John Lambies Doos Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 These marches and many of the marchers make me want to vote No! You did vote No, you are a britnat. Move on, nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunrise Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Forgive me, but what's the point of this march? Would time not be better spent pushing the case for independence by talking to folk in the street rather than hanging around with folk who already support an independent Scotland? Marches aren’t really my thing but to be fair not every independence supporter - or any campaigner - can chap doors or approach strangers to chat. By all accounts the Glasgow march went well, and Inverness is decent territory for Yes. I wouldn’t disagree marches aren’t always effective tbf but I loved the corner of Yes twitter which did nothing but dismiss marchers... particularly RISE and Green types, both parties which their own issues (Ill say it, the Greens are too dependent on Harvie).

ICTChris Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 If 5,000 people were to attend this march, would that be the biggest protest march in Inverness history? I can't think of anything larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anything larger. It'll be 5,000, which the marchers will scream, due to a cover-up involving the BBC, the Masons and the Triads, was actually 150,000.

Doubt the triads would be involved. That seems highly unlikely. Is Castle heather Park the playing fields on Balloan Road? It's so long since I've been there that I can't remember if there's any other parks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there was more than 5000 there but it certainly fucking seemed like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the Greens that are dependent on Harvie. I'm not sure what I'd do without him. Every week at FMQs when he starts his question I see if I can get to the kitchen, boil the kettle, make the tea, and be back sitting down before he's finished asking it.

Butcher Cumberlands army was probably the last big protest march through Inverness, and that fat feckin german ancestor of the present queen set the highlands back years.

welshbairn Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 If they don't f**k about till they get past the Castle Tavern it shouldn't lose too many waverers, and I suppose it might encourage some youngsters who could be eligible to vote next time.

Ack there’s some guid - great in fact - fowk on the Scottish left. As long as they don’t just speak only amongst themselves and flock to Labour when Corbyn gets a bit of momentum, though frankly I don’t see any of these things not happening. Think it was the SNP’s Doug Daniel who quipped that the left-wing pro-Indy corner of Twitter only speaks to the parts of the country they like... and then complain they don’t get a hearing.
