Stonehaven Orange lodge 'will still open' despite parade being blocked

One councillor fears Stonehaven will become a "ghost town" when members arrive for the first meeting of the local branch later this month.

The opening of an Orange Order lodge in Stonehaven will go ahead despite the council rejecting the group’s controversial bid to hold a parade.

Several buses full of members – up to 200 people – are still expected to descend on the town on March 16 as they mark the launch of a local Orange branch.

The opening of a meeting place in Stonehaven has generated a heated reaction amongst locals, who have made their voices heard by signing a petition calling for a ban on the planned procession.

More than 10,000 signatures were collected and local councillors voted unanimously to halt the parade at a meeting yesterday.

Despite the defeat, the Orange Order confirmed they still plan to go ahead with the ‘grand opening’ on March 16, with members travelling from across Scotland to attend.

Executive officer of the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland, David Walters, told The P&J: “The Lodge will open as planned and all other activities will commence as planned.”

‘Wrong, wrong, wrong’

The Orange Order says the point of its parade is to commemorate the covenanting martyrs who were imprisoned and died in Dunnottar Castle.

They are appealing the decision to halt the parade, saying: “The Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland totally reject the council’s premise.

“At present, we are exploring our options with our legal team with a view to appealing to Aberdeen Sherriff Court.”

Councillor Wendy Agnew said she feared the order would use the covenanters “as an excuse” to march.

“That annoys me. They are using the covenanters as an instrument to walk and that is wrong, wrong, wrong,” she said.

Councillor Agnew fears that with coaches of people still expected to descend on the town, local businesses could close their doors.

“It could be like a ghost town,” she said.

Having lived in Stonehaven all her life, she said she could not recall residents having such a big reaction before.

She said: “It appears to be that they (the order) are going please themselves whatever, and that’s not really right in this day and age.

“Nobody has a right to disrupt the town.”

These cunts are getting slowly eradicated in Northern Ireland. They're looking for new areas to replace those.

Well, Belfast and Dublin are connected now, by an "urban corridor" as they call such things. Physically, municipally, these cities are effectively a single urban area. Ireland will become "united" but not in the way that was projected in the late 20th century. A lot of what was considered "Irishness" is shite anyway, St Patrick's Day made in China shit.

The world has changed, moved on, morphed, mutated, mingled, mangled and... other M-alliterations.

People try to push these new tribalisms, but it isn't working, because it starts on the web and ends on the web. Proper movements don't start that way. It's larping, it's a cyber-fetish. People want a quiet life these days. Jumping about like a revolutionary in this day and age is comical, all of these pale and pasty YouTube gurus, mouthy cunts need to lighten up and get a tan this summer. But they won't, they'll be ranting about Biden/Trump, etc. Fucking tedious, that shit at this point.

I really wish that FUN would return to day to day life, the end of fake hysteria.

It is what it is. Ireland/Irishness, is what it is. The dark old days are over.

It's like this all over now, people can't be fucked with all the tribalistic shite.

i cycled solo round northern ireland twenty years ago

north from belfast round the coast then follow the border down from derry

bampots everywhere, and no official campsites whatsoever

[Redforever86]

All the northern Irish I’ve met have been sound. But yeah don’t think I’d go there

not much tension these days.  but its a real place, not everywhere is.

Met a couple of birds from Newtonards years ago in Benidorm. They told me it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. 

Went over to see them on a weekend a few months later and found out they were lying bastards.

The north/west of Ireland around Donegal/Derry has terrific scenery. Rolling hills like middle earth.

Fuck going to Northern Ireland for a jolly. I would end up as one of 'The Disappeared" as the divisions between Proddies and Cafflicks, to me, are pure fantasy and fiction. They are both cut from the same cloth.

I went once for a football tour/play in a tournament as a young loon, maybe 14 years old. Knew it was bullshit then.

They should both just kill each other and be done with it. Eradicate all the huns first.
