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

Bus loads of the cunts dredged in from Banbridge, Rathfriland and any other black hole. Aye "local". Fucking scumbags must be getting anxious now, more and more desperate ever year with their attention seeking scare tactics.

I saw one band from Craigavon.  They certainly like to go around and parade all over the North. I can understand they enjoy it. But it also makes it look more popular than it is in the local area. It was very well policed though and behaviour was very good, from what I saw.
