It’s horrible they should be banned they even burned the polish flag wtf? Can’t understand the hate!

Wow, Reginald’s Tower.. That’s a very insightful post and its clear to asses that you’ve analysed the situation and you’ve got a firm grasp of the issues. As for Kathleen, it’s worth pointing out that the marching season is not about one day, it’s a period starting at Easter and ending in September, so completely avoiding it is hardly practical. As for the usual tripe about how they’re all the same up there etc. will somebody point out to me when a republican commemoration erected placards proclaiming “kill all prods” . I don’t recall that. Nor do I recall a bonfire where republicans went to the bother of writing out the names of 14 innocent murder victims, and giving them pride of place on the bonfire. While I’m at it, I seem to have developed some amnesia in relation to republican bands singing sectarian songs outside protestant churches, while marching around in circles, and beating the lard out of people who had the nerve to record this great cultural activity! Don’t think for one moment that “they’re all the same”. The orange order is just a little bit special!

How are they going to ignore parades going through the streets? They’re not exactly inconspicuous! They should be banned.

They should ban Orange Order parades in the North altogether because they cause violence.

I have a friend who’s parents live on one of the routes. The also had a shop on the same road. They just shut up shop and came south for the week. Never bothered them. All the shouting and riots were done by the time the got home. Unfortunately a lot of people from both sides see all this trouble as a bit of excitement so it’s hard to see how it will stop

Yeah, some things never change, despite the media shite to the contrary! Won’t be up there in a hurry despite all the jolly jolly stuff from the N.I, tourist board! Pass.

Same old story different decade… from a bored resident of NI.

F@ck traditions can we not look forward for a change instead of backwards… so frustrating this part of the country!!

Emigration doesn’t sound such a bad option after all…

Option1) Australia (sun, beaches, bbq, jobs etc)
Option 2) Canada ( a tad colder but i can deal with that:)
Option 3)… or grey, wet, bigoted, sectarian, divided, no jobs, no money, no life, no future… Northern Ireland!

Why not send the Garda up there on the 12 July to help out instead of sending them to Mauritius. They could do some good up north with the catholic side.
