Scottish Independence March today in Glasgow Thousands join Glasgow march for Scottish independence Thousands of people have marched in Glasgow in the largest show of support for Scottish independence since Nicola Sturgeon said she would introduce legislation to hold a second referendum on the issue. The All Under One Banner event, led by a single flag-bearer and a pipe band, left Kelvingrove Park at 1.30pm and was following a route west to east through the city centre to a rally at Glasgow Green. Marchers were still streaming out of the park at 2pm, many carrying Scottish and EU flags. There was a carnival atmosphere as families and dog-walkers joined drummers and bagpipers, and there were chants of “independence now”. Police Scotland said it was difficult to estimate numbers accurately because people had joined the march at different points along the route, but by 5pm they believed there were between 30,000 and 35,000 people gathered at the rally on Glasgow Green. Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, said at the end of April that a second independence referendum should be held by May 2021 if Brexit went ahead, but stopped short of repeating previous calls for the UK government to give her the power to call one. All Under One Banner, which describes itself as “open to everyone who desires an independent Scotland”, has marches planned across Scotland throughout the summer, culminating in an event in Edinburgh on 5 October. Writing in the National on Friday, organisers alerted attendees to the possible presence of counter-demonstrations along the route. “Marchers can either ignore the counter-demonstrators or smile and wave … our movement doesn’t need any negative publicity,” they said. Traffic Scotland advised drivers to plan ahead as access to the M8 motorway would be shut off through the city centre. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/04/glasgow-march-scottish-independence-under-one-banner Watch https://video.flos5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/10000000_431703687593891_4145240436799176704_n.mp4?_nc_cat=101&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6InN2ZV9zZCJ9&_nc_eui2=AeEygfhZ6wqADJHumgEO57udn1FwaETBDUrODm_wXz0nI8yXMqulo3YLVJXbTAACJvthyyKl72k6O-gKXZYW71-RudjaoIm4sT3W9Q4C-ptso7ZOXOeIs8ClBgss8IO8I0Q&_nc_ht=video.flos5-1.fna&oh=dd5c8deada62ff6c15b3da67e87bcad6&oe=5CCE0936 Lalasticlala 1 Like

englishmart: Scotland is not an independent country, it is still under the territory of Great Britain. I hope Nigerians can see a part of Great Britain marching for their right to be independent? If Biafrans March for the same right, you Nigerians will start shouting 'treason!', 'secessionists!', 'Python dance!' If the very Britain that created Nigeria can allow their territory to have referendum, then no Nigerian should be talking about "one Nigeria" 3 Likes 1 Share |

Osagyefo98:Thousands of foolish folks who are tired of living a better life in a peaceful country. They are now begging for war and chaos. Wondering why some people are so retarded. They don't know what peace means. They don't know what it is to leave your own country and live as a refugee in a foreign land where you are NOT valued.
