The Scottish Parliament, elected by the people of Scotland, set October 19 2023 as the date for a referendum on independence. But, one year ago the unelected Supreme Court in Westminster ruled it was illegal, denying us our right to decide for ourselves.<\/p>\n

So on the anniversary of this outrageous decision the Radical Independence Campaign (RIC) were outside the Westminster government\u2019s Scottish outpost in Edinburgh (Queen Elizabeth House) to tell the British government – and his Majesty\u2019s so-called \u201cOpposition\u201d to boot – that we will not accept this veto by an unelected sub-committee of the ruling class.<\/p>\n

We will assert our right to self-determination.<\/p>\n

RIC members and other came from all over Scotland to do this.<\/p>\n

Banners were displayed, speeches were made and leafelts distributed to staff at QE house and passersby, whilst republican songs were sung.<\/p>\n

Another Scotland is possible!<\/p>\n

The ruling class through its Westmonster creatures would like to pretend independence has gone away. Not if we can help it!<\/p>\n

THEY banned our referendum.<\/p>\n

THEY impose assaults on our human rights.<\/p>\n

\u00a0THEY attack workers who are seeking to defend their livelihoods and their families.<\/p>\n

THEY give unconditional support and arms to Israel\u2019s genocidal war in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Whoever is in Number Ten, THEY are certain to continue this approach, so the dis-United Kingdom will sink ever deeper into crisis.<\/p>\n

However this protest was just one of a rolling series of events highlighting the presence and role of the UK state in our towns, cities and countryside.<\/p>\n

Our aim is to make these events more frequent, bigger and more effective.<\/p>\n

Join us.<\/p>\n
