Orange March Sunderland City Centre

[the boot]

Some on here can't even spell the fucker correctly.

Every time I type it mate I get confused f***ing autocorrects it to the wrong spelling I’ve typed it wrongly that many times. Racist!!!!

First march was in 2013 according to the Echo.

Hundreds take part in Sunderland’s first Orange march

So it is a recent thing, then.

Hardly a tradition, is it ?

Sunderland don't need this kind of sinister sectarianism on its streets. Leave this shit in the rough-arse bits of Belfast, where it belongs.

Mate. Have you watched the video?

 

[lurker]

They’re all f***ing arseholes. No place for this sort of thing in sunderland.

If it was Muslims there’d be f***ing hell on.

 

[the boot]

Imagine celebrating a needless war where thousands have died by parading through the streets all dressed up in uniforms......... hold on.

Mate. Have you watched the video?

Obviously not, FFS.

I know some lads who went through, and they're all raging extreme right lunatics.

Disgusted this is in our city. As posted elsewhere, our family roots are Merseyside, where orange shite was a Thing and caused some misery for family members a generation back. No one should welcome this poison crossing the Pennines.

 

[Tadger]

Just for clarity, my earlier post about how awful it is for the SOL to have hosted the dinner was a pisstake.

 

[Deleted member 5265]

There isn’t one single, good reason for the Orange Order to be parading in Sunderland. Something sinister at play there

This.

You do realise this isn’t a new thing? I remember watching it in town as a bairn.

I dare say that if it was banned from happening then that would create even more issues.

The first one was in 2013

That’s not half a dozen reasons is it?

Sectarian
Divisive
Antiquated
Supremacist
Bigoted
Unnecessary

There’s your half dozen

I can remember seeing them in the town c1990 mind. I stand to be corrected, but didn’t they also march in south Tyneside quite regularly in the 80s and 90s?

FWIW, I’m not defending them btw.

Without even getting into being opinion based two of those are bollocks. Antiquated and unnecessary, should something not be allowed because it is old, christmas and bonfire night seem to still be doing quite well. You could argue that for pretty much everything that it is unnecessary in someones mind, why are pubs allowed, why allow the match to be played, the list is endless.

And what's your take on the other four ??

 

[Teed]

I’m 31 and can remember them marching up Fawcett Street when I was a kid. Was always of the impression we have them turn out every marching season.

I must walk around with my eyes and ears closed then, because I've never heard or seen one in Sunderland in the 66 years I've lived, mind, it's not the type of shite I'd be interested in either, so that could explain it.

Edit: just seen the Echo links, looks like I do..

Like I said the other four are down to personal opinion. I am sure there are plenty of people who wouldn’t class it as any of those four

 

[Kevsgreat]

Considering there's nowt in the city centre and there's no parking and the parking charges are ridiculous there are a fair amount of shitehawks wanting to plod through it.
