#TeamGlasgowLoves at the Necropolis ⤵️
Fascinating visiting Glasgow’s Necropolis today seeing its architecture, sculpture. Interesting to note it is modelled on Père-Lachaise in Paris, it’s estimated 50,000 people are buried there - many with European connections

This week we join Scotland’s leading pro-European campaign organisation, the European Movement in Scotland, #EMiS to launch a campaign, through its affiliated local groups across the Scotland, to #DefendDemocracy & highlight the sectors of the economy damaged by #Brexit.
In the face of serious threats to our economic & political future, it's time to join forces & shout "enough"! Campaigners will send letters to Scotland’s MPs & MSPs to demand that our elected representatives stand up for democracy & our country's economic interests.
EMiS chair, former MP (Edinburgh North & Leith) @marklazarowicz said: “Whatever people's views on the EU, on Scotland's future, we need to wake up to the steady dismantling of our democracy; to understand we risk sleepwalking into something which is a democracy in name only."
