IN the heart of Glasgow, George Square is a prominent meeting place for many campaigners and protesters which can be watched live online.
A counter-protest against a planned far-right demonstration is set to take place at George Square this Saturday at midday.
The rally, organised by Stand Up To Racism (SUTR), is a response to a “pro-UK” rally promoted by far-right figures including Tommy Robinson.

The counter-protest can be viewed live via an online webcam.
It updates every 20 seconds, but the local authority says that at times of high traffic, the webcam may become unavailable for short periods.
Where can I watch the webcam?
People can watch the live web camera via the Glasgow City Council website here.
On the web page it says, “see what's happening in the centre of Glasgow or just check out the local weather if you're planning a trip to the city”.
It also states that in times of high website traffic the webcam may become unavailable for a short time and if it happens to “please try again later”.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
