Union flag demonstrations to target Scottish Parliament

THE Scottish Parliament is the latest venue earmarked for demonstrations in support of the Loyalist Union flag dispute in Northern Ireland, with protesters claiming the events are now also anti-independence.

Multiple rush-hour protests are planned for today. A further four are across central Scotland this weekend, while another was due to take place in West Lothian last night.

As well as the Saturday lunchtime protest at the Parliament building in Edinburgh, rallies are lined up for Irvine in Ayrshire and Larkhall in South Lanarkshire. Another is planned for Ayr on Sunday.

Contextual targeting label: 
Local government
