Draw Breath

Well you learn something new every day! I hadn't really thought about it, but didn't realise that there was a controversy over why Ian Paisley left the Orange Order. I think I just presumed that he regarded the order as too soft, or too not-led-by-Paisley, for his tastes.

It seems, however, that this story is a source of some controversy. Cutting through the jibes, there's a fascinating conversation in a comments thread over on Slugger between Michael Shilliday and others as to the roots of the split.

By the way, I'd never actually thought of Orange Arches as being owned, which was a little naive of me. Interesting stuff.
