PROTESTERS have been kicked out of their George Square camp after failing to honour an agreement to move on.

Police officers and council staff swooped in to clear the site this morning amid concerns over blaring music, offensive language and drinking.

Originally a homelessness protest, the group was guaranteed accommodation when their case was taken to court.

However, one man, Jason Miller, remained in George Square and was joined by a group of yellow vest protesters.

Inspired by the Gilet Jaunes movement in France, the organisation in Glasgow said they wanted their voice to be heard by the Court of Human Rights.

On Tuesday, Mr Miller said: "We are going nowhere. We want to get to the Court of Human Rights. We are fighting for justice for all the homeless people.

“We are all happy to be arrested and are prepared for it. We are here to stand up for our own people. This is for the homeless men and women across Scotland. I am not giving up until they have a home.”

Last week Glasgow City Council were granted a decree from the Sheriff Court giving them the power to remove the campers within 24 hours.

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: "The occupiers promised in court that the camp would be removed when any homeless people originally associated with it, had been accommodated and offered complex needs assessments.

"We were more than happy that they would finally accept our offers of help. All but one of the homeless people left to go to their new accommodation.

"However, the organiser, who already has a temporary furnished flat provided by homelessness services, reneged on that promise and stayed. He was then joined by new Gilet Jaune protesters.

"Given the organiser’s failure to do as stated in court, today we used the decree to remove the camp amid concerns about the condition of the site in George Square, blaring music, offensive language and drinking."

Council staff have now fenced off the grassy areas within the square to prevent the protesters returning.
