SCOTTISH independence supporters took to the streets of Ayr today for an All Under One Banner (AUOB) march and rally.
It is the third AUOB demonstration this year, following Glasgow and Stirling.
Organisers estimated that as many as 2000 people attended.
Susy Robertson, the designated organiser, said before the march:“This will be the third in a series of six demonstrations taking place across Scotland this year, for the broad independence movement to march together and express ourselves loud and clear, that we are still here and support is strong, and that we shall exercise the right to be an independent nation.
“As always AUOB extends a warm welcome to everyone who desires an independent Scotland to march all under one banner, for independence now. For a prosperous, more equal nation for all Scottish citizens.”
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!
