The #ParadesCommission's decision on Friday to allow the #OrangeOrder to march on the Garvaghy Road in #Drumcree has bounced all weekend between High Court judges. It's still bouncing. https://www.itv.com/news/utv/2026-09-26/drumcree-parade-decision-being-challenged-at-high-court
Orangemen try to whitewash the order as a community tradition. In reality, it has always been an #antiCatholic #hateGroup dedicated to #Protestant supremacy. It was a key part of the 1921–72 unionist regime in #Stormont.
