Head the ball Parade and donations

Post image

Parked the car and walked to our regular Chinese takeaway last night. While waiting for my order 2 of the parade lads came in with a bucket for donations, set it on the counter. Demanded that the lady should make a donation. She said no- due to the amount of customers she had to turn away yesterday, she lost income as the road was closed for the parade. They became threatening and told her she needs to donate to local people or there “will be consequences”

Is it not enough that the roads are closed to local business but workers and owners are also being threatened like this? I don’t care if people want to march but im sick of this shite

I’d expect that from a majority PUL town but not Newry, surprised nobody in the Chinese told them to fuck off

A few customers did say something to defend the lady but they were told not to intervene as they themselves would also face these same “consequences”. Laughable really, if it wasn’t so depressing!

Would love to see the “consequences” issued by those orange tramps nowadays, they’re not what they once were and are still outnumbered 20-1
