| Comment | Oh TIL.
I've actually spent some time doing some reading about the history of the Orange Order after I had to try to explain the marches to an American friend who was visiting. I never connected the lion on that bridge with it though (always just assumed it was Latin, oops). It's really interesting history, actually, & I sort of think if the orange brigade actually spent any time learning about it within its proper historical context, they might decide marching for it is a bit of a dick move. |
