Trade unionists outraged over vandalism of seafarers' monument
TRADE unionists are “disgusted” by the vandalism of a Glasgow monument dedicated to British seafarers who aided democratic forces during the Spanish Civil War.
The Blockade Runners memorial, which was only unveiled in March this year, was daubed with football and sectarian-related graffiti over the weekend.
During the war, when the Republican government defended itself against a fascist military uprising, many British seafarers defied a trade blockade in order to aid the beleaguered democratic forces.
