Newbornbairn Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Reports on social media that Orange marchers were spitting in the faces of kids today. A couple of years ago they spat in the face of a priest in Glasgow. I saw them doing their synchronised waddle through Glasgow today and couldn't help but notice their route slithered past as many Catholic churches as possible. I'm all for freedom of expression but this is akin to letting kiddy fiddlers march past schools. It's intimidatory (not so) passive aggression and frankly has no place in the country Scotland aims to become. Should we just bite the bullet and ban them? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 If we are to ban overly aggressive and full of weirdo marches then can we add the independence ones next on the list too, please. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Restrict them to the M8 (handy for most of the f***ers) and never close the road for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Put them in a field & let them march to their hearts content. Shite like that shouldn’t be allowed to inconvenience the public in general at the the expense of the general public. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceanlineayr Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 The Scottish Government own Prestwick Airport, could stick their marches there. They could then march/waddle up and down the runways. Would keep them away from city and town centres and being an Airport there is already some fencing and security arrangements in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're taking cues from losers like @The_Kincardine then no, Indy marches wouldn't be banned because they aren't full of purple faced, catholic-hating gargoyles. A few weirdos I'll give you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Banning them would only feed their victim complexes, but having a stipulation like ‘you must be this tall to ride’ of having a BMI under 50 to take part. Frame it as protecting the NHS from being overloaded with coronaries all at once and it’d de facto ban itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 The marches shouldn’t be banned but they should be policed better and anyone who goes highly vilified as a disgusting bigot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn’t be policed at all, waste of fucking money. If they’re that dedicated to their cause they can pay for their own security and I’ll open a steamroller dealership on Charing Cross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's roadworks at Kingston Bridge, Braehead and just beyond Erskine junction, they'd be marching on the spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Unfortunately, no. Arrest anyone who is doing anything illegal and let the the rest of the crimplene clad corpulent c***s 'celebrate their culture'. They should be policed with a zero tolerance attitude though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were about 50 of the twats bimbling round today, outnumbered at least 4 to 1 by the police. Dozens of riot vans, mounted cavalry, blue meanies and a helicopter. A massive police presence to help the bigoted morons give a big GIRUY to Catholics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that they are horrific and an absolute shame on Scotland, but they view it as legitimate religious observance. Id rather they marched in parks or whatever but i think the ‘get it up ye’factor of disturbing everyone else is part of the thrill for them. I think the Orange Order should contribute to the security costs, but i think the organisers of every event should after a certain threshold is met (in terms of volume of events/size of crowd/risk of disorder) but that would require an independent commission to adjudicate on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 The normal argument against prohibition is that you just force whatever it is underground. Which sounds ideal in this case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 What is the actual purported purpose of these things? I've never seen one nor met anyone who goes on them (or at least admits it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorongil Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I’m a Catholic and can honestly say I’m not remotely bothered by them marching around, past churches or whatever. What does it matter? Anti-social or criminal behaviour should be dealt with accordingly. I don’t believe in collective punishment. Banning would make huge martyrs of them and more problems would be created than solved by such a measure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Any attempt to ban them or apply conditions relating to charging for policing would open the door to banning or further restricting legitimate protests. That said a zero tolerance to any sectarian actions and routing the parades so they don’t pass catholic churches would be legitimate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 To save money on polis costs all marches should happen on the one day allocated for them The Bigots can be sandwiched between the "empty headed Natters" and Gay Pride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
