Squinter's comment on contentious Orange Parades
"A court case would be over in five minutes"
It doesn’t require any great insight or profound wisdom to work out who’s
right and who’s wrong in Ardoyne, or indeed on the Springfield Road this
Saturday.
Endless guff is talked about culture and the right to assembly, but if this
thing got into a court of law it’d be over in five minutes.
– Your name and title please.
– Worshipful Brother Simpson Gibson, Grand Pooh-Bah of the Pride of the
Boyne Protestant Boys.
– Tell me, Brother Gibson, when’s the last time you were at Ardoyne shops?
– Last year, m’lud.
– For a pan loaf, perhaps, a quarter of cooked ham or a packet of biscuits?
– No, m’lud, for a parade.
– And what did the local people think of your parade?
– I don’t know, I never asked them.
– And why is that?
– Because they’re all Sinn Féin/IRA.
– How do you know that?
– The local UDA commander, m’lud.
