[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7752319, member: 2119"] We had a rising here in Lincolnshire in the 1500’s. We objected to the fact Henry VIII destroyed our monasteries and robbed them. We sent a pilgrimage to London who were all executed in the Tower. So where does all this end. It ends when I as a Scottish Protestant say enough is enough. I am frankly uncomfortable about the continued celebrations by the Orange order. The lighting of bonfires, the marches, to me are a provocation. Rubbing noses in it. I take no pleasure whatsoever that a country was partitioned. even though relatives nearly died in Dublin in vain trying to defend British rule. I’m sick to death of that kind of thing TBH. Partisanship along historical religious lines. It’s toxic. Absolutely toxic. So “celebrating” partition rests uneasily with me. It really does. We are all Jock Thompson’s bairns. Partition isn’t good. [/QUOTE]
