Comment by Joanna Bornat on November 2, 2018 at 7:26: Interesting that the Argyle Hall was being used to host a meeting with a far-right speaker. George Makgill (thanks Wikipedia) had a murky history of anti-socialism which included a private intelligence unit supported by business.

Comment by Hugh on November 2, 2018 at 8:37: I think like most halls of its kind, it was used by a whole range of the groups. What's raised an eyebrow for me is that the advert appeared on the Daily Herald.

Comment by Richard Woods on November 2, 2018 at 9:37: I would like to think the Herald would not have denied space for the ad on the grounds of free speech - and getting the opposition there!
