Anti-ACTA protest Glasgow, Sat 11th Feb

Postby Finlay_A » Thu Feb 02, 2012 4:26 am

There are protests planned across Europe for Saturday the 11th of February, more info here.

Hope to see plenty Pirates at the Glasgow protest. Look for a guy with a PPUK t-shirt and banner :)

We'll be about tomorrow, or rather today (Saturday), with a stall on Buchanan Street til about 2 o'clock and then will retire to the Starbucks on Nelson Mandela Place after. If you're about feel free to pop by. Otherwise I've PM'ed you my number we could arrange something for Sunday, or during the week.

I think the protest went really well, with many well informed attendees jumping up to address the crowd. Plus lots of people, who are not Pirates, from all walks of life turned up to protest this issue. I do hope that at least some will join us and help strengthen The Party.
