I was in Moneydig in 1990. Great wee place, walked in Maghera in the morning before going to limavady for the twelth parade. It rained and rained and rained.
Shankill Protestant Boys - average age about 59/60. Musical ability? Close to zero. IQ? Hmmh! Except for the big, big drummer. His IQ is straining to pass 60 points. Thinks he is supposed to beat the drum to death. Has mistaken it for some innocent Catholic passer-by. This is the cultural peak of the Orange/Black movement. Not stunning, is it?
Pathetic! Well past your sell by date. It’s about time all these Orange Parades were consigned to history, where they belong. This sort of sight fills me with despair for the future of children in NI. Whatever chance do they have when they’re brought up on old divisions & hatreds.
