The Orange Order is a religious hate group who burn effigies of Catholic and Irish "enemies" on two story high bonfires every year. This article glosses over who they really are entirely.

Most of the UK also burns effigies of a person (a Catholic domestic terrorist in this case) on bon fires every year.
I'm talking about currently living people not some historical figure who tried to blow up government buildings. Political rivals. Irish flags burning, hell even EU flags and Palestinian flags. They're professional hate trolls. It's fairly sad to see but let's call a spade a spade here.
The majority of the nice people of the UK don't follow or even understand them.
I haven't even mentioned their parades.
Ireland has similar groups but they're tiny and mostly ignored.
