THE organisers of the Hands Off Our Parliament protest outside Holyrood tomorrow have revised the numbers likely to attend markedly upwards.

What was originally anticipated as a small-scale demonstration by a few dozen people has now become a full day of events with 1500 pro-devolution supporters indicating they will attend.

The human chain around the Parliament building at Holyrood at 12 noon will definitely be completed, in what will be a clear sign to the Westminster Tory Government to end its Brexit power grab.

Events start at Holyrood from 10am with speakers and music from 11am before the human chain at noon, after which there will be a noisy protest by 100 bikers who want to “give them our thunder”.

At 2pm there will be a Show of Shields to emphasise the protective nature of the protests and after more speakers and music, at 3.30pm, a car convoy will pass around Holyrood.

All day near the Parliament building there will be a Speakers’ Corner featuring Keep Scotland the Brand founder Ruth Watson and National columnist Paul Kavanagh.

Organiser Dave Llewellyn said the protest “started off in January as an idea for a flashmob of 75 people if we could get that many on a Friday”.

Last night he said: “We are expecting more than 1500 people in total, so that will be enough to get the chain formed – if the weather is good it will be many more.

“It seems to have caught the imagination of so many people. We know of 80-year-olds going to their first ever political demonstration and the good thing is that people of different politics are going because they can all unite over the threat to our Parliament.

“The event is child friendly and there are more than 40 child-size shields should any parents feel like bringing them down in the afternoon as it’s half day in Edinburgh.”
