A FURIOUS Unionist has been filmed calling independence supporters “f***ing traitors” at All Under One Banner’s Glasgow march.
In a foul-mouthed tirade (filmed by YouTuber Burglar's Dug), the woman also appeared to call the peaceful demonstrators “scum” and “b******s”.
Around 100,000 people are believed to have joined the march on Saturday, which led pro-independence supports from the West End to Glasgow Green.
Yessers marched through George Square, where a small band of Unionist had gathered to wave Union Jacks.
It was there that the woman launched her verbal attack, seemingly becoming incensed when she spotted a Rangers scarf being worn by an independence supporter.

George Square was also the scene of aggression by Unionists in the aftermath of the independence referendum in 2014. Police intervened after Unionists charged at Yes supporters.
Following Saturday’s event, All Under One Banner praised Police Scotland for their “excellent” work.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
