Okay, so it’s going ahead: The Unity rally in Trafalgar Square, where people will come together to say how much the United Kingdom means to them, will take place 6pm Monday 15h September – Battle of Britain day, an appropriate time for the battle for Britain.
And Spectator readers are welcome to come by for a cup of tea in the garden of our office at 22 Old Queen St, before we walk up together. Our garden isn’t massive (as anyone who has survived the crush at our summer party will attest) but if you’d like to come along, email editor@spectator.co.uk.
I know not everyone can get away at that time, and many would love to join us but can’t be in London. This whole thing is very last minute, but we are only days away from the dissolution of the country so there’s not much time.
Some have asked: why London? Isn’t ‘London’ what the SNP moans about? Well yes, but that’s the nationalists’ problem, not ours. London is the capital of the United Kingdom that we’re trying to save, a city that is dominated by people who are not from London, a great melting pot of people from all corners of these islands (and beyond). London embodies the spirit of unity that the United Kingdom represents.
There are 89,500 Scots in London – which is more than Stirling, Falkirk and St Andrews combined. If Scots don’t like London, as the SNP would have us believe, then they – we – have a funny way of showing it.
Trafalgar Square is also accessible from the East and South East of England, home to a further 212,000 Scots. These three areas combined have more Scots than any city in Scotland, with the exception of Glasgow and Edinburgh.

But tomorrow is not a rally for Scots. It’s a rally for all those who love this country and want to keep Britain united. I hope to see as many as possible of you there.
