Head the ball Parade and donations
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

Idk why they feel so entitled to have parades at night? Like where do they get off with the self importance, kids are going to bed, people are trying to get home from work but sure let’s have Billy big balls run up and down the street smashing his drums and blowing his horns.
What is the ACTUAL purpose of them?
