Condemning the Parades Commission decision to ban the Orange evening parade past Ardoyne, TUV Leader Jim Allister said:-
“This is a wholly provocative and perverse decision from a partisan and anti unionist Parades Commission, which urged the Orange to talk to residents and then when they did kicked them in the teeth. This is a Commission determined to humiliate Orangeism, reward republican violence and expunge unionist culture. They draw strength from the current political set up which itself is constructed on the rewarding of terrorism. Such suppression of unionist and loyalist culture is the natural compliment to IRA/Sinn Fein rule sustained at Stormont by some who will protest this decision.”
