00:00Who wants to speak? Who wants to speak first? I can't think of what I'm going to say. Go ahead.

00:08Thank you. Whoa, it's loud, isn't it? This is an upgrade.

00:12You just hate me having these.

00:16Because the voice is power, isn't it? It's power.

00:19We've heard some powerful voices today.

00:22I think today has been a beautiful day that shows that we will not back down.

00:27We will not back down in the face of hatred.

00:31Hatred and obscenities.

00:34These people are obscene.

00:36They live in their own worlds, their own private worlds detached from reality.

00:41They call us delusional, but it is they that are delusional.

00:46It is they that are delusional if they think that we won't fight back and resist.

00:51Yes, we will resist.

00:52So we will resist, and I want the entire Inverness and beyond to know that we will resist.

01:00So, join me in some more chanting.
