  1. Can someone here help me understand why, when talking about the OO in other countries and how they “celebrate” I got downvoted to oblivion for saying they don’t have public parades in Ireland? Was on that thread OP crossposted.
    One of em literally said they do and they’re always in the way?

    Only one I’ve ever heard of was that one in Dublin that ended up in riots.

  2. So they’ve told us to screw off and the British don’t want them, so what group do they think they’re a part of exactly?

  3. I’ve found the average English person to be pretty oblivious of anything thats happened/happening across the sea.

    I’m surprised OO got an audience.

  4. I was told recently there were no women in the orange order, In fact I was told women were not allowed to join. But in almost every march, this one included, there are women marching alongside the men. Also wearing the sash. Does anyone know what’s up with that?

  5. isn’t the whole thing kinda gas?

    old overweight redfaced men donning their little getup and their backpacks and going out for a wee parade. if everyone just stopped paying attention to em, it’d probably just quietly die out along with them.

    it’s a little fascinating really, it’s hard to imagine many people born past 1990 who’d be arsed to dress up and do this when the crusty generation are dead and rolling in their graves.

  6. I’m a Portadown lad living in England and never bothered explaining these daft bastards to anyone here because it’s just pure 70s. Nobody gives a shite about you or your daft rituals or anything you believe in. Got phones that fit in your pockets now lads you fucking tampered fossils.

  7. Can we all appreciate the irony that a bunch of unionist decided to name themselves after one of history’s greatest seprstionist ?

    Like I don’t know what they think about William the silent but the guy is signed on one of the most anti monarchical document of his time & the document that set the people right to revolut against a king that doesn’t act in their interest( as a side note “Het Plakkaat van Verlatinghe” is truly a humanist masterpiece and an important landmark in the people rights that every free person should read )

    They are latching so hard to the fact that he was a protestant fighting a Catholic king that they don’t see how much the Dutch state plight for independence mirrors that of the Irish.

  8. The Orange Order: “We love England, and they love us”

    Meanwhile in England: “Fuck those weird fanta coloured twats”

    Meanwhile in Ireland: “Go back to England you weird fanta coloured twats”

    Meanwhile in Australia: “Yeah, the Irish won the first race war FUCKK YEAHHH CUNT, WE FARKIN SLAUGHTERED THOSE FANTA COLOURED CUNTS! CUT THE FLESH NED, CUT THE FUCKIN FLESH CUUUNT!!”

  9. My grandad’s Irish (I’m Canadian), and I once worked with a woman from Northern Ireland.

    When I told him, he told me to sing to her the next time I worked with her:

    “Northern Billy in his orange sashes
    Fell in the fire and burnt to ashes”

    Now I know what he was talking about.

  10. It needs time unfortunately. I’m from a protestant background in N.I and these people are baffling to me. Alliance had a good turn out at least. Hopefully good overall that people from this background are going to get sucked into this less and less as time goes on.

  11. Imagine when your so called “people” can’t even stand the sight of you, or barely even know that you exist. These lads could go to an uninhabited planet and still make themselves unwelcome.

  12. I’m now living in Edinburgh and they had a march here last week.

    Bit of an understatement to say they weren’t too welcomed. They’re despised everywhere they go.

  13. The self righteousness is so strong in this video that you could cut it up with a chisel and build a prison from blocks of the stuff, no cement necessary.

  14. jesus why do like two thirds of these people look like caricatures of themselves 🤣 like they were ripped straight out of the comic section of some auld newspaper

  15. Hey Australian here.. What’s the deal? Why are people walking with orange sashes on like they won the work place High Viz talent show?

  16. “Is that that little bald fella from Benny Hill at the start?”

    “Nah, they’re all the little bald fella from Benny Hill.”

  17. The Orange Order is beyond its best before date. Not a single sign of diversity or inclusion in that group. It’s all bitter angry WASP’s who see their reign ending. I see them going the way of the Dido.. I.e. Extinct.

  18. I got on the Tube on Saturday afternoon and frankly did not expect to find myself standing alongside a bunch of them carrying large batons.

    I felt rather uncomfortable but was reassured by the irony that their ties all had LOL emblazoned on them.
