Broath Boy Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Starts at 1 pm, at Declaration Statue, (next to Red Lion caravan park). Then a march through town to Arbroath Abbey. Food parcels collected at statue for homeless are welcomed. Over 330 confirmed coming. Look up (Yes Arbroath 45% Gathering) on Facebook. Sorry can't post a link. Come stand and march with the 45% and be proud of your fellow Scots and Country till we achieve Independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasoupblu Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Sorry to have an opinion that is different from yours. This board is for tartan army fans, you may not like it but we do have our own minds.I just don't get the post referendum actions of the yes camp. Its total denial and deluded. How many times did Salmond mention 'the settled will of the people during the campaign' I guess he meant the settled will that agrees with independence now.

You're one of these lunatic Unionists who thinks that the no vote somehow means an absolute end to any thoughts of self-determination.....that some how 1.6 million people are going to crawl back under their stone, not say a word, and we'll all get on with happily being governed from Westminster forever and ever. Ehhhhhh. Wrong. Edited September 26, 2014 by Rossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobite Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) So we should just chuck it and walk away ??? Back in the old days it was if the SNP got a majority of Mps then we would be independent. Never happened of course so the tide went out again and in again.So to summarise we don't do walking away.

Dave78 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Bruce, spiders etc, it will come, we're too strong now. The best way i've heard it described is to liken the independence movement to a tide. The tide flows in and out (after the No vote last week it flowed out), but soon it will flow back and reach further up the beach. We'll be battering down the storm wall soon enough.

Hertsscot Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I don't think anyone is deluded or in denial. Peasoupblu surely you wouldn't deny that people who have found themselves in a minority have a right to peacefully express their opinions and campaign for change, seems to me that's a very healthy thing in a democratic country.

King Of Paisley Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Ignore Peasoupblu, just another barking mad Cameronite. Great to see my home town continuing to fight the good fight. Difficult to tell if Paisley voting Yes will mark a huge swing towards the SNP next May given that Dougie Alexander was an ardent Better Together spokesman.

Jacobite Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just wish i could say it was me that came up with that cracking analogy! First time I remember hearing it was after the 1979 election. It was from our candidate in the Craigton area of Glasgow, Prof Robert Silver who described nationalism as a tide that went in and out each time getting higher up the beach.

How many times did Salmond mention 'the settled will of the people during the campaign' I guess he meant the settled will that agrees with independence now. Correct, it's a board for Scotland fans whatever their opinion - and it's your opinion that all the post-referendum actions of the Yes camp are deluded and being conducted by people in denial. If you say so. After all, you're entitled to your poinion as much as anyone. It's my opinion, however, that this is the best time to carry out such actions (stalls, rallies etc) as there are a noticible number of people who admit they made a mistake in voting No. Those of us with a positive vision of Scotland's future don't want them to wallow in their turmoil, so we'll hold these events, talk through their decisions and regrets with them and welcome them onside. Last night my a No voting mate said he'd fallen for the uncertainty card hook, line and sinker and he now 'bitterly regretted' his decision. Other Nos have said to me they'd be voting Yes next time (and there will be a next time) or that they now at least had much to think about and reflect upon. If all those fish are swimming in the sea, we'll be out trying to land them. We only need to catch just over 200,000 and we'll be on the way and it will be the Naws' turn to feal the fear. You can play King Canute all you like but common sense should help you see the reason for such events, assuming you have any. Good luck to all the people that will be helping to keep this momentum going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
