Celtic's Green Brigade's Peaceful Protest. Saturday 16th March.

This is a video that shows Strathclyde police up for what they are rapidly becoming. That is, a political tool to be used to stifle freedom on the streets. It is a fundamental right to be able to peacefully protest as long as there is no violence, or intimidation used by the protesters.
The people protesting were members of the Glasgow Celtic supporters group, The Green Brigade. The vast majority of the around 1,000 people were under the age of 25. They were protesting about the anti sectarian law that was passed a few years ago, and the way the law was being interpreted by the authorities to put an end to street protests. the actions of the police last Saturday, 16th March, were heavy handed to say the least and according to witnesses, downright barbaric. My own view is that this is part of the governments plan to further erode our personal freedoms. The Green Brigade are themselves being used by the police to falsely highlight a fictitious public order problem. Don't get me wrong, Glasgow does have a sectarian problem of long standing, but to my knowledge The Green Brigade have only been sighted once for any sectarian incident, and that has been proven to have been a fabrication in the extreme. To sum up. The police are maliciously targeting The Green Brigade with a view to provoking a violent reaction and to their credit, The Green Brigade members have not taken the bait. long may it continue. I am sure their will be more to say on this issue.
Till next time.
