Yesterday Edinburgh City Council decided to refuse permission for All Under One Banner (AUOB) to hold a march from Calton Hill to the Parliament, taking place tomorrow 25 September. (1)
The reason given was that a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order requires a minimum of 8 weeks. Earlier this week justification by Council officials for refusing this route was given to be due to objections by Police. (2)
Police in Edinburgh have since said they are willing to facilitate the march from Calton Hill, however the Council yesterday refused to change their decision. (3)
We have just sent this email to the authorities #AUOBEdinburgh 🏴
'Good afternoon,
It has been encouraging to hear Police Scotland are willing to facilitate the procession on Saturday from Calton Hill to the Parliament. (1)

Now this is the case we call on @Edinburgh_CC to grant immediate official permission for the #AUOBEdinburgh march on Saturday, as the @EdinburghPolice previous position of not taking responsibility has been the only obstacle in the way. (2)
In the interests of public order and public safety, knowing the longer this goes on the more likely it will increase the numbers on Saturday and with the confusion caused create a length and breadth to the demonstration across the City, we ask you to grant permission today. (3)

Ironic that the UK's 2016 referendum has put a repeat of Scotland's 2014 referendum back on the agenda.

Worth looking at the Twitter numbers.
About 7,700 tweets, from just over 3,800 users. Ave. 1.99 tweets per user.
80% retweets.
Those are at the top end of the figures you'd expect for organic traffic.

There's a lot of activity from the most active posters.
By my count, 1,634 tweets from the 50 most active, or about 21% of traffic. That looks high, but bear in mind that 7.7k tweets is a relatively small flow overall, so the percentage appears proportionately higher.
