Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Fair play to you for concentrating on the message of the campaign and not diluting that message with your own political party's logo
If Im not a member of Sinn Fein am I allowed to come along to the protest at the Statoil station?
If there are more people at the protest not from Sinn Fein than there are people from Sinn Fein then can it still be called a Sinn Fein protest?
Or would it be just simpler and more acturate to call it a protest against the illegal jailing of the Rossport 5 by Shell?
I can see no logo's point. The protest in question was all SF people although Jerry Cowley was there. Think it was done at short notice to facilitate press deadline. In which case it was even more commendable that SF used non-party posters.
I have to say as non party person that there probably was some initial jostling for position but that there is considerable trust and co-operation now and people are not so precious about promoting their own party. All good! and hopefully set a standard for future.
Specifically Ogra Shinn Fein. They moved very quickly to an effective and traditional tactic and they're showing that they want to work with other activists and actually do something.
