They live to provoke Catholics/republicans because they have nothing better to do.

Winnin hearts and minds as ever....

A loyalist band has been filmed stopping to play loyalist tunes outside a Catholic church in north Belfast.
The incident happened at St Patrick's Church on Donegall Street during the Twelfth of July parade on Thursday.
The band - wearing Shankill YCV uniforms - was recorded walking around in circles outside the church by two different people.
At the end of one of the videos, the person recording it is confronted and threatened by members of another band.
At one point the band was playing the music of "the famine song", an anti-Catholic song which originated in Glasgow.
The famine song is played to the music of the Beach Boys' Sloop John B, but replaces the chorus "I feel so broke up, I wanna go home" with "The famine is over, why don't you go home?".

They are absolute scum of the earth. Is this an example of the "culture" they expect us to respect?

This is an absolute disgrace. To think after coming this far we still have these bigots acting in such a juvenile, threatening and sectarian manner is beyond comprehension.

I like Sloop John B but I couldn't imagine Brian Wilson singing about the famine. Then again Wilson is a bit of a Proddy name so you never know.

Even though the Orangeman is nearly extinct, my nephew and other children are fond of the zoo, so no. Feeding them to the animals in the zoo would doubtless poison the poor creatures, so I'm afraid thats out as well.

It's pathetic. It's as if they know the jig is up and the privilidged position that they once had in society will never return.

Nice milkman caps though, and clearly a boost to the Donegal shillelagh industry. I say let them do their sychronised walking and Beach Boys covers.

El Siglo

They are scum of the earth, absolutely take over Belfast so they do with their little shitty marches. If you're not part of it, then you're told to stay in your homes... Awful so it is.

There was absolutely no call for marching outside that church, that wasn't on a parade route and was totally unnecessary. It was just sheer provocation and vindictiveness on their part.

I hope the Parades Commission does something about it but probably nothing will come of it. Really is a disgrace to see that kind of bigotry in this day and age.

Have to laugh at the BBC for their completely unbiased and objective portrayal of the Orange Order et al. with this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-18769781

No, let them have these bastards march around Dublin and see how they fucking like it for a day.

It's a public holiday up here, but there's no holiday atmosphere just intimidation.

Hopefully those videos show the Sindo type posters here what the Loyalist bands(they'd welcome them in Dublin) are really like, open their eyes, kinda education.

It used to be worse years ago when it went on for about two weeks and instead of two days.

I'm all for embracing a tolerant, open society but welcoming an organisation founded on sectarianism is totally stupid and blind. Not everything should be tolerated.

tbh the marching/bands/provocation loses all it's impact if you choose to ignore it, or allow it right into the devilish heart of popery. If it doesn't provoke a response it become rather less appealling to the bigots. The parades might never be an inclusive affair, but they certainly used to be non-contentious - and they can be again.

I've enjoyed the odd march in Derry - it's mostly high camp if you ignore the antagonists.

There's sectarianism in Ireland now! :eek:

You appear to be confused, the North of Ireland is in the hands of Grand Bretagne, the French colony. That would make it a different country entirely. Sadly the Muppets Responsible see no particular reason to stop the natives fighting one another, since this perpetuates the rule of said Muppets, in a sorry trend of miserable mismanagement that has been the hallmark of british rule throughout its wretched history.

many hard line Loyalists would go to lengths to try and spark up a resurgence of Republican violence. Provocative marches like this one outside the church are done for this very reason... in the hope that Republicans would weaken their position at the table in Stormount

Well then stop whinging about the lack of atmosphere on a holiday you don't subscribe to. No-one is forcing you to stay or leave - your choice.

It was bigots like these that gave the ira the biggest recruitment campaign it ever had. This order is nothing to do with culture. It has its roots in vigilante groups like the peep o day boys. It strenghtens my theory that britian would rather lose northern Ireland. I feel sorry for anyone whatever their religion who has to put up with these bigots.

Its not so much of a laugh if you're stuck in your house while some shower who haven'r copped on that its not the 1500's anymore troop past. Yesterday they bussed themselves 6 miles instead of marching - just so they could march down the only part of the route that was contested.

Then why did the YCV have march outside a Catholic Church, in North Belfast, singing sectarian songs? Was that needed? They already got to go through the Ardoyne, they had their parade routes agreed upon. There was absolutely no need to go right in front of that church.

Do Republicans march down the Shankhill? No they don't and there would be hell to pay if they did but yet it's deemed ok for that lot to march where they are clearly not welcome flying the butchers apron.

The ol' 'just ignore it' spiel, such naivety. It's impossible to ignore - what do you want people to do? Wear ear protectors, blindfolds and lock themselves in a darkened room for a month?

It's a marching season not a marching day; did that fact pass you by or are you just here in a failed attempt to be condescending?

Are you serious? So if you don't like it, tough? Well, that's a great mentality to subscribe to. However, if you don't like it you are allowed to air your displeasure, that's free speech and freedom of expression, the same free freedoms that allow these scum to parade around the place. So no, I don't like it and shouldn't have to be forced to leave. Would you tell the people in Ardoyne the same? Why should the hegemony of one group force the rest of us into acquiescence.

The irony of a bunch of jaffa scottish immigrant brain donors playing that song while in Ireland.

It would be the equivalent of a Klan cross burning in Freetown.

It's not like it's a surprise when it comes around each year though - if you don't want to be cooped up all day, then make sure you're out for the day - half the prods are off in Ibiza, - which seems the best plan given the alternative is closed shops and nothing to do at best. I've been manhandled by the eejits they walk ahead of the bands - I've no blinkers as to the motivations of many involved, but - parity of esteem and all that - if they really want to do this, and it's undoubtedly part of their cultural heritage, then they should be let knock themselves out - even in Dublin if that's what floats their boat. Ulster-Scots on the other hand... Now that's taking the piss.

Pedant

And people wonder why there's riots? I mean come on, this is just utter provocation.

Imagine what would happen if the Ancient Order of Hibernians had a spectacle like that outside an Anglican Church in NI singing anti-British songs - what do you think the reaction would be?

It's just terrible. I mean communities who've been there a lot longer than those Ulster-Scots are being told to "go home". Who the fudge do they think they are? I wonder who should be telling who to "go home"? It's utterly pathetic.

The Orange Order are one of the main catalysts for tensions in NI, as ever. Hope they get banned. They talk about improving intercommunal relations, etc.., but how are the Orange Order helping that?

You don't see any exclusively Catholic bands marching around behaving like that. Why can't Catholics and Protestants just get along as they do in the Republic?

Nobody is saying they can't march. The problem is marching in nationalist areas and deliberate provocation.

Like I say - no-one is forcing you to stay or leave. Likewise no-one is stopping you 'air your displeasure'. Likewise I'm free to point out that you're whinging about the lack of atmosphere on a holiday that you don't actually subscribe to.

'Hegemony'? How's that impacting on you now?
