"Incredible SSP public meeting in Ayr. Big town hall packed tight. I made it 215-220 after 3 headcounts. All ages. Solidly working class.
Tremendous level of discussion from audience: currency, oil, banks, Trident, childcare, benefits system, war, ...and above all socialism hotly debated after tremendous speeches by Liz Swan, Colin Fox, Jim Sillars.
What would Johann Lamont make of it since Scottish working class are not genetically programmed for political decisions?!?
As one woman said "we've heard great arguments for Indy tonight that we never hear in the media." Which is why large numbers responded to my appeal to join the SSP and shape our futures.
The SSP is on the march!"

Great meeting! Certainly the best I've attended in a while and a great morale booster for both the SSP and The Yes Campaign to boot (although, the way things are going, maybe we should lend it to Bitter Together.) Hasta la victoria siempre!
