AFTER reading and hearing the many warnings of doom being published from the council authorities in Ayr over the last week, that AUOB organisers could be reported to the fiscal fur no having insurance fur us awe gathering and enjoying ooorsells in a public grass park, I personally think they should be reported.
Tell the fiscal and all its merry men how well the event was organised, how much fun it was in Ayr on Saturday, and about how much extra trade it brought to Ayr cafes, pubs and restaurants that day.
We travelled over from Berwickshire in the Borders to Ayr by car, where we had fun and met people from all over the UK and beyond, spending money and time in Ayr on a lovely sunny day! No problems with parking, toilets, recycling bins or finding out what was going on or where we need to be!
I think these facts should be reported to the fiscal and any authoritative departments that the AUOB marches are going to in the future, and also how good and helpful Police Scotland are with their citizens.

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!
