Don't let the suits & bowler hats fool you. The #OrangeOrder is a hate group, just as much as any thugs in black balaclavas.
The #Drumcree dispute is not about the hate group's freedom to march. The Orange Order has uncontested routes between #Portadown & #Drumcree.
This is about the hate group's demand to march on the Garvaghy Road, past the homes of the people they hate, and who they terrorised in the 1990s.
It is not culture & tradition.This is intimidation by a #HateGroup.

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.
