The struggle for freedom and justice is not a new struggle, generation after generation of ordinary people have been struggling for that better world for all. We owe it to them to continue that struggle, the struggle will be over when we overthrow the present system of state/capitalism that has spawned so much poverty, wars and insecurity for the mass of the world's population while heaping unimaginable wealth, privileges and power on the few.
The Glasgow Keelie Group and others took to the streets to mark the state murder of one of those freedom fighters. James Purlie Wilson who was brutally hanged and then beheaded by the state on Glasgow Green for his part in the 1820 insurrection. This enactment took place in Glasgow on Sunday 27 August on Glasgow Green, at the Barras and in front of the Glasgow's People's,Palace.
