ALL Under One Banner (AUOB) is organising a march through Dumfries to demand the dissolution of the Union.
The group is looking to gather support across the Yes movement for the march on Saturday June 11.
The procession will kick-off from High Street at 12.30 pm and make its way through Burns/Castle street, Buccleuch Street, Whitesands, Dockhead, ending in Dock Park.

Naming the march “Dissolve the Union”, AUOB wrote on Facebook: “For a considerable period of time Scotland has voted for political parties and policies that have not been represented in any way by Westminster Governments. The latest example of this is the awful Tory government led by Boris Johnson.
“People in Scotland should be governed by a Government of their choice, and not one imposed on them. Only by dissolving the Union and realising independence will we be able to ensure we always get the Government that we vote for. It is our right to decide.”

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!
