'Things are going on in Scotland and we need to mark those moments by coming out and showing our interest in them'
JANE Phillips, member of Dundee and Angus for Independence and organiser for SNP Broughty Ferry, has received lots of interest and positive feedback for the event in the weeks prior to the date being confirmed and now it has – excitement is in the air.
While Philips hopes that the judgement of the Supreme Court will be favourable to the Yes movement, she said: “it is outrageous that we are anxiously awaiting the judgement of a court in a neighbouring country, pronouncing on whether or not Scots may exercise their democratic right to make decisions about their own future. It is grotesque.”
He said it was important that these rallies are widespread as it shows the movement “is not just in the central belt”. William Duguid will be making a speech as well as have two groups of local musicians and a highland dancer – “it’ll be like a wee concert; it’ll be good fun.” Jenson said: “The message is it will be joyful and celebratory. Whatever the decision on Wednesday morning, that is our starting gun, we’ve gone through that first gate to our new journey of independence, and we know what we’re up against.
Howdle argues that if the Supreme Court judgement goes against the Scottish Government, it is legitimate to ask how the nation of Scotland – supposedly an ‘equal partner’ in the UK – can ever hold a lawful vote about its own future.
