Any form of hatred, prejudice, intolerance or violence on our streets is abhorrent – and perpetrators will be brought to justice.
Violence and racism have no place on our streets, and I utterly condemn the actions of the mindless few involved in the disorder and assaults that took place in Glasgow.
...we will put the needs of victims and the safety of wider society central to the work that we continue to do over the course of this five-year parliament.
