Protests follow a number of tragic events to befall asylum seekers in recent months, in the hopes of changing ‘racist rhetoric’ and “Political bias [which] corrupts our democracy”.

“We’re here to shine a light and expose the truth. Five billionaire oligarchs have control of our press, they promote racism, classism and climate denialism while obscuring the real issues and threats. We need to stand together to take back our democracy and free the truth.” – Stuart Bretherton, Extinction Rebellion Scotland activist.
