Anas Sarwar: 'I'm not going anywhere and a mindless minority won't define Scotland'

Anas Sarwar says he’s “not going anywhere” and that a “mindless minority” in the far-right won’t dictate Scotland as a nation.
The Scottish Labour leader responded to speculation planned “far-right” protests could take place in Scotland after scenes of mass disorder erupted across England, Wales and Northern Ireland over the last week.
Despite social media reports on Wednesday, Police Scotland said there was “no intelligence” to suggest a rally was to take place that day in Glasgow’s George Square.
Sarwar said he has no plans to take his family out of Scotland after former first minister Humza Yousaf said he doesn’t know if his children will be safe in the UK amid the rise in violence.
He told STV News: “Glasgow is my home, Scotland is my home. I’m not going anywhere and my family is not going anywhere.
“I’ve experienced racism and Islamophobia before but I will never allow the actions of a mindless minority to define who we are as a people and who we are as a country.
“Scotland is an open, welcoming, tolerant country and we have always rejected the far-right.
“We can’t be complacent but I’m confident if anything was to happen again, we would reject the politics of the far-right like we’ve seen in other parts of the country.”
