My rude Cornish friend once said to me, that I'd get up on a frog, if it only stopped hopping. Now, of course this is not true but I put that down to his British conditioning. As I said before, mature women are my strict diet and as I get older, the more mature they are, with a decent bit of flesh on them the better, which is more akin to my acquired taste. Now in a tolerant, patient, civilized society, this is fortunately, not true for everyone. It would be damn boring, if everyone was on this diet. Now at the same time, there are also boundaries, as to what is permissible, and what is beyond the pale, which can only be decided by the conscience of a free, democratic, sovereign state. Now as we all know, in the blue shirt free state, up to recently, sex with children was unofficially permitted but then that is not a free sovereign state, no more than the Orange one in the north, so all sorts of perversions have crept into both, with a little mentoring, from the British, to serve their interests. Now the latest phenomena, that has reared it's Orange goat's head, is bestiality, which is a traditional part of Orange culture and caused considerable controversy last night, at Dublin City's council meeting, where a decision was postponed, with regard to allowing the Orange goat lovers, to march down O'Connell Street to Leinster House, the seat of blue shirt Government in Ireland. The controversy is caused by the considerable risk, of some obscene, bestial, extrovert behavior happening outside Leinster House. Some were shouting at the meeting, "Kill them with Kindness," while others, hadn't a kind word to say about the matter at all.
You see a certain born and bred Orange gentlemen, by the name of Willie, in fact most of them are called Willie, along with their goats, have a particular affinity with fondness for Dublin. They desperately want to parade down there, to declare in full public view, their Orange Order culture, in a parade they have called, 'Love Ulster,' which other free Irish thinkers, have called, 'Free Willie in Dublin'. Now the story on how Willie and his goat, developed this affinity with Dublin is an odd one, a very odd one indeed. When I tell this story to my friends, many of them do not believe me and for those of you who wish to research this story, you will need to travel to South Armagh and do your own research there, by calling around to the homes of the locals and asking the pertinent questions and you will find that what i am saying is absolutely true. You can also call in and check it with the Sinner Fein centres in Camlough and Newry. As the old saying goes, sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.
You see a long time ago, when a certain Willie was a young boy, he lived in South Armagh, where goats milk was the stable diet, among many families. That is why, you will find people from South Armagh, are all, mostly, strong, hardy people, with big strong bones. Now this was a time before the British Army invaded and before the latest troubles. Now course the Brits, when they were doing their secret surveillance at night, were intrigued by all of this, they noticed many of the rebels were addicted to goats milk and before they would head off for a night's work crossing the fields, they would lie down underneath the goats teats and suck them dry. This activity made the goats very horny and they would try to do a 69, by nibbling at the crotch of the milker, and apparently they were successful, in opening a few Orange flies, where the goats continued on relentlessly with some goat fellatio and aroused the God fearing Orangemen to great heights of passion. Well one thing led to another and that is how riding the goat entered Orange Order culture. Now of course for some, this activity became habitual and deep meaningful relationships developed, to the point where they took their goats to bed with them. Fortunately for the Catholics, the good altar boys would not partake in such activity because they were put off sex by the Priests already.
Now I know some of you are still skeptical and regard me as biased or even sectarian but this is absolutely not the case. You see the reason I am familiar with all of these details is, that when I used to be taken in for interrogation in Gough Barracks, one of their tactics they used to try and break me, was they would throw numerous photographs in front of me, with certain Republicans engaging in bestiality. However when I examined the photos carefully, I could see they were photoshopped with heads of Republicans superimposed on the bodies of certain well-known loyalist politicians. Well of course, the Brits made hay, with those sort of tactics but not in my case. They also threw photographs of altar boys being raped by priests in front of me and I am convinced, that a lot of the politicians in Ireland are working for the British for these reasons. This is particularly true of the legal profession in Ireland too, particularly ones who became judges in Diplock Courts where justice is next to impossible in Ireland. This tradition is very strong, among the elite, in both the Roman and British Empire is very strong, as any historical researcher can confirm.
Anyway, to get back to the Willies in South Armagh, one of them was constantly 'mithered' as a young boy, which also made his father 'mithered,' to the point of that he spoke to his neighbours about the problem, The neighbours being the kind people they are, in that part of Ireland advised Willies father, to give him goats milk, after which he improved a bit. However, Willie couldn't stop drinking the goat's milk, it was like Guinness to him. Willie became a goataholic and after his initiation into the secret Orange Order, which includes a ceremony, that every Orangeman must 'ride' a goat, to protect the Order's secrecy, as a form of blackmail, Willie became addicted to goats in a most total fashion. Willie developed a very meaningful relationship with a particular goat his father gave him, and Willie was 'mithered' no longer. This was grand until the time came for Willie to get married, as every God-fearing man of the orange culture must do to procreate in South Armagh. Well, Willie's wife was a contrary sort of a woman, so himself and Iris, came to an arrangement, where they slept in separate beds, and she was presented with a male goat to keep her happy in bed. This is also a considerable part of God fearing Orange Order culture, which is often not particularly, people friendly and makes it difficult to absorb into Irish culture. Having said that, as a recovering alcoholic myself, who has ridden most prostitutes from here to Amsterdam, to have a bit of craic, while sober, I wouldn't be the best judge of that.
I learned in sobriety, that we are as sick as our secrets, and God knows Ireland is full of secrets, principally because it was invaded through the back door, by two Empires, where secret intelligence and secret societies, are at a premium, and in fact largely rule our Island for others, particularly using the very religious. So to get back to South Armagh long ago, it appears that a local Catholic farmer, having more than a few pints in him came out of a pub and still wasn't satisfied. He had an awful lip on him, for a drop of goats milk and it was the middle of the night. He was trying to figure out, where he would get hold of a decent goat, when it came to him, that there was one up in the local Orange Hall, which was kept, strictly for their initiation ceremonies, so he decided to stumble up there. He got in the back door and there was the goat all alone tucked up in bed, with Orange lipstick on it, which is also an important part of Orange Order culture. Anyway, the goat didn't recognize Murphy as one of his own and asked him in a goat sort of way, where was he from. Well, Murphy being a cute hoor, told him he was from an Orange Lodge in Dublin and got into bed with the goat and sucked its tits. Well the goat was aroused as always but still wasn't convinced, so he nibbled around at Murphy's crotch to sniff him out, and found that he was exceptionally well hung, far better than what he was used to at the Orange Lodge but Murphy would have none of it and stumbled out the back door on his way home. After that, the goat always had a yen for Dublin.
In later years this goat became Willies particular partner and one night while Iris was keep quiet by her own particular male goat, Willie and his goat were engaged in some intimate pillow talk, when the goat brought up the subject of Dublin and Willie hit the roof in a rage and started to beat the goat, which got the attention of Iris. The goat eventually calmed Wille down, with plenty of Dublin neighs, Ulster says neigh, etc, but the cat was out of the bag and Iris had heard about the well endowed jackeens from Dublin, whereupon she decided to get a Dublin toy boy. Well, the culture with goats, spread like wildfire into Tyrone, up to Cookstown and Enniskillen, indeed all over the loyalist north and it didn't confine itself to goats either, every farmyard animal was abused. Iris got several toy boys in Dublin and told her girlfriends about it, who did the same, which caused considerable resentment towards Dublin, in the Orange Order culture, until it was eventually decided, among all of the Willies, that they would march on Dublin, in a parade to be known as, 'Love Ulster.' The last time they tried it there was a riot in Dublin and it had to be canceled, so now they are trying again, which brings us to the issue that confronts Dublin City Council. Personally I believe there should be no problem, if they rename the 'march', 'Free Willy in Dublin' but as I said earlier, who am I to judge? Live and let Live, at least leave the kids alone, I mean the human ones of course but then Animal Cruelty might see it differently.
This article is not about any particular individual and while mostly true, any similarity with any particular person is not intentional.No inference can be drawn to any particular person or family.The picture at the top, is of the organizer of the march but the article is totally a separate matter and a general a caricature of the many commoners with the name Willie, while the Murphys are probably the most common name in Ireland, After that, I hope I have upset everyone in Ireland with secrets, particularly of the religious variety.
Up the Irish Pagans!

Tell me whats wrong with beastiality? The animal is not harmed nor forced, Loyalists treat there animals way better then taigs, there mates not pets and most Orange lodge’s will never discard them just because they have been rejected. For example horses, Orangemen that love horses will never send them to the slaughter house thats just sick ! after all the horses have done for us in the past and this is how we repay them no use kill them and eat!

Sex with animal is legal… What a sick and decadent world we live in. And there are neanderthals retards like Spirit and Britain defendig it (“what`s wrong with bestiality?” is a question that only a retard moron would asks
Most people worry about other peoples pleasures and forget entirely about thier own and waste thier lives trying to stop us, its insane since most of the people eat products that are made from different animals.
The animals killed to make food often suffer so much in the process and ultimately die, its depressing. I would love to communicate with the animal on the next level. If people don't like it, then why even try to change our ways, it wont work! There will always be a community of us and as long as British Occupied Ireland on the map it seems that it will remain legal.
Orange Grand Mister
You UNDERSTAND the emotional component of this.
To all you nay-sayers, I suggest you do some research & get your FACTS straight when you make pronouncements like ‘sickko’ & such.
Shows your level of underatanding! Its NOT ‘sick’ as you put it! Ask ANY shrink. Orangeism is NOT a mental illness, merely a harmless paraphillia; ie a FETISH!
As LONG as no harms done to man or beast, WHAT is the problem? You dont like it? DONT Do it simple!
YOU have no RIGHT to tell others who or what they can make love to!
Get some logic, THEN come back and argue against the subject with LOGIC, like we do, NOT the irrational emotional rantings all of you fun spoliers seem to scream with, with child like raving tantrums!
Time to grow UP people! This is reality! Its always been here! GET used to it!

People that have sex with animals are true evil as it say’s in the bible (Lev 18:23) in (20:15-16) it states “No man or woman shall lay with a beast if so he shall be put to death and kill the beast” It’s considered just as evil as brother and sister having sex. It means you have the right to kill anybody who has sex with their siblings or animals and god won’t punish the killer.
So don’t even compare yourself to any other group because your pure evil in itself by yourself. Your truly are sick and depraved I hate you as much as I hate child molesters and you all shall pay in the after life. I’m not gay but I don’t hate or want to kill them. I know gay people that are not perverts You beastiality motherfuckers need to die.
God Fearing Ulster
Also does it say in the bible that those that lie with another man or without marriage are vile pure evil sinners. The bible evolves through time, if go go back far enough in history all religions were told to hate one another and even some told there people to kill those of another religion of there own because there were pure evil. It all falls into your followings if you find it wrong then that is your beef, If Dalek finds it right than thats his own. But person I find it wrong to whore out your animals you don’t have that deep friendship as you would if it was your own animal how can you trust an animal that isn’t really yours. It is no longer about your passion and the love it is only about just fucking. There is a difference of those whom call them selves Beasts ( the are just after the sex) and those who call them selves Zoos ( The passion and love, not just about sex.)
Official Unionist
Now come on, you can’t just pick and choose. If you are going to cite the Bible on beastiality, then also cite it on homosexuality:
“If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.” – Leviticus 20:13
If you are using the Bible as your guide, then you should use the entire Bible, not just the parts you agree with because you are supposed to believe that it is the inspired word of God. Not just some parts of it, but the whole thing.
Ah, but I am not here to comdemn people to death for their sexual practices. The Bible does that, but it doesn’t speak for me. But, do we even need the Bible to know that this sex with animals is disgusting and detestable?
The answer is no. The average person anywhere in the world, regardless of religion, is dismayed and shocked by the practice because it is wholly unnatural and shows a deviation from the norm.
Such people who practice zoophilia are deviants who are going down a sick path. Of course, they take offense to being called “evil” or “sick” and want special status as a minority group with rights. There are new groups like this springing up all over the world demanding their right to do whatever they want to do. Of course, if they do it, and the only harm they do is to their own body, mind and soul, then I believe they do have that right. However, since it is such a repulsive practice, they should not be surprised that the general population finds it very disgusting and out of pure repulsion, people will very likely attack them either verbally or physically if they catch them doing it.
So my position is somewhere between the extremes: on one side is the militant zoophile who wants his “right” to have sex with animals to be normalized in society or at least left alone to go to the barnyard brothels. On the other extreme are those who quote the Bible and are really willing to kill a human being over this issue.
If I ever saw this being done, I would be disgusted and I really don’t know what I would do. I doubt that I would attack the person doing it, but I would certainly show my disgust with it.
As for those who have tried it and are getting hooked on it. You have a real problem and need to get help before it takes over your life. Your goal should be to have normal sexual activity with a member of the opposite sex and leave this obsession behind you. There are a lot better things to be doing with your life anyway. There is also a New World Order and frankly, these kinds of craziness are part of it.
I blame all the Paddys for the problems with the beasts, back in there land they would fuck and thing that has half a hole. that's how aids got started a Paddy fucked a monkey and bingo aids got spread.

That is such a pathetically stupid comment, “lost in un-reality”.
Why does this article attract so many retards? I guess it’s in the title, but it should also be read by level-headed decent God fearing people, just so they understand that there is this sickness running through society and it needs to be addressed.
It’s actually scary how many hits it has been getting, hundreds every day for months. There are a lot of you out there and I don’t just mean loyalists, but also religious nuts and assorted racists chiming in..

You know what? Your racism is just as filthy and disgusting as the animal fuckers. There is no difference between you and them. You are all a bunch of…I almost said ‘animals’… but truth is animals are better than you all.
It’s just sad, so sad how degenerate and crazy people are and they have no shame or desire to change. It is one thing to have a problem and admit it, but it is quite another to revel in it. That is a sign of spiritual darkness, a diseased mind.

Oh yeah, another Orange psycho head case.

Wow, what a crazy. I feel bad for animals. Those people have no rights to do that.
I agree only that like what seems to be the majority, bestiality, Orangeism or whatever one wishes to call it is unacceptable to the vast majority of people worldwide, or at least that is my impression.
Like many, I have to consider it some sort of mental problem or just plain sick.
Uncle Sam
Ugh… this makes me feel sick. I understand that bestiality has been around forever. However, it has normally been kept secret due to society’s disapproval. But in Britin they are doing it openly, apparently with the approval of society? How low can British go?
Henry,
Exactly. Next the necrophiliacs will be demanding their “rights” to defile corpses in graveyards. And it goes on…
Celtic
The ‘orangies, necro and beasties’ argument is similar. None of their partners are complaining.
Joc Stein
No, no, no. Don’t be dense. I don’t at all agree. I was agreeing with you that undoubtedly the next step will be ‘rights’ on the basis that none of the victims, only the tiags are complaining.
Jinky
Well, I couldn’t see how we were to construe “None of their Orange partners are complaining” any other way. But I will accept what you say based on your qualification. You should have qualified it the way you just did to make your position clear. Sorry from my end for misunderstanding you.

Sick f*cks….I wish the worst on you sick bastards, hope someone or something rapes you see how you like it.
Matty's church
to all the “orangies” or “animal lovers” or whatever, You claim its you “right”, and its better to have sex with an animal than to eat it? Tell me, How can you prove the animal is willing? I don’t think you can. Therefore what you do is rape as well! Now excuse me while I go puke! Jesus’s return draws near!!

Royal Black Chapter
I love this blog. It’s like a zombie movie, but the characters are not dead, just hopelessly and blindly absorbed with themselves. Zoophiles who think they are in romantic love with animals, Nazis who blame Jews for their beer guts, hemorrhoids and jock itch, Christians who believe that every word of the Bible is direct communication from an all-powerful invisible friend. Then there is Royal Black, whose members somehow understand how a horse emotionally interprets sex with a human.

…and I REALLY love animals. I consider my dogs to be friends. I truly love them dearly. I understand communication and affection across species. But I’m not sticking my dick in them. That’s disgusting…and nothing more than what I think.

Thanks to you, too. Your input to this seems consistently sane. I appreciate that your “weapon of choice” is common sense. The only thing that borders on the insane is that both of us are spending time addressing orangies, Nazis, fundies and others who care absolutely nothing about what anyone else thinks or says.

So it’s OK to have sex with animals, as long as they don’t get hurt?
What does one do, ask the horse if he likes getting porked in the ass by a pervert?

people will have sex with anything these days, makes you sick.

first of all what nasty son of a bitch would want to sleep with a smelly animal. Second of all the male parts on these animals is disqusting. Completely gross, This world is coming to an end. who cares what feels good. just because it feels good doesn’t mean it is moral and right. People just can go around an do whatever they want. It is completely disqusting and I hope everyone who does this will burn in hell. and they probably will. What a sick world this has come too. Not to mention that is how Aids came about, some sick fucker slept with a monkey. probably how the swine flu came about. And the animal doesn’t get hurt. animals have a sense of right and wrong, they know that it’s not right. not to mention it would also be like, well I can sleep with my house keeper, because she is less of a species than me, as long as I don’t hurt her. Go to church people, this road is going to send you all straight to hell
Hibernian
What the f**cks wrong with all the do gooders, the is no GOD and if there were a GOD he wouldn’t have allowed such things to on. I don’t agree with animale sex altho i have done it as a dare when i was younger, now days i would rather a 3 some with a couple. GOD is a fairytale made up many years ago, he never was and never will be. Get over it and leave people to there own doings.
Clonard Monastery
I say to each his own. I mean as long as no person or beast is harmed there shouldn’t be a problem. I personally never participated in it but there are things I do that would be frowned upon andI wouldn’t want to be judged by it. As far as the Bible goes yes it does say its ok to kill someone that does this but it also says your children should be put to death for cursing at you or being a brat… so what does that tell you? Everyone has there things the do behind closed door and its usually the 1st ones the point the finger who have the biggest secret. No one is perfect so we should be so harsh and so quick to judge.

SHOULDN’T be so harsh an so quick to judge*

This is about abusive power not sex, hence this is why I’d expect a few Bilderbergers to be doing this kind of thing.
Sister Mary
Most sensible answer yet. and the truest…
There are two basic reasons why this is occurring.1) The spread of Pagan Practices by the CONDEMNED Tribe of Dan from antiquity.2) The continued deliberate undermining of the word of God and destruction of Morals and family values by the same God-less beings and the Secret Societies they belong to. Read the book “The Curse of Canaan” a Demonology of History By Eustace Mullins for a concise well researched book on untold, behind the scenes history you are not meant to know about. Reality is stranger than fiction and this is not fiction! Remember, God has no secrets with his children…so who does?

Wait a minute, you mean after some perverted farmers and their friends have sex with their cows and pigs…they import them to America and we’ve been eating them? No wonder Organic Home Grown was invented. Gotta go and brush my teeth I just had a BLT.
Gun conrol
So what if people fuck animals?
At least they don’t go around shooting children i schools…
Socialist
It’s funny when fucking idiots want to control other people’s lives when they are having fun. I believe that if both of the subjects are not hurt and that both subjects don’t mined intercourse with each other (in mined the human being the one receiving action from the animal) I believe that it is not wrong.
Atheist
I can’t believe that something as disturbing as animal brothels exist in British Occupied Ireland.. I don’t understand what kind of loyalist people run them and more importantly pay to sleep with animals. It is certainly a warped society we live in, where this is allowed. And i’m not sure how any country would allow this. I believe there have been countries in the past where pedophilia and necrophilia were also legal, which again is even sicker.
There is something wrong with a country’s society and government that allows legal animal brothels, even worse people defending them and even admitting to being Orangemen. However they put it. Orangemen abuse. They take advantage. They molest animals. Some animals can die such as snakes and chickens and other small beasts. But also it’s a form of cruelty messing with there heads and forcing themselves on animals. I mean if an Orangeman just pounced on a woman in the street and started having sex with her. he’d be quite rightly be seen as a sexual predator.
Orangeman who needs to be stopped and animals need to stop suffering in silence
California babble
I think everyone is missing the point. People who have sex with animals are obviously missing something in their life and trying to fill it with this. If we actually address real human needs instead of pigeon holing everyone, this sort of thing would not be so prolific. Everyone needs to stop the hate and get an idea.The Salvation Army
Many Caucasians have 4% Neanderthal DNA, so this kind of practice of having sex with animals is normal for them. Please do the research and you will find this to be a scientific fact.
In Northern Ireland - A Grotesque Carnivals of Vilification
By Finian Cunninghamuly 14, 2013 "Information Clearing House - To many people around the world, the violence in Northern Ireland this weekend may seem incomprehensible. After all, it is nearly 15 years since the political conflict in the British province of Ireland was officially declared over, with the signing of the.
That agreement was meant to signal the peaceful end of a nearly 30-year conflict that cost the lives of more than 3,000 people, which proportionate to the population of Northern Ireland represented a huge number of deaths.
Now it appears that street violence has once again returned with scenes over the weekend from the main city Belfast looking like a war zone. Dozens of policemen were injured in riots, properties and vehicles were set ablaze, family homes were targeted by petrol bombs and hundreds of police reserves had to be flown in from England, Scotland and Wales to back up the overstretched security forces.
Adding to the bewilderment of observers is that the rioting crowds are supporters of a seemingly arcane institution called the Orange Order. Their members dress with strange-looking orange-coloured sashes, wear quaint black bowler hats and carry swords and flags to commemorate a battle that occurred more than 320 years ago between rival Protestant and Catholic English kings on Irish soil.
The commemoration of the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, in which Protestant King William of Orange defeated the Catholic King James, is held every year on the 12th July. The annual Orange marches are held by Protestant descendants of British settlers who invaded the North of Ireland as part of Britain’s colonial conquest and demographic engineering against the native, mainly Catholic Irish.
The truth is that every year these marches are accompanied by violence, even in recent years of so-called peace. Why? Because the Orange Order was from its inception nearly 200 years ago set up deliberately as a sectarian instrument of British colonial domination in Ireland. The Order was exclusively Protestant, pro-British and rabidly anti-Catholic. The British colonial authorities fomented the Order and its vicious sectarianism as a way of driving a wedge between the communities and in particular to subjugate the rebellious Irish.
British partition of Ireland in 1921 into a nominally independent southern state and a British-run northern province has always been a bone of contention for the northern pro-independence Irish. They have felt alienated within a British gerrymandered northern state, denied of their national rights and dominated by a false pro-British Protestant majority. For the maintenance of this injustice, successive British governments have relied on the sectarianism of the Orange Order to enforce their unlawful imperialist presence in Ireland.
Every year, the pro-British Orangemen would march through the mainly Catholic nationalist villages, towns and areas of Belfast in a demonstration of the second-class status that the native Irish were assigned by the British authorities. The Orange Order and its triumphal boorish marches were aimed at denigrating the Irish Catholics, to remind them that the British state bestowed its favor on the Protestant, pro-Unionist community. The marchers would be draped with British Union flags and the foulest insults would be chanted or sung while the processions passed by Catholic homes and churches.
One of the popular songs of hatred sung by the Orangemen is ‘The Sash’. With drums banging out the rhythm, the marchers would sing: “We’re up to our knees in Fenian blood.” Can you imagine the humiliation and terror that Catholic households must have felt during these grotesque carnivals of vilification conducted right outside their homes?
Here is another example of the depraved mentality of these Orange marches. In one mainly Catholic area of Belfast called the Lower Ormeau a group of five unarmed men in a sporting office was slaughtered by a British paramilitary death squad in 1992. In subsequent years when the Orange marchers would parade past the Catholic residents, the Orangemen would in unison raise their arms with five fingers pointed at the households and neighbors of the murdered men. That was meant as a sickening degradation of that community aimed to demonstrate British-state-sanctioned superiority of the Orangemen.
Typically, the 12th July marches - thousands of them all across the British territory of Northern Ireland - would proceed in the morning through the Catholic areas on the way to a designated gathering point for dozens of Orange lodges emanating from different directions. All day in the field, the Orangemen and their paramilitary supporters would listen to bloodcurdling speeches denouncing Catholics as “enemies of the British state”. Copious amounts of alcohol would be consumed to fire up the hatred.
Then in the evening, the Orange marchers would make their return procession through the same Catholic areas that they had debased earlier that day. That is when the violence would often ignite, mostly provoked by the Orange side. To compare the Orange Order to the Ku Klux Klan is a fair assessment. Can you imagine the KKK being allowed to march through an African-American district of New York, Los Angeles or Georgia? Maybe a few centuries ago such a supremacist provocation could have happened against African-Americans. But only a few years ago, in the heyday of the British Orange state of Northern Ireland with its state-sanctioned discrimination against Catholics, the Orange Order would be fully facilitated in its provocative marches by the mainly Protestant-manned police force; and all with British government tacit approval from London.
Today, such outrageous state backing of sectarian provocation and humiliation is no longer acceptable or countenanced. The Good Friday Agreement of 1998 stipulated “equality” for all cultural traditions in Northern Ireland. The Police Service of Northern Ireland replaced the hated sectarian and death-squad-colluding Royal Ulster Constabulary, and a Parades Commission was set up to restrain the worst excesses of the Orange Order.
Nevertheless, it is still reprehensible that any Catholic community in Northern Ireland should have to endure any level of sectarian menace from the Orange Order and its paramilitary supporters. The latest violence in Northern Ireland has flared because the Parades Commission ruled that the Orangemen could not make their “traditional” return march through the Catholic North Belfast area of Ardoyne. During the decades of conflict, the community in Ardoyne saw hundreds of its people killed by British-state-sanctioned Protestant death squads. Yet, the same like-minded bigots in the Orange Order are aggrieved because their days of coat-trailing triumphalism through Catholic areas like the Ardoyne are now on the wane.
The Orange Order and its supporters make the absurd claim that such restrictions amount to “an erosion” of Pro-British Protestant culture. Of course, British media and politicians in London are wringing their hands over the latest upsurge in Orange violence.
London-appointed Northern Ireland minister Theresa Villiers said of the mayhem this weekend: “This sort of behavior does nothing to promote ‘Britishness’ or the pro-Union cause.”
Ms Villiers and her London government are woefully ignorant of history or are feigning ignorance. For it is precisely British colonial policy in Northern Ireland that instigated and fomented the sectarian psychosis of the Orange Order and its followers over many centuries and until recently. Every year, Irish people, both Catholic as well as many decent Protestants, have to endure the hate-filled legacy of British misrule in Ireland. The only viable long-term solution to Ireland’s ongoing political problem is for the British government to remove its unlawful imperialist presence in Northern Ireland, give way to long-denied Irish self-determination, and for the British misrulers to take their poisonous sectarianism with them.

divided as separate people. As long as the divided colonies do not make a serious effort to reach across the dividing line and respect the other half, the legacy of the British policies of divide and conquer will subjugate both sides. British mistreated the indigenous people of the colonies
as worthless animals, while they robbed them of their natural resources. British destroyed the humanity within their colonies, to me it seems like the Orange Order itself is victim of destruction by the British Colonialism.
Wherever the British have been, they have left division all around the world. They invented the Concentration camp and were engaged in a holocaust in Ireland that disappeared more than 6 and quarter million people.
Irish republicans do not engage in sectarianism, which is the anthitesis of what the principles of republicanism is about. Republicanism was taken to Ireland after the French revolution by Protestant leaders who originally established it in Ireland, where it still has many Protestant members.
Many if not most of active republicans are not in fact religious at all but British propaganda world wide like the BBC world service broadcast this lie world wide.
The problem is British colonialism. Currently despite a Peace Process in British Occupied Ireland they are politically interning Irish people without trial. For details seewww.releasemartincorey.com
When the population of any given nation begons to aggregate around social justice issues, demands for sane foreign and economic policy and cares and protections for the poor, the old clubs of division march against to their own drummers seeking marchers for their causes unknowingly dividing and conquering themselves in this way/
It's deceptive rhetorics that incite such arcane battles to rise up as memorials to days gone by past glories or newfound radical resistance against established orders. Is it really important if one is a Cathilic, Protestant, Millenial generation x,er or a baby boomer, liberal, conservative, gay straight or Jewish, Christian Islamic or other? Why do people even bring up these lines in human sands and instigate tensions between peoples? Is it history repeating itself, is it society so enthralled with combative competitiveness between sects, parties, money making and gun weilding prowess that we humans prefer agumentative hate fests to community appreciation days, acceptance of others as they are??? Is this natural for citizens under duress of bankers barkers and press charlatans to bicker and fight incessantly while their commons are brutally raped and pillaged by fat cats and their bullshit spewing theoreticians ? It may well be that the common folks of common bonds under the quack boots of empire cant get our shit together to mount a couter reprisal to the divisionists among us and in this state, we just bicker as neros fiddle while our neighborhoods burn down along ethnic, generational and egotistical lines in our sands not even drawn by us, but obeyed none the less by our lives. How often do Catholics get along well with Protesatants, how often to Gays get along well with straights, liberals with conservative, baby boomers with millenials, crats with gop, crown royals with their peon subjects? The answer is most of the time but as we see those nice times of congeniality, cooperative common bonds of poverty and human need for love make us friends rather than competitors.
Finian writes this up well, he decides not to throw wood on the fire and just decry the wrangling over old hurts and restates that Northern Ireland has troubles along political lines drawn on religious scripts, the religion is nothing, the politics is the problem, but look above, whom seeks to blame evry human toil trouble and burden on one thing alone when it is known, even in middle eastern strifes that reliion has nothing to do with the wars, it;s politicians exploiting writers bents of various sectarian divisions and sicking them on their quarry after pinching their hearts then blaming it on their religious counterparts. To my eyes, the worsening of these divisions isnt a natural thing at all, but a deviant strain of hatred encouraged by alpha dogs of their respective realms trying to aggregate power via fear of others under their domain names and auspicies, it isnt about people undying anomosity against each other, it;s about the instigators of such divisions remaining hidden behind the veils of their snarky and hatefully disgraced clubs/
