Here, on the glorious 12th of July we see the supporters of the "Orangefest" sing "The Famine Song". The words "Why don't you go home" must seem very ironic to the indigenous community!
I am sure the people they are telling to go home will have no problem with these marches as long as marchers and their drunken, loutish followers don't march where they are clearly not wanted.
Then again, maybe if they look at these kind of photos maybe they will!
KAT = Kill All Taigs (Catholics)
FAP = F*ck All Papists
So what exactly is the 12th? Unrest begins on the night before as loyalists prepare for their July 12 commerations by burning Irish tricolours on huge bonfires. The day itself sees hundreds of parades across the north. Most are not contentious. However marches through Nationalist neighbourhoods usually are. Why? Ask yourself what the reaction would be if the Klu Kluk Klan were to march through Harlem!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again...
ReplyDeleteUnionism doesn't do irony.
I was held up by a GAA parade there last week and the two people holding the flag at the front had served time for shooting two people in my class at school. Do not make it out that the Orange order is some sort of terrorist organisation when there is one much worse on the other side of the community.
