Annual parade of hate-addled dinosaurs in Glasgow

[danny la rouge]

It’s 2024 and this still goes on. My younger daughter lives in the line of fire. It’s depressing.

Thousands to take part in Orange Walk marches with dozens of roads to close

Around 30 roads in Glasgow will be closed between 5am to 4pm on Saturday, July 6.

Is the actual march hatey? I understand the sectarian history and meaning, but do they do any hateful things or have a angry mob following them?

they deliberately march through catholic areas, they have in the past deliberately started violence, often including bairns, they are SCUM!

The march itself is a hatey thing. It's coming from a place of pure hatred, or they wouldn't be doing it.

Yes, it’s hatey. They sing racist and sectarian hate songs, they are filled with menace towards those on the pavements they consider Catholic, shouting hateful slurs and chanting bigoted slogans, they deliberately pass Catholic Churches and route through predominantly Catholic areas, being louder when passing perceived catholic landmarks, they give prizes to drummers who break their drum skins going past Catholic Churches, their numbers are buoyed by bigots from Northern Ireland.

If it was just a jolly parade for jaunty tunes and silly costumes I wouldn’t give a toss. But it’s a dangerous mob, the more dangerous for the fact that they feel their “culture” is under threat and in decline.

Hopefully it is as it seems to be based on being a bunch of nasty cunts. Fuck their culture.

My f-i-l was an orangeman. I have his bowler.

I keep reading thread title and expecting a procession of angry T-rexes.

Kind of what is actually going on, tbf. With their roaring and tiny brains.

That’s pretty much the opening lyrics of one of the songs.

Is anyone else now enjoying the mental image of a group of people who can handle themselves in a scrap, joining an orange march in actual dinosaur costumes?

That’d be awesome. But as you say, they’d need to be handy.

Would have been funny if this lot were confronted by actual dinosaurs

The most shocking thing about orange marches is always the lack of musical skill.

 

[starfish]

I can remember when the old route used to take them down Victoria Rd then into Queens Park which they would trash. Knuckle draggers the lot of them.

Thankfully i have never felt it was part of my culture or i part of theirs.

It’s normally a great place. Sorry the bigots are rampaging today.

I've been meaning to watch 'Just Another Saturday', an old tele play about this all as soon as I read about it.

anyone catch it at the time?

Knuckle draggers.

It sounds familiar, maybe it was shown again after 1975.

I googled it & its on dailymotion if you want to watch it.

I never saw it, but I’m aware of it.

Yes I did - and it made a big impact on me , but I was only 17 then and living in SW Wales and not aware of the issues in Glasgow (and no doubt elsewhere at the time) , it really ought to be repeated like so many of those documentaries were so well done.

I was really upset and insenced years ago when I was standing at a bus stop on Deansgate in Manchester city centre and a very small orange march went past, maybe a couple dozen people.

I didn't say or do anything, I was too upset, but I felt like shouting at them to take their sectarian bullshit and fuck off the streets of Manchester - bearing in mind that in 1996 Manchester had been hit by the biggest 'peacetime' bomb in Europe since the second world war, and it took at least two decades to rebuild.

Yeah, yeah, I know it was the IRA who carried out the bombing, not the Orange Order, but it's all fucking sectarianism, the other side of the same coin.

It upset me to see that contentious shit on the streets of my city.

I hear it's miles better

Well-known never tired mass murderes are out front carrying the banner past the comtmunity, and sometimes the pubs where they firebombed normal folk totally unawares. cowards

it's about hate, we kill your family and we're not sorry- that type of hate.

That’s a blast from the past! That hasn’t been used since the 80s.

 

[Superdupastupor]

There was a big banner on the gas drums along the M8 til at least 1996!

I genuinely wish I still knew the right people to arrange that tbh. Their 'culture' is under threat and the irony is half of them can't even spell culture .

I messaged my daughter to be careful later as she and the girls are in Glasgow for a comic con today.
