It's amazing how much they annoyed the pro-life crowd, they absolutely hate how much they caught on.

I don't think that it's disrespectful to have a balanced reporting about the rally, do you? What insults or name calling are you referring to? Are you referring to the pro lifers calling women murderers?

Oldtree wrote: » I did not say that the rally should not be allowed, the unbalanced view I am concerned with is that the numbers attending the rally will be inflated by the organisers and that will give an unbalanced view. Again, I did not suggest the Gardai would lie.

splinter65 wrote: » I work in a public office (very busy). I see lots of things every day but no repeal jumpers. My niece bought one but she was disappointed with the quality for €50 (she’s a student) and it’s being worn by a giant teddy in her bedroom. I don’t know anyone who was annoyed by a repeal jumper apart from some pro repeal people who seemed to hate them. I’m pro life and they wouldn’t annoy me. I’m far more annoyed by pro Palestine stuff. How did people express this annoyance to you?

splinter65 wrote: » Oldtree you’ve posted a video being filmed by a socialist party where they’ve stood with an iPhone fixed at a random spot trying to record the amount of people passing on their way to the rally. Crowds are filing past, quite slowly and one of the film makers is trying to count in tens and getting out of breath with the effort. What do you see?

It doesn't matter how many people march today or during the week. It matters how many people tick a box in the summer. Don't assume it's in the bag because of snazzy jumpers and the media.
