Scots hold pro-independence rally in Glasgow

Hundreds of people have flocked into the streets of the Scottish port city of Glasgow in support of Scotland’s breakaway from the UK, calling for a second referendum on the issue.

Waving the Scottish flags in Saturday’s march, demonstrators carried anti-Westminster banners such as “End London Rule,” “The Vow Was A Lie,” and “Red Tories Out”.

The protesters also chanted slogans such as “What do we want? Independence! When do you want it? Now!”

An unnamed protester said, “We’ve come on the march today to fight for freedom of our country, for the future of my children and all the children in the country. For I do believe it is better for us to be out from Westminster rule.”

The protest rally remained peaceful despite some heckling by pro-union supporters who were holding a Union Jack.
