or
get a hot air balloon.
an orange hot air balloon and a sound system [4K @least] and float over the British Army barricade playing the sash, you may find your loyal pals will sell the youngones/bairns/weewans the drugs.
[small parties all over continental Europe have found that a hot air balloon really does boost the profile.- I remember the last march in my local Barcelona, the ICV (Greens) and the ERC (Republicans) had a "can we get our balloon higher competetion" whilst we at the back (RTS @ heads) drowned out their effing shite "Imagine" by John Lennon.
=learn from the continentals.
[this shall be a series].
finally in place of the picture of american indians wearing sashes or orange women doing the can can which i shall compress, I thought to leave you a pciture from earlier this year, taken in northern ireland by JD i presume.
