Tens of thousands of people are expected to flock to Glasgow streets tomorrow for the Orange Order annual Boyne parade.
We asked what is the point of the Orange Order and what are the organisation's aims objectives in the 21st century. “It's just something that's always been done. We like to be visible. We don't see any reason why we shouldn't be visible because people don't like us. Mr Menzies said: “There's other carnivals in the world, Notting Hill, St Patrick's parade in New York, Mardi Gras in New Orleans. They go out and celebrate and there's not the furore that follows the Orange Order’s right to celebrate our heritage, our culture, our traditions.”
He said the Order has met with the Scottish Government to explain “the hatred towards our community, the Orange and the Protestant community”.On Saturday the Orange order members will march with bands accompanying them.Contentious songs include the 'famine song', 'The Billy Boys' and 'No Pope of Rome'.
“The tag anti-Catholic probably comes from, unfortunately, things that happen on the sidelines and people making comments, singing songs”
