Alec Eiffel Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Why have them? Is it purely as a counter to the "Loyalist" Orange Parades? I do not see why Republican Marches have any relevance in Scotland. They should be banned and our Government can save the costs of policing them.

luckyBatistuta Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Should completely ban both sets of Neanderthals marching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterion Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Marches should be allowed infrequently and ensure the public are not inconvenienced often. The volume of marches lately has been ridiculous. In the case of Orange marches they should be limited to 1 day a year. If they want to march to celebrate something a tiny minority care about then it should never need to take place repeatedly causing disruption to people and incurring policing costs. If not - the Orange Order should pay for policing since their activities.* *I'd also advocate other frequent marchers/organisations such as Yes Scotland etc. Edited September 25, 2019 by Mysterion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pans Jambo Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 If they must have them then they should have them in January or February. And not in any built up area with a population of more than 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do agree with you, that you don’t want to just ban everything. These marches however, are as you say, people living in the past. They are borne purely from hatred for others and are held to celebrate this and incite hatred towards them. There is no place for them in a modern society imo. 1 minute ago, Alec Eiffel said: I do not know. I am a member of a Rugby Club, we march to the bar.

DETTY29 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Agreement should be reached on the number of marches, the routes and the organisers held responsible for any really unsavoury behaviour.

jake Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 If they want to celebrate their culture then it should be allowed as a festival and not marches . Marches are what soldiers do and is provocative in these circumstances. If it wasnt for the hatred theyd be a colourful part of Scottish culture.

James Connolly was actually from Edinburgh firstly. Do a wee bit of research into him. You might find he's not quite the guy you thought he would be. Back to your original post, I don't see the point in either Loyalist or Republican marches in this, the 21st century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
