I've been ranting about what happened in Aberdeen when they tried to have an Orange March here... Let me first of all point out that Aberdeen is a Heathen City. Noone appears to know if they are Catholic or Protestant and the most obvious display of religious affiliation is the hare krishna that stands outside Markies on a saturday looking for donations. I was 14 until I asked my mum if we were either. Noone cares, religious hate is minimal.
So the Glasgow Orange Lodge decided they were going to have an Orange March down the main street. Protests were made. "We'll have none of that here!" cried Aberdeen in one voice...
It was a bright sunday morning when I left my flat to go in to town for a few afternoon girlie drinks. The March had begun. The protestors had been rounded up by the police and locked in the local...
None left to protest but the little old ladies, who were spitting on the marchers and shouting "We'll have none of your _religion_ here!!!"
