PROMINENT figures in one of Scotland's largest right-wing groups have been exposed as having previously made comments in support of Hitler and Mussolini.
An investigation by campaign group Stand Up To Racism has revealed that some of these individuals are set to speak at an anti-immigration rally on Friday.
One of these speakers, known online as StillBuilt, posted a video online in March saying he would "rather support" Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini, the fascist leaders of Germany and Italy during the Second World War, over the UK's current politicians "because those guys were actually leaders", with the video displaying a text caption of "Britain needs a dictator".
In another video, his caption reads "only men should have the right to vote", despite Unite the Clans claiming their rallies are being organised to protect women and girls.
Another speaker expected to join the far-right rally at Glasgow Green has previously said on X/Twitter: "You ever thought that maybe it was 'Nazi Germany' standing up to the Jews", adding in separate posts that he does not "care about anti-semitism" because "this is not the homeland of the Jews."
The speaker, known as Josh Fernie, went on to say: "Our island is the ancestral homeland of the English, Scottish and English... not Jews or Muslims or Hindus or Sikhs".
In another post, where he was challenged by another user who said that the Jewish people attacked in a terrorist attack targeting a Manchester synagogue were "British and 'our people' he continued his far-right rhetoric, saying Jewish people "are not our people EXACTLY THE SAME as Muslims are not our people".
Several other known far-right figures are expected to be in attendance, including Patriotic Alternative member Richard McFarlane who has been seen at previous rallies outside of hotels displaying a banner with the so-called “Fourteen Words” slogan coined by American neo-Nazi David Lane written on it: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children".
In August 2025, while sharing a stage with Reform UK councillor Claire Mackie-Brown, McFarlane told the crowd that white people will be a minority in the UK “by the 2060s”.
The Patriotic Alternative has been described as a far-right, fascist, neo-Nazi and white nationalist hate group. At the heart of its ideology is the “white genocide” myth, with the group actively campaigning for the mass deportation of immigrants.
Among the speakers expected is Reform UK MSP and councillor Audrey Dempsey, who defected from Labour after being suspended for claiming “racist attacks on white children and teachers” had been rising in schools across Glasgow.
She was further found to have liked a number of tweets about “anti-white racism" from the far-right Homeland Party, including some slamming Labour.
Earlier this year Dempsey spoke alongside alt-right podcaster and convicted domestic abuser John Watt, another Unite the Clan's figure.
Commenting on their investigation, Stand Up To Racism said they do not "label groups as 'fascist' lightly", but in the wake of their findings are compelled to.
"SUTR does not label groups as 'fascist' lightly but the information we have shared shows that 'Unite the Clans' want to build a street movement that will smash any form of working class resistance. From migrant rights, LGBT+ rights, and women's rights to the right to protest for Palestine," they said.
"Unite the Clans don't care about issues affecting our communities, they are a fascist organisation who wants to build their street movement.
"They want to see a return to the 1930s. We must stand in unity against fascism in Scotland."
SUTR are also urging people to join their counter-protest, being held at the McLennan Arch in Glasgow Green at 11am on Saturday 25 July, an hour before the Unite the Clans rally starts.
Last month, following widespread violent far-right disorder triggered by a stabbing in Belfast and amplification from figures like Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk, a group of largely masked men rioted on the streets of Glasgow, forcing roads to be closed and worshippers in the Central Mosque to be locked inside for their own protection.
A SUTR counter-protest drowned out the follow-up rally organised by the far-right, with thousands in attendance. Another protest held in Edinburgh after a "racist attack" in the city that saw a 36-year-old white man arrested and charged with five counts of attempted murder “aggravated by reason of having a terrorist connection” after a series of alleged stabbings in the Scottish capital.
