The weekend march which saw protesters storm Stirling’s Thistles shopping centre during a rally against Covid restrictions and vaccine passports was staged without permission from the police or the council.
In Wednesday’s Observer, we told how the rally left King’s Park but soon turned into an “unauthorised procession” that saw up to 300 activists march into the city centre and make their way into the Thistles.
Whilst there, shoppers allege that mothers were forced to flee into shops with their children as protesters made their way through the centre and one demonstrator was claimed to have snatched a mask from a stranger’s face.
