Ghastly snaps of the Orange Order at play

SECTARIAN throwbacks of the Orange Order have caused outrage after images emerged yesterday of members dressed up for halloween in a variety of offensive outfits.

A snap from fancy-dress competitions at one of the ultraconservative British unionist organisation’s lodges in Airdrie showed a man and woman dressed as Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun accompanied by children dressed in rags with a yellow star of David.

Another photo showed a man dressed as the Pope with a noose round his neck, while another competitor had blacked up, wearing an Afro wig, straw skirt and bones around their neck.
