Quotes

About 50 protesters swarmed around Mr Farage as he twice tried unsuccessfully to flee the Royal Mile in taxis. Mr O’Hare added: "Mr Farage and his type of politics are constantly designed to shut down the most vulnerable people in society. What Mr Farage saw yesterday was people from all walks of life coming together to vocally oppose that."
"I don’t know what Help-to-Buy is trying to achieve," Ms Bell said. "They shouldn’t be helping to increase household debt, or encourage risky lending."
Rhonda Reekie said, "The Green Party will be putting forward a positive message for Aberdeen Donside. We want to protect and improve the local environment. We see energy conservation and renewable energy projects, for example the wind turbine test centre in Aberdeen bay, as a route to new and sustainable jobs for the North-east. We want better public transport across the City, including improvements to the train service in and out of Aberdeen and additional stations. We will campaign for a fairer society - for example, by opposing the 'Bedroom Tax'."
"Over the next few weeks I intend to speak to as many residents of Aberdeen Donside as possible, and ask them to place their trust in me to stand up for them and be a strong local voice at Holyrood."
