Welcome to the apathy and > alienation that all you protestors have created in the majority of Edinburgh > residents. You only have yourselves to blame, This majority of which you speak? That apathy and alienation already existed here. The same proportion of those who have left their homes to come here, will join in the march from the city. Given that a sizeable proportion of these people will be middle-class and not too close to the poverty line, we stand to do quite well out of this affair. If any problems arise, likely as not they will be as much the fault of heavy-handed policing than of undercover anarchists. Sure they'll be disruption to normal life. But you live here. Given the almost insufferable chaos that always occurs when the council decide to schedule all the roadworks and building repairs for the festival period, this will all be old hat for you. And if you refuse to even investigate the issues, then that is entirely your decision. Don't try and foist your apathy onto other people. It's not our fault that you don't care. ;-) Jon
