Farage 'not welcome in Glasgow'

ANTIFASCIST campaigners in Scotland declared that Nigel Farage was “not welcome in Glasgow or anywhere else” as the Ukip leader attempted to hold a controversial public meeting yesterday.

Hope not Hate Scotland secretary Rab O’Donnell told the Morning Star the location of the Farage meeting had been “shrouded in secrecy” as the Ukip leader dodged hostile campaigners.

Earlier, in a radio interview, the Ukip leader made a bizarre call for the Queen to step into the independence referendum debate.
