Letters: Anger at the Orange parades
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Frustrated British citizens have, once again, been appalled by the escalating violence caused by the Northern Ireland marching season. The Prime Minister must tell the Protestant MPs that to be a citizen of the United Kingdom confers rights and obligations. One of these obligations is that we do not tolerate the intimidation of minority groups within our society.
We must insist that the Orange Order stops its annual marching. If they refuse, then, when we have this new referendum for the single currency, we should add another question: Do you want Northern Ireland to be a part of the United Kingdom? If the answer is "no", then we should hand over the government of Northern Ireland to the United Nations and the EU, as clearly a large section of their society do not want to live under our British law.
