   The orange order had an afternoon and evening parade in my hometown for years. As the local orange men died, their numbers were not replenished. The lodge still stands but the parades have stopped for lack of members.

    

    

   The order members in a nearby more unionist town then started parading through our town centre. They got their bus to stop at one end of the town, paraded through it and got on their bus again, making their way home. The local parade that died out never went through the town centre…so much for traditional routes…

    

    

   Anyway, the blow ins got bored after a couple of years when their coat trailing was ignored by the townspeople. They now stay on their buses and head straight to their watering holes of choice for a night listening to Tiffany and Tina Turner.

    

    

   My hometown is now orange order free and I feel blessed.

    

    

   The fact that such an odious organisation is in receipt of public funds is nothing short of disgraceful.

    

    

   I pity anyone that has to experience at first hand the hate of the so called loyal orders.

   These days, many are sensitive to actual or perceived discrimination.

    

   We look back over centuries, consider street names, statues, university halls. We march, create slogans and kneel down before sporting events.

    

   Yet, we still enable hate marches on our streets. We still ignore sectarian and racist behaviour as required.

    

   In the past few years, I have read of 2 x industries in the 6 counties, where the workforce is largely from a single demographic. Harland and Wolfe and wright’s buses. Until we are consistent in our application of the Equality act, I will not get overly excited about the ‘bits’ of discrimination currently in vogue.

   The bonfires can cause tensions in some areas, but for other’s it’s an important way to celebrate British culture.
