West Lothian Super Activist Mark McGarry and Central Scotland Organiser Mike Coyle took to the streets today in a second day of high visibility leafleting in the Lothian’s. The team put out 250+ leaflets in an hour.

Mike told the news team ” We leafleted the small town of Whitburn which has shown great support in the past. We gave a keen young chap an info pack plus one elderly lady told us she was so sick and tired with politics and doesn’t vote anymore but listened as we explained what we stood for before taking a leaflet and one for her neighbour”

The team then retired for one of Mikes dubious bacon sandwiches (which will in effect incapacitate them for a few days)

On a special note, Mike adds ” Again Mark must be commended. As mentioned before this young lad cares full time for his mother but attends every meeting and event not just in the Lothians but on occasion in Glasgow. Both myself and Lothian’s Organiser Davie Orr wish to congratulate Mark on his successfull Gold membership application that was processed today following the lift on the membership ban!”

The Lothian team is going from strength to strength with the next meeting planned for this coming Thursday.

For further details or to join the team, please contact David Orr or Mike Coyle on the Sub Regional contacts page.

Lothians sub-regional organiser David Orr was more than happy with his last meeting which was called to discuss future activities, including starting this Thursday to leaflet Livingston in the run up to the election.

One member along with his partner traveled from Fife to attend the meeting, also in attendance were two people waiting to join as soon as the ban is lifted.

Mr Orr told the news team “I would like to mention Mark McGarry, he is 19 years old and went out by himself last week posted 60 ‘Voice of Freedoms’ and over a 100 leaflets. Mark has also arranged for a local pakistani shopkeeper to sell our ‘Voice of Freedom’, amazing!! Mark cares for his mum full-time, he is a shy chap and refuses any recognition but is a great activist, I look forward to hearing what he has been up to at the next meeting”.
