Good old Burnley. The Order may soon be the saviour of Great Britain as more and more 3rd world anti Christians enter our beautiful lands. Warm handshake from Scotland.
I live in England but I hope to get across next year for the 12th. Makes me so proud when I hear these bands. I know they have them here but it's just not the same.
You must. Having returned last week, I'm still in a state of partial Euphoria! Make sure you attend an 11th night bonfire too. Larne has the biggest. These people are the best of British. Happy simply at being themselves. Something we in England can rarely and barely experience.
The Orange tradition is incredible. In Scotland, we celebrate every Saturday before the 12th and the streets in Glasgow are mobbed. Best wishes, from Loyalist Scotland.
Observation on this years 12th. The Belfast bands are all booming in membership, to the point where it would be good for new areas to consider forming new bands as the interest and numbers is clearly there. Would be great to see some Pipe, Silver or Accordion bands formed in Belfast it would really add to the colour of the day. Another observation is that lodges need to boost their memberships, very poor show for many.
I believe there is a reason for this. Secularisation Despite what many would try claim, those that join the Order would tend to be practicing protestants, obviously there are still many who aren't practicing and join the Order but in general those that join are more religiously inclined even if you couldn't call them practicing. Those that join bands and not the Order tend to be "Cultural protestants". They aren't religious at all.
This is not Irish culture. You can dress up this rubbish by writing in Irish Gaelic, but it is no more Irish culture than there is a man on the moon waving down at you. You Muppet.
The Orange Order were considering shortening the route for this year. Fortunately this plan has been cancelled and it will maintain the traditional route.
@@Sixteen90 Why ? To appease Westminster multicultural sensitivities? Meanwhile,they laugh at us behind our backs,mugs for accepting their failed ,flawed enrichment ideal ,which is basically divide and rule. No, the OO must not comply,pander or appease. All the best to you.
The mad thing is the Pope sent mercenaries, regiments and officers over to assist William and the victory helped the Pope to retain powers he controlled, as quoted an enemy of yours is an enemy of mine 🤔
Where is your source of information from? Remember papist France and Spain collaborated to fight Protestantism.These were bloody times,but they will return. Probably all Christian sects may unite to oppose the new threat Islam.
So this is an exaggerated half truth. Yes the pope did support William as they were part of the same alliance against France. But he didn't financially or physically support him. And he also turned against him in 1693
Don’t think it’s close to dying at all over 40 bands just for the Belfast 12th alone?? And I was there the crowds are always there in the way back more than the way there
@pugna.3772my dear sir i can assure you I was under thee vain mistaken impression that these ulster paddy ragamuffins could endeavour to play well with their instruments but alas it wasn't my ritz cup of tea chap.
@@PapaPalpatine666 You should search for Irish Republican flute bands then.......they're truly horrific ! Thanks for going out of your way to click, watch and comment. 👍
