Fair enough. I just hope everybody can keep focussed. There's nothing more likely to damage the movement than a crowd of upstarts descending en masse to an EXTREMELY liberal city and shaking their fists at the residents (including the police, who are pretty good in Edinburgh) like some sort of "sticking it to the man" thing. All it will do is piss folk off and make the protesters look stupid.
People do get very wound up at these things and often end up shooting themselves in the foot. The political pressure they will be able to exert will be directly proportional to how organised they are and inversely proportional to how much inconvenience they cause ordinarty people.
