A ' racist ' group has sparked fury after hanging banners reading 'White Lives Matter' over landmarks in Glasgow. The disturbing pickets were hung up on statues in city centre at 9am on Sunday, July 31.
Pictures show the Queen Victoria and William Gladstone monuments in George Square and the Duke of Wellington on Ingram Street were among the sculptures to be targeted. It is understood that the pickets were erected as a counter-response to the Black Lives Matter movement - a worldwide campaign for racial equality.
Other images shared on social media show a group of around eight people standing outside the Gallery of Modern Art with a man in sunglasses holding up one of the signs. Condemning the 'racist' action, leader of Glasgow City Council, Susan Aitken, said that officials will support police with future enforcement if it is deemed necessary.
She said: “This is a slogan that we have seen used by the far right, by actual neo Nazis, in America. It isn’t making some clever point about equality – it is a racist attempt to trivialise, excuse and ignore the discrimination, hate and violence endured by people of colour.
"I don’t believe it is a campaign that has much support in Glasgow – and the council will certainly take steps to remove this sort of material and support police if they believe other action is necessary.”
Furious witnesses have hit out at the campaign, with one warning that the signs are not welcome in the city.
One man, who wished not to be named, said:" I was shocked and disappointed to see these far-right groups becoming more and more emboldened to becoming active in the middle of Glasgow. We all pride ourselves in being a friendly and multicultural city but I believe these signs could make BAME people in
