NOW we have had a few days to calm down after the event, the whole Yes movement should say a huge thanks to Yes Kintyre and all those who worked to make Saturday’s march and rally in Campbeltown such a success.
The event attracted a crowd nearly half the population of Campbeltown, and the current difficulties within All Under One Banner were set aside as Yessers from all over Scotland turned the town into a giant walking poster to prove that, despite what the Unionists say, there is an appetite for a second referendum - and as soon as possible, please..
Here’s just a few comments from those who attended:
“Well done everybody, you have done Scotland proud.”
“What an absolutely fantastic event this was. Our Independence movement reaches every corner of our Country. So glad we did this March in beautiful Campbeltown,”
“We had a brilliant day. Well worth the 320 miles drive Down and back to Airdrie....See you all at our next Indy Rally Everyone....”
“It was a great day in a stunning location. Thank you Campbeltown for your hospitality. Welcoming us off the ferry on Friday night was a lovely touch.”
“Heard that there wasn’t a bed to be had there which is a real boost for the Wee Toon.”
“Proud to be part of the indy family. Made lots of new friends, met up with some local pals and had a thoroughly brilliant day.”
“Fantastic afternoon on the march and flag waving supporters lining the streets.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
