Loyalists refuse to condemn George Square protesters

LOYALISTS in Scotland have refused to end their support for far-right protesters who confronted refugee rights and anti-racist demonstrations in Glasgow despite their links to neonazism.  

Grand Master Jim McHarg of the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland previously rejected any claims of racism or neonazism being on display during protests in Glasgow.

Mr McHarg refused yesterday to condemn thugs who gathered to oppose a demonstration at George Square by activists seeking to stop evictions of refugees.
