    I think even the Daily Mail were reporting 6 or 7000. But who really knows with these things.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    Don't see it Shakey.
    In the event of a fresh indyref (now unlikely) Scots will have the age old conundrum that they've always had, antipathy toward Westminister vs the comfort blanket of the pooling and sharing of resources with 60 million other Brits.

    I know but antipathy towards Westminster always rises significantly when the Conservatives are in power, especially when it's Tory govts of the more right wing persuasion. Just before the last referendum antipathy was limited with the assumption that Labour would be in power.
    If #perfectstorm of #Brexit #Trident and #Tories can't get us over the finishing line, nothing will.

    Went to a pre season fotball friendly Friday night. Even that managed to attract 6,600. :)

    Crowd was verified as well. ;)

    Sure. I get what you're saying. But this was just a wee rally in Glasgow organised on Twitter and Facebook. And while the Sunday Herald gave good coverage. It wasn't actually organised in order to demand anything.

    A decent turnout I would've said. ;)
