A group of youngsters are to hold a protest – over fears of a ban on “hoodies” and baseball caps in a city shopping centre.
Members of the Scottish Socialist Youth (SSY) will meet outside the Eastgate shopping centre in Inverness on Saturday to protest at Tony Blair’s “hats off” policy, which is being backed by Northern Constabulary.

Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) leader Colin Fox described the measures as an attack on young people.
He said: “It is time that young people were treated with respect instead of being criminalised.
“The SSP and the SSY have no time for loutish, threatening or anti-social behaviour, but the real solutions to these problems lie in offering a real future to our young people – not exploiting them as workers, ripping them off as consumers, or scapegoating them “en masse” for society’s ills.”
