Hope you are truly proud of your efforts. Not that it will the slightest bit of difference. I wasn’t there. I’m sorry to hear about your loved ones buts that’s nothing to do with today. As I said the Police were there and were there and if there was anything untoward I’m sure they would’ve acted. We can only wait and see if this causes a spike but there are not that many cases in Edinburgh just now. Who knows what difference this demonstration will make.

A few utter roasters on this thread doing that very same thing. Thousands of folk made the very illegal decision today to gather in mass protest. I have made my feeling clear about the lock down measures and how I disagree with them. However and I need to say this clearly for the thick ****s in the back - until it judged to be safe gather in crowds like they did today then you have done nothing but endanger the very big sacrifices made. Hope it was worth it. Probably ruined a few good weeks work on lockdown, hope im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell the police, is it not their job to do that? The actions of Cummings, the lies told afterwards and the backing from certain parts of the UK government have actually made a mockery of the lockdown. The rule for him is now seen as the rules for everyone, especially down south. I won’t personally be breaking the rules for once, but I can see why people do it and especially for such a serious issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there is some people going because they want to elevate their social status and capture their attendance on camera. I still can't get my head around what Instagram influencers actually do. I saw some bizarre video of some white girl in the US with a drill to the head of a black man for a Instagram photo? I support social distanced protests if it involves sitting spaced out in a park, holding signs and showing unity. But not congregating close together and ignoring the pandemic rules. From photos it looked like the Holyrood one was respecting that, the Glasgow Green photos are shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s true where were these protest when Sheku Bayou died! oh aye that wasn’t trendy with celebrity supporters. The same folk at these protest will be celebrating St Patrick’s day and ignore St Andrews day. It’s all about what the cool kids are doing. I should know better than to reply, but here I am. There were protests, demonstrations and marches in 2015 when Sheku died. I know because I was there. I attended his funeral and the procession which marched through Kirkcaldy, stopping at the police station. I attended another march in Kirkcaldy in late 2015 as well as the launch of the Justice For Sheku Bayoh campaign in Glasgow. The expert level of suppression and misinformation put out in the immediate aftermath of his death helped stop any kind of traction it could ever gather at the time. I'd urge everyone to watch the BBC Disclosure episode on his death that's on the iPlayer and to also note the fact that his family and lawyers have all expressed their desire that anyone who wanted to protest today do so "virtually". Remember, just because you don't remember seeing something, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the footage I saw of someone pushing a bike into the horse was of the same horse, someone said earlier the the police woman caused the incident and injury herself, I can't see a trained mounted police officer riding a horse at that speed where there was dangers like traffic lights and road sign, it would go against all thier training, I'd say the horse, as you point out, was hurt and bolted. There was a horse hit in the face with a brick yesterday, these are trained animals but they can't be infallible in all circumstances.
