Today’s demo was a great success. We had a nice big snowball fight with parliament!
Nick Clegg didn’t turn up. Contacts through NUS Scotland suggested that he had pulled out. It is all very confusing.
Later in the day 25 protesters managed to force their way into New College, Edinburgh. Where MP Michael Moore, LibDem Cabinet Minister for Scotland was hosting the launch of the Scots bill, we stayed in the courtyard of the building for the duration of the meeting. Blocking the main doors. Their were numerous MPs and MSPs present. The meeting left through a rear entrance, whilst the protesters were encircled and outnumbered by police. This was the meeting, moved from Dynamic Earth, that we had been informed Nick Clegg would attend.
