BELIEVE in Scotland (BiS) has announced its intention to host a 'Festival of Independence'.
The campaigning organisation is to host the festival as part of its upcoming march and rally in Glasgow on Saturday, April 20 in partnership with Yes group Pensioners for Independence.
Later on the Saturday, there will be an afterparty for hundreds of volunteer stewards, speakers and donors, featuring a performance from Trad Awards Scots Singer of the Year 2023 Iona Fyfe. “The movement has enough negativity and politics going on. We don't think it's that radical to think that we should make our path to independence a celebration of Scotland's culture and values – we should campaign more than we complain.”
"We want to make the content appealing to those remaining undecided voters - especially the pensioners who are not yet convinced! Reaching them is what Pensioners for Indy is all about.”Yes Pollokshields co-ordinator Bob Furness reflected on the previous local campaign days held in Perth and Linlithgow as part of dozens planned for this year.
