MORE than 5,000 people rallied in Glasgow’s George Square on Saturday in solidarity with the migrants and refugees increasingly targeted by the far right.

The demonstration came together to counter a call by racist grifter Stephen Yaxley-Lennon — known as Tommy Robinson — for an anti-immigration rabble to assemble in the city; Yaxley-Lennon was nowhere to be seen as his fans faced the humiliation of being outnumbered 15 to one.

To the west of the square, the rally organised by Stand Up to Racism (SUTR), backed by the STUC, and attended by thousands of trade unionists and community activists, heard from a host of speakers from trade unions as well as those with first-hand experience facing racism and building solidarity in their communities.
