anyway as it's Sunday) but still lots of smaller band parades organised for tomorrow. No orange lodges marching this year.

Because people can't behave themselves. There is always loads of bother and it inconveniences a whole city (Glasgow) with road closures etc whilst they march.
I don't understand the need to march from one side of the city to the other. There are loads of parks in the city. In the past the council have tried to get them to just hold an event in one of them but they always want to do a bit of marching.
