Strange one this. Of all the problems facing the Orange Order, the leadership of the Brethren have decided now’s the time to launch a purge- on sex offenders……
Under the ‘new policy,’ membership of the Order will be automatically terminated for members found to be on the Sex Offenders Register. However, when pushed about Order policy on individuals found guilty of other offences, Grand Secretary Drew Nelson was less forthcoming, saying: “Our discipline review will look at members with any kind of serious conviction.” So that’s clear then (plus ca change??.)
Interestingly, the Scottish Orange Order may shortly find itself under pressure to take action against a group of suspected Orange Order members/ supporters who physically and verbally assaulted George Galloway MP at Glasgow airport after returning from an Orange Parade in London.
