| Comment | Well, the word 'similar' is very busy there - the Orange Order is perhaps partially defined by the proscription law, in that they've sloughed off the parts that would cause them to be proscribed and kept them at arms length
(similar to how the BNP repeatedly distanced themselves from parts of themselves in order to maintain recognition as a political party)
So the Orange Volunteers - the part of the OO that has committed acts of violence and terrorism - is a proscribed organisation, and it's a matter for the reader as to whether there is actually any meaningful separation between the groups other than that created retrospectively in order for the OO to avoid proscription |
