luckydug Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Where's that? No offence mate but all I will say is its well known for its Orange sympathizers. Its usually just during the marching season but this year due to a certain event next month they have had the banners out all summer. I dont really mind them having their march but I wish they would stick to the main drag instead of quiet residential streets. Rightly or wrongly we are scared to put our *** posters in the window.

hueyview Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 They will say to counter Irish Republican marches that are allowed to take place in Edinburgh. We need to ban them ALL - however our liberal principals even let the Islamic State supporters march through London, so what chance have we got!! The annual James Connolly March, celebrating the Socialist political revolutionary, was held for many years but was stopped several years ago. As far as i know, there are no Republican marches now carried ou in Edinburgh.. The upcoming 13th Sept March will attract the Scottish Defense League and EDL and associated NO groups. There will also no doubt be the |Anti-facist League" Coming just before a Hibs game near Waterloo place/Abbeyhill is a recipe for Mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strachsuit Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 How not to use Photoshop? Correct! I'm not really sure why folk get their knickers in a twist about the OO though. They are an irrelevance, just pleased it's going on at 11am rather than closer to KO. Let them bash on with their flutes and drums. Just wasting their own time!

Boab Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 A wee heads up to people travelling into Gorgie early for the football tomorrow. There might be a wee bit of a disruption with road closures etc. An Orange parade leaves Dalry at 11.30am heading along Gorgie and down Westfield road, it then goes along to Saughton Park where it finishes. When will they be at Saughton? Traffic wise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
