Still Yes Holyrood Rally…. Speeches from the event.
On 18th September 2024 we marked the 10th anniversary of the historic first Scottish Independence Referendum, Indyref for short. During a passionate and exhilarating campaign, support for the Yes side grew from around 30% to over 50% before settling back at 45% on the day of the vote. As Professor Sir John Curtice, our favourite psephologist, said – the Yes side lost the vote but they won the campaign. Support for independence has hovered around the 50% mark for the last decade.
Campaign group Believe In Scotland organised events throughout Scotland to mark the occasion. The mood was reflective, but upbeat and determined. We are STILL YES.
Speeches from the Holyrood rally:
- 00:48 Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp, founder of Believe In Scotland
- 12:56 Lesley Riddoch, award winning journalist, author, filmmaker
- 28:32 Richard Walker, Editor of the Sunday National
- 40:31 Andrew Barr, co-founder of the National Collective
- 46:52 Gordon MacIntyre Kemp – the last word!
