'If you want the marches to be more vibrant and visual, then bring your banners, flags, signs and placards, wear vibrant colours and make it so' // Letters ✍️
. First, as you were at the COP26 march last year then surely you would remember that All Under One Banner was not the organiser for that demonstration. We organised an Indybloc for it. As such, the hill where we assembled was where we were asked to gather, by the COP26 Coalition. Therefore your blaming of AUOB for something that wasn’t our responsibility is categorically wrong.
Second, and in relation to your criticism of chants against Toryism, please see my recent letter response to Frieda Burns in the National, ‘Toryism is, by its very nature, pro-poverty and anti-Scotland’ . Have a good read at this and if you are going to come back to debate this then please only do so with counter-arguments that logically challenge the points I have raised. Otherwise it’s just more regurgitation and we do not need that.
It is our collective responsibility to ensure they are the best they can be, and to this effect I agree it would be great to have lots more music, and a variety of it, spread throughout the processions. The call is always for people to bring their own instruments and drums, and with an open invitation to music/drumming groups to attend. The movement self-organises, just as Saor Alba Pipes and Drums, the pipe band that arose from the marches, has done.
