The better together campaign are distancing themselves from the march and the "yes" are urged to avoid.

Just not going to happen is it

I'm surprised they got sponsorship from Orange for this, most phone companies wouldn't touch politics with a barge pole. If they did, o2 could sponser the no campaign and become Oh No for the day. Or EE could become Aye Aye.

Does this mean that everyone in the Orange Order is a No voter?

Why is such an organisation getting involved in a Scottish referendum? Forgive me if I am ignorant but do they not have stronger ties with Ireland and not Scotland?

I don't think this should be allowed, there is a time and place for the Orange Order and this isn't one of them.

For the record I would say the exact same about the Hibernians too.

"Police Scotland later said the march passed peacefully with no arrests. Around 15,000 participants and 110 Orange Lodge bands took part and several thousand spectators turned out to watch the event, police said."

So the doom and gloom from the YES voters about the thing turning into a mass brawl must have been scaremongering..oh sorry cant use that as the SNP have that as their chant.

This thread is highly embarrassing and highlights much of what is wrong with small minded Scotland.

If the Orange Order or Republicans wish to march on the Queen's highway let them do it.

The problem comes when opposition sides start mud slinging, mischief making and generally telling lies about things they know nothing about.

Ok lets look at something. If they had been playing secterian songs they would have been stopped and action taken by the police.

Who cares if they are a flute band, its someone playing a musical instrument to show support of a No vote.

There are others who are putting on musical shows to show support for the Yes vote.

You are looking for trouble that was obvioulsy not there at the march as the police said no arrests were made. You are trying to make some sort of point and now clutching at straws. You really wanted there to be trouble and arrests by the sounds of what your trying to push on this forum.

Are the music events for the Yes campaign playing all folk music? I doubt it very much either.

Sectarianism should be a thing of the past

It would be too if adults didn't teach hatred to their kids

I would say that its people like yourself that cause all sorts of rumours and issues just because "You think" they did something at what turned out to be a very peaceful march (according to Police Scotland, unless you want to call them liars).

YOu really have to take the blinkers off. It was NOT a secterian march. It was a march by an organisation to show their support for the Union. Showing that support is in no way secterian.

Why dont you phone up Police Scotland 0131 226 7273 and ask them if secterian songs where played. You seem really intent on trying to prove that they were. Police Scotland said the march went off with no arrests. If someone was breaking the law then they would have been arrested and Police Scotland would have reported this. Again are you saying that Police Scotland are liars?

The march was aimed at support the Union. If this was a bunch of muslims with women in wearing burqa what would people be saying?

I believe in the democratic process that you are allowed to march and show your support for whatever cause as long as it is legal and not likely to cause public disorder.

Having seen Wee Eck's goons at first hand and having heard from 2 sources about their Nurember style rallies with blue shirted minders I would be more worried about them.

As for Jim Siller's warning about a "day of reckoning" once they get into power then that is truly scary. I'm not saying they are Nazis but they are treading a fine line between reasoned debate and intimidation

When, in a democracy, you start banning public demonstrations because you don't like what they say, you are on the slippery slope towards autocracy.

I don't like the OO, hate what it stands for.

However, I do defend it's right to 'demonstrate'.

It is a sign of a fair society that allows those it disagrees with to openly air those _iews.

Actually that figure was from the guardian who published the tweet and later removed it as it was from an "unofficial" source.

I did say 15,000 in OP before any figures were actually released by police Scotland, you heard it hear first

happy days for Bigotry,

Ffs how often are you going to be able to say that.

The march was aimed at support the Union. If this was a bunch of muslims with women in wearing burqa what would people be saying?

Like I said before I dont support the Orange Order nor do I think the marches are right, but I do believe that folk are allowed to show their support for something, which they have.

Oh goody,an non secterian orange march,that included tims.

When, in a democracy, you start banning public demonstrations because you don't like what they say, you are on the slippery slope towards autocracy.

I don't like the OO, hate what it stands for.

However, I do defend it's right to 'demonstrate'.

It is a sign of a fair society that allows those it disagrees with to openly air those _iews.

I wouldn't ban the marches,

they just creep me out a bit.

I can't understand any organisation,

that relies on the tolerance of others,

To demonstrate their intolerance of others.

Is that ironic.

Being a no supporter myself,

For the first time in my life,

My my my, what a shocking comment.

I hope you never get selected for jury duty as you clearly don't need any evidence before pronouncing guilt."
It is well publicised the Orange order parades bring trouble when they are out. Hate filled and racist followers ( not all but most) I have seen first hand the trouble they bring there is NO place for them in modern society

You cant ban the marches or the demonstartions. How far do you take it then? Ban Gay Pride? Bad the May day parade? Ban the military marching thru the cities/towns? Ban people wanting to protest about things?

Sorry but we cant do that we are a democratic soceity and no matter how vile we may find things its what makes democracy work.

Today at Braehead there was a demonstration and people entered the building with Free Palistine shirts and banners and saying dont buy from Jerico. They were moved outside peacefully and continued their demonstartion peacefully.

I am sure some folk did not agree with them in particular members of the Jewish community as it did say dont buy Israel goods. But these people were exercising their democratic right.

Will the support from North Korea boost the Yes campaign also ?

Love this from the North Koreans...

"I believe that every person has the right to be a member of an independent nation, to have sovereignty, to live in peace and to enjoy equality," he said. "And I believe that a majority of Scots feel the same and will vote for independence."

Yeah lets be like North Korea...

"Truly believe ALL sectarian marches should be banned. Catholic and Protestant.

They are nothing but an excuse for bigots to take to the streets and encourage religious hatred.

couldnt agree more

That's a big agree from me to. Intolerance is the death of swinging.

We do need to be careful though, with the vote around 50:50 there will be an awful lot of disappointed people either way it goes - we really do not want to end up with troubles like happened in N.I.

""Police Scotland later said the march passed peacefully with no arrests. Around 15,000 participants and 110 Orange Lodge bands took part and several thousand spectators turned out to watch the event, police said."

So the doom and gloom from the YES voters about the thing turning into a mass brawl must have been scaremongering..oh sorry cant use that as the SNP have that as their chant.

Don't think there was any Yes scaremongering at all. We just recommended that people stay away. Why give such an out of date and biggoted movement any justification?

So they did, it passed peacefully and a bunch congregated in Glasgow instead and had a bit of a party - also peacefully.

Surely by default the people are the organisations and what they represent? You can't have the organisation without the people having a desire to be there.

That be a yes then

In this country you are innocent until proven guility.

excuse me but not once did I say they caused trouble ?

I asked what the relevance of a sectarian march was to the Scottish referendum?

YOu really have to take the blinkers off. It was NOT a secterian march. It was a march by an organisation to show their support for the Union. Showing that support is in no way secterian."
