I've seen worse in Southampton, but I'm pretty sure orangemen would still be the worst.

I'm pretty sure that is illegal like, freedom of assembly and association under Article 11 of the European convention of human rights, illegal.

Pretty sure you wouldn't. It's a direct threat intended to influence a person's vote. Definitely illegal.

An argument could be made if they'd made it worded more vaguely, but they essentially said, 'labour voters will see repercussions.'

Orange marches are banned in Dublin, since the infamous "Love Ulster" parade in 2006 which led to this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Dublin_riots

It turns out that we did not, in fact, love Ulster in the same way that they did, and furthermore the boys did not like it up 'em

This is what would happen if a proposed redrawing of constituencies happened, taking parliament from 650 MPs to 600. It won't happen though, since the Tories have a minority and many tory MPs wouldn't vote to lose their own seats anyway

The issue is they can't go through catholic communities, something the Orangemen very strongly feel they have the right to do.

Hoops posted:

Are UKIP done? I reckon they're probably done. They'll take huge, fatal losses at the next local elections and then we'll hear in three years that nobody bothered to renew their party registration or something.

They will lurk around the edges for a while and mop up fringe voters - they're unlikely to hit the heights of 2015 again unless something weird happens like all parties turning away from Brexit. A lot will depend on whether they can get Farage's level of messaging as well, which seems unlikely unless Big Nige himself makes a return.

I'm not sure if you're joking about harrogate being a sectarian hell because the odd time I've visited there it has put me on edge, there's something distinctly not right about that place.
