'We'll go into the sewers to defeat the fascists'
Scottish trade unionists take on racist demonstrators in Glasgow

TRADE UNIONISTS had vowed to “go into the sewers” to fight Britain’s growing far-right menace over the weekend, as a neonazi rabble took to the streets of Glasgow.

The Scottish Defence League — an offshoot of the Tommy Robinson-founded English Defence League — was vastly outnumbered by anti-fascist demonstrators in the city’s George Square.

Counter-demonstrators chanted: “There are many many more of us than you” and “nazi scum — off our streets.”
