Glasgow Parade Trouble.
The religious bigots have been out in Glasgow. The great majority of people in Scotland don't want this sort of sectarianism on display. I have seen it in Belfast, and I cannot understand why marches like this are tolerated here.
This picture is of an Orange march in East Belfast a couple of years ago. The band immediately in front of our car is from Glasgow, over especially to march on the twelfth of July. We were unfortunate enough to get caught up in this particular one, and just had to crawl along behind them at walking pace for miles.
Not long after this the road was blocked, mainly by children and teenagers, backed up by a few hard men. I never was able to grasp the mentality of that, considering that in this area the only people they were stopping moving around were members of their own community.

Sarkasmo, it certainly is. Why so surprised? Would YOU go anywhere without Shaun? No, of course you wouldn't :)
