Two Scottish lasses react to London's decision to invade Iraq for the third time in 25 years. Yes rally at Holyrood Parliament in Edinburgh Saturday 27 September 2014
Thousands of people have gathered outside the Scottish Parliament for a rally in support of independence.
A sea of saltires waved as the crowds listened to musical performances and speeches from campaigners.
The rally, organised under the Voice Of The People banner, comes just over a week after Scotland rejected independence in the referendum.
Many of those in attendance were still sporting badges, signs and banners in support of the Yes campaign, which won 45% of the vote on September 18.
They joined in with renditions of Flower Of Scotland and Caledonia, while speakers urged them to carry on with the campaign.
Those addressing the crowd included SNP MSP Marco Biagi and Kate Higgins of the Women For Independence group.
Ms Higgins urged people to reach out to the older female generation who may have voted No, and to take the campaign into deprived communities across Scotland.

Scottish independence: Thousands at Holyrood rally, Edinburgh

No chance of trouble in Edinburgh today, or tonight, as we don't have any unionists in or around our city. Half the people I know were there today. We've been having pictures and videos sent in all afternoon when I was doing the live football. THIS IS HOW A PEOPLE CONTROL A GOVERNMENT!
Take note, World, when Government doesn't work for Scotland (and the English, to be fair) we take to the streets. Today passed with no trouble at all in Edinburgh; it was all in good spirit. I heard there were a few warned by police to not talk about the ongoing police investigation with the Electoral Commission over vote fraud and there were a few angry voices.
Similar to today happened all over Scotland with Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, and Glasgow, amongst others. We're not giving in to what we all know to be a rigged Election/Referendum. As the police and Electoral Commission gather findings for possible evidence for the procurator fiscal in the highest court in the land on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, we just won't accept blatant cheating that has been more than proven.
Still we wait for DevoMax powers. We were told on Thursday by David Cameron he will 100% hand them to us, but with the SNP (Scottish National Party) a party for Scotland ONLY - and being now the 3rd largest in the UK and looking to overtake the Conservative party in joined members - I think we all know in Scotland that freedom is not too far away.
David Cameron and his Westminster buddies made a HUGE error by signing a legally binding document, twice, for powers the people of England and Wales also now want. It may be that our freedom will come quicker than expected as Cameron tries to save his English vote. We have more pandas in Edinburgh Zoo than we do serving Tory/Conservative politicians in our parliament building.

Comment: It appears that the schools are attempting to override parental discretion in determining the timing and appropriateness of sharing explicit sexual information with their young children. It is becoming more obvious that the State desires to take away as much parental control of children as possible.
