ALL Under One Banner was delighted to welcome the tens of thousands who marched through Glasgow yesterday.

People of all ages and backgrounds demonstrated their desire for self-determination.

Yesterday’s #indyref2020 protest was organised in response to last month’s General Election result and the imposition on Scotland of a Brexit bourach.

The march prompted unprecedented levels of engagement online with the All Under One Banner Facebook pages.

The wind blew and the rain fell but they braved the depths of a Scottish winter to sing, dance, play, cheer, party and walk in support of Scottish independence.

Lots of people from across Scotland and beyond had never been on an independence march before.

The determination of everyone involved underlines the persistence of Scotland’s independence movement.

Those marching together yesterday have made it clear that Scotland will decide. Tens of thousands of Scots of all ages, beliefs and backgrounds marched to protest this exceptional democratic emergency.

The people of Scotland have made it clear that they will resist a Tory Government that they didn’t vote for.

It is a sign of the times that it is the moment to push for a referendum and we are not letting anything stop it.

The commitment and determination of the independence movement, especially those who march with All Under One Banner, always amazes and encourages me and our group.

Without everyone turning up there wouldn’t be a march – without the people, there is no event, so we have a huge amount of respect for everyone that was there yesterday.

This once again shows that if you set the Yes movement and Scottish people a challenge, they will rise to it.

We are delighted that so many people – new friends and well-kent faces – were able to take part yesterday.

We are really looking forward to everyone joining us at the other marches in 2020 in Arbroath, Glasgow (again), Peebles, Elgin, Kirkcaldy and Stirling.
