The Scottish Independence Convention launched a national petition to demand a referendum on Scottish Independence in the Scottish Parliament today. The campaign is appropriately called, “Let Scotland Decide”, and there will be a celebratory launch amid great fanfare and celebration at a Burns Supper on Sunday 27 January in Oran Mor, Glasgow.
