events co-ordinator 353 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Marches are no longer effective 1 million people marched in London against the Iraq war they were just ignored.I've been on every march from the one in Inverness to the ones in Edinburgh the protest in Glasgow which I helped to organise, all the London marches declaration day etc. They didn't work, pressure on Msp's/Mps at local level is much more effective they dont like speaking to people that know more about a subject than they do if you go to their surgery finnish off by giving them a question in writing that they are obliged to research to give you a reply. This will give you questions to ask they hate this as they have to research it at every turn. One person in area doing this is bad enough but if you get every dog lad in your area doing this he/she wont have time to claim their expenses Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbithunter 456 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 if i had a bit of notice, i would probably attend....... And theres a few lads from up this way that would go....... Good idea for everyone to bring their working dogs and let them shit all over downing street Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willum 89 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 i for one agree on a march but it has to be somewhere that is going to grab the attention of the media and potray us hunters in a positive light but i think that this march should be done as proffesionaly as possible because we have a chance of a re peal and the last thing we need is a peacefull protest turning into a volatile one should that happen i would dare say we could kiss good by the re peal and say hi to labour once again. yis willum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Missie 1 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'd be happy to march again but it does get a little disheartening when it seems to go unnoticed. Having said that, a little reminder that Labour's ridiculous law discriminates law abiding people may give a little push in the right direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackard 36 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 who said you have to march on foot , do as the wagon drivers did about fuel prices , march in your motor at 10mph on the motorways , block all the lanes and do it on all the motorways bring the country to a stand still. then they might listen they will have no choice.

TOPPER 1,809 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 londons the wrong place for a march its to busy and they ll just ignore it birminghams a better bet , and a few rolling road blocks but really you need wagons with banners on them to get the attention , but myself and some of the bristol boys are up for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
