The Guardian‘s ‘Scotland’ Correspondent, Libby Brooks, on 20 September 2025, had:
Anti-immigration protesters have clashed with anti-racist counter-protesters in tense scenes in Glasgow this afternoon, a week after the largest far-right event in decades took place in London. The statue of Scottish statesman Donald Dewar, father of the Holyrood parliament, was surrounded by union flags bearing the words: “Stop the boats” and “Unite the kingdom”.
Further down Buchanan Street, one of the city’s main shopping thoroughfares, representatives from trade unions as well as anti-racism and Palestinian solidarity groups carried signs and banners reading “Bairns not bigots”, “Aye welcome refugees” and “God hates fascists”.
By 1pm, hundreds of people waving placards reading “The people will not be silenced” and “Just a worried mum” had gathered at the steps leading up to the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall for the “unity rally”, which was first advertised by a podcaster called John Watt.
Oooh, sounds tasty. How many arrests?
Eh, just the one, pal.
Some clash, eh?
Any fighting not leading to arrests? Nope, none.
Police Officers injured? None.
How does that compare with London, the previous week?
Police say 25 arrests made, 26 officers injured. Now, that’s a clash.
