The Orangefest on the Shankill
Federal Unionism-Early Sinn Fein has read in the press that the purpose of the Orangefest on the Shankill is to make the 12th of July parades more inclusive. What does inclusive mean? Inclusive of what? Does it mean in the future Catholics will be out on the Twelfth waving Union Jacks and singing—God Save the Queen? Or could it mean the Orangemen will be out waving Tricolours and singing Amhran na bhFiain. Any one with half a brain knows that neither scenario will ever happen so what does Inclusive mean?
Federal Unionism-Early Sinn sees clearly that the sectarian problem typified by the Twelfth demonstrations springs from the nature of the U.K. constitution. This constitution is unwritten undemocratic and imposed and the Orange marches are part of the imposition of this constitution on those who don’t want it. That is how this unwritten constitution works. Hence the inherent violence connected with Orange parades. The Orangefest fools no one. Those who object to the U.K. constitution are having it rammed down their throats by the Orange Order.
The only way the Orange Parades can be made genuinely inclusive and peaceful and acceptable to all is by reforming the U.K. constitution in relation to Ireland as envisaged in the Blog: -

Imagine that! I read how someone lamented over the injection of sectarianism into the 12th celebrations. What a shame. How dense can they be? In the states, of course, their red-neck cousins are equally bright and equally lacking in insight.
BTW Happy Birthday on the 12th!
