Anti-fascists to mobilise against Tommy Robinson-backed demo in Glasgow

ANTI-FASCISTS will turn out in force to oppose a far-right rally in Glasgow tomorrow. 

Nine trade unions, faith organisations and Irish rap trio Kneecap are among those supporting the Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) counterprotest in the city’s George Square.

An anti-immigration “Pro-UK” rally is due to take place in the same square. Called by Stef Shaw, who goes by the name of “Glasgow Cabbie,” the far-right gathering has the backing of Tommy Robinson, the co-founder of the now defunct English Defence League.
