No. My point is and remains that they are a bunch of bigots.
Today's Independent (bolded for emphasis).
Quote:
Campaigners against Scottish independence have moved to distance themselves from a planned pro-Unionist Orange Order march through the streets of Edinburgh just days before the crucial referendum vote.
The staunchly protestant Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland is hoping to rally 15,000 supporters in the show of strength on the Saturday ahead of September’s vote.
The spectacle would raise unwanted associations with sectarianism for the No campaign, potentially alienating Catholic voters.

Now why would a National newspaper claim that the No campaign is distancing itself from the Orange Order for fear of being associated with sectarianism if it wasn't a bigoted organisation? What are their grounds for making such a claim?
No one wants to be associated with them and their prehistoric, narrow minded bigotry.

It is understood that the loyal order had offered to work with the cross-party Better Together – the organisation fronted by former Chancellor Alistair Darling – but that the overture was rejected.Better Together said: “This organisation isn’t part of our campaign and never will be. The best way for people who believe that we are stronger and better together as part of the UK to get involved is by speaking to undecided voters, not marching in the streets.”
