Comment on DUP Support for Islam4UK parade through Wootton Bassett and Republican parade through Shankill?

Some would have us believe the Orange Order are only walking to christian church services to consult some invisible guy about deliverance. I believe parades in interface areas are about reinforcing supremacy under the cloak of shared space. They are not about any notion of promoting Orange Fest that most people could be comfortable with. These particular parades are about reinforcing containment by ensuring the boundaries demarcating areas like Ardoyne are reinforced and the cultural divide between the communities is even greater. This is the opposite of promoting a shared future and to suggest the organisers of such parades are victims of cultural apartheid is ludicrous.
