Anti-racism campaigners VOW to show far-right groups they are not welcome in Scotland

Anti-racism campaigners have vowed to show the far right they are not welcome in Scotland after an anti-immigration rally was planned for Glasgow next month.

However, they warned against a "false sense of security" after the disorder across England and Northern Ireland earlier in the month was not seen in Scotland.

Stand Up to Racism Scotland is planning a major event in Glasgow on 7 September in a coalition with nine trade unions and refugee organisations in response to an antiimmigration rally planned for the city's George Square.

The anti-immigration rally was promoted by Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen YaxleyLennon, the co-founder of the now defunct English Defence League, in the days after the Southport attack.

Organised by the Glasgow Cabbie Facebook page, which has circulated misinformation relating to the murder of three children in Southport, the rally is being promoted online under the same "enough is enough" banner that led to unrest in Liverpool, Manchester, Belfast and Leeds in recent weeks.
