A protest in Glasgow which resulted in 15 arrests has been branded a “demonstration of far-right hatred” by First Minister John Swinney. Violence erupted at Glasgow Green on Saturday between attendees at a rally organised by Unite the Clans and a larger counter-protest. A number of attendees at the rally were filmed performing what appeared to be Nazi salutes in videos which circulated on social media. Speaking to the Press Association on Monday, First Minister John Swinney said the scenes were “completely and utterly unacceptable”. “It was a demonstration of far-right hatred within the city of Glasgow at a time when the city was also welcoming representatives of 74 Commonwealth countries in a joyful set of sporting occasions throughout the city.
