I’ve just jumped on the bandwagon tbh But it’s been levelled at Detournment on a number of occasions, none of which he/she has denied, I don’t believe, so that was good enough for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguing with strangers about your own identity is the height of absurdity. Not something i'm going to get involved in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Just found out they’re marching in Dundee soon, as a 100 percent died in the wool independence supporter I really cannot be arsed with this. Marches just get on people’s nerves. Also a lot of yer da types dressed in dodgy outfits taking part in these things. Find it all pretty cringey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll not go on the March but I'll leave Mennies to go and see the end of it at Magdalen Green. If Dumfries can get 10K I reckon they will get about half a million in Dundee. Should be some sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people don't go out and march the public will just continue to read shite and watch shite on the telly saying there is no appetite for a referendum and believe it. Peacful protests have always been a good way to influence politics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the voting itself does that, look at the SNP support, 45 percent of people don’t just stop wanting something.No idea how what marches are supposed to acheive, if 10,000 No supporters turned up somewhere would it affect you in any way or would you not just think that they were a nuisance? Especially if they’d taken over your town? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree with this bit. You see some absolute goons dressed head to toe in god knows what. However, events like these are completely necessary in building the momentum of a political movement/campaign. To not realise that is quite naive. Just ignore the fringe elements and hang around with the sound guys/gals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fires up the hardcore which is necessary for future campaigns. Does nothing to convert or enthuse anyone who's not marching though, and is possibly counter productive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it helps folk cement their beliefs and encourages them to participate in Yes activities ie. leafleting, running stalls and getting informed on the arguments for Indy. There is a few bumpers but they are well in the minority. I went to the Glasgow one, had a great day stopping in a few pubs along the route for a quick pint, then settled down away from the main stage to have a wee munch and a few wines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonwell Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Is advertising advantageous to the seller of a product, yes. Same rules apply. This really is simple stuff, not sure how anyone can argue the point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I know of two Yes groups who have started up again in a small part of Perthshire off the back of these marches. They are for enthusing and reinvigorating your core support. f**k SnG, Tommy Sheridan and people dressed like fucking Outlander extras though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Dundee has them fairly often. There are quite regularly folk doing various in the city centre about independence, from speakers to stalls to leafleting. I'd say probably about 2 Saturdays each month I see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If these marches encourage ten gammons to huddle together waving union flags and belting out Rule Britannia on a street corner, they have to be a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 I've found marches a love them or hate type thing. Personally I love them, they boost moral and they're actually quite fun. You meet loads of like minded people and it's great just talking about independence and beyond. They generate publicity outwith Scotland and it lets Unionists know we've not gone anywhere. I actually thought the Unionists seemed a bit rattled after the Glasgow march. People march the world over and Scotland is no different. If you don't like them then don't go, it's as simple as that. Won't make you any less of a passionate yesser if you don't like tat sort of thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
