The leader of Glasgow City Council has warned 'right wing bams' they are not welcome in in the city amid concerns a lockdown protest is to be staged this weekend.
Glasgow Live reported yesterday that two 'mass gatherings' have been organised by the UK Freedom Movement to take place in Glasgow Green and Queen's Park on Saturday.
They are part of Scotland and UK-wide events against what the organisation describe as an "unlawful" lockdown.
In response to the news, Council leader Susan Aitken tweeted: "The divisive politics and the sheer, selfish stupidity of these far-right wing bams are not welcome in Glasgow.
"Steer well clear, folks, let the police handle it."
Police also urged people not to take part in the planned protest at the two city parks having been made aware of the leaflets circulating online about the gatherings.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "The Scottish Government's guidance is clear - people should only leave the house for very limited purposes, for example for basic necessities, such as food and medicine, for exercise, for medical needs or travelling for work which cannot be done at home.
"Public gatherings of more than two people, with limited exceptions, are prohibited."
