First pro-independence march held in Glasgow after Covid-19 restrictions ease
PRO-INDEPENDENCE marchers are taking to the streets of Glasgow today in their first demonstration since Covid restrictions lifted earlier this week.
The Scottish Independence Movement have organised the march, which has now left from Kelvingrove Park and will walk through the city until it reaches Glasgow Green.
Organisers say it is still too early to host a rally and most of those marching are expected to disperse.
In a post on social media, organisers said pro-independence activists have waited "a long time" to be able to march again. Before Covid, regular rallies and demonstrations were held to gather support for the cause.
Police Scotland confirmed they will be in attendance and policing the march appropriately.
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!
