The Marching Season

What a sorry sight to see riots in Belfast again. Let us not forget that at the root is the utterly preposterous ‘tradition’ of triumphalist Protestant marches passing through Catholic areas. This whole concept of celebrating a victory of centuries past by humiliating the losers, is the most distasteful and insulting aspect of the flawed political philosophy called Unionism. Why Cameron talks to these people goodness knows, unless it is to tell them that time is up, this has to stop. This strutting arrogance and show off culture flies in the face of every principle held dear by the rest of the U.K.

The price for maintaining the Union should be a stop to this spectacle once and for all.
