Which all leaves me wondering, can it happen here too?

As we've posted over at Hobbits, we're puzzled by it, as well. You're not alone - and it's certainly not just something that people accept! The only commentary we've had about it is that it's "such a shame" and that they're "racist" (umm ... Scots, Irish? Not particularly very much difference there, coming from outside, but OK). You're right to wonder about this, and the police sure as HECK think it's something - I've never seen so many police in all my life, as the ones lining both sides of the march we ran into!

Hey Jennifer,
I found your blog today by accident and started reading through it, it is lovely ;) And helpful also.
I am moving to Glasgow in the middle of January '10 with my boyfriend and have been rummaging about for as much information as I can possibly manage to find. We are moving for kind of the same reasons you have mentioned: adding some adventure to life, experiencing a different culture, for its aura, etc. Oh, and uni, he for a master's and I am running along the same lines.
I have found common information about neighborhoods, universities, flats and such, but these are all from tourist books and sites.
I know it is kind of crazy, but would you be interested in speaking over email? I have some questions about flats and the general status of Glasgow now. If you are into it, that would be so wonderful.
Oh, and my email is

What an ignorant individual you are as is your boyfriend!
You are coming from the States and condemning an organisation from an ignoramus
KKK and Orange Order are complete opposites.
Orange Orders are for all colours and even exist in African nations.
It is highly naive of you to surmise ,and credulous to label an organisation that wss initially established not out of hatred but necessity. To protect family lives against murderous Christian haters
Orangei is an integral part of British culture and is here to stay and if you inquire more of this Christian organisation ,in lieu of adopting biased assumpitions,you may well enjoy it.
It is a celebration of freedom fought for in history which has permitted ranting narrowing minded blogs to exist. These Christians gave freedom to the enlighrenment and will exist when ypu are no more.
