Falkirk unites against the far-right, Inverness humiliates the fascists

Anti-racists and anti-fascists across Scotland scored two crucial victories today.

Support classes and events are routinely offered to parents of children in schools and it is very revealing that these “protesters” are only reacting to the support offered to migrant parents. ESOL classes are a vital tool for helping migrants to build community, access support, and find employment. We stand in full solidarity with the parents and staff at the school, as well as the staff and students involved in the ESOL classes.

Both Cairnie and Houston, while supposedly acting in the name of 'protecting women and children' have supported the convicted domestic abuser John Watt - working with him, sharing platforms with him and promoting his harassment of refugees and migrants. It is disgraceful that Cairnie and Houston are now targeting primary schools.

Craig Houston, a far right agitator, has been involved in multiple protests targeting refugees and migrants including in Falkirk, Peterhead and Glasgow. In September 2024, Houston spoke at a rally in Glasgow that was promoted by fascist Tommy Robinson, and where far right protesters made Nazi Salutes at the rally. Alex Cairnie, the supposed 'Spartan Child Protection Team' and associate of Houston, has been key to the protest in Dalmarnock - spreading misinformation online. Cairnie is also known for targeting refugees and migrants and for his links to the far right. In September this year Cairnie praised fascist Tommy Robinson, speaking to a far right 'unity' rally in Glasgow he stated that fascist Robinson was a "British Patriot and a man that loves his country".

SUTR Glasgow is disgusted to see that parents at Dalmarnock Primary school are being harassed by a racist campaign, led by those who have absolutely no connection to the school. SUTR can confirm that two of the key people involved in whipping up misinformation at the school, have been involved in multiple far right and racist protests across Scotland.

Our message is clear: we refuse to let the far right win. We refuse to let Reform UK gain victories in the Holyrood 2026 elections. We will stand together to defeat the far right in the streets and in the ballot box ✊

Text reads: The truth is that sexual violence is endemic across society and far too often ignored by those in power. Public services for women, children, victims and survivors have been cut to the bone, and too many cases are left without justice. We believe in a society where all women are safe, supported, and free from abuse — regardless of their background or where they come from. Standing up for women’s rights means rejecting racism and division, and building unity to demand real action to end violence against women and girls.

Text reads: Blaming them distracts from tackling the deep-rooted causes of abuse and from holding those truly responsible to account. The far right have seized on these lies, spread misinformation, and mobilised protests outside hotels housing refugees—including women and children. This does nothing to make women safer.
September 28, 2025 at 7:34 PM

Text reads: We reject the far right’s racist lies about “protecting” women and girls. They are not defenders of women—they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division. Violence against women and girls is a serious and urgent issue. But it will never be solved by the likes of Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick targeting refugees, Muslims and migrants. There is no evidence that people seeking refuge are more likely to commit acts of sexual violence. Many are themselves survivors of violence, war, and persecution.

The campaign was launched by Stand up to Racism Scotland in collaboration with several organisations across Scotland in response to the far right’s exploitation of violence against women to fuel hate and division.
Text reads: On Saturday 13th September, Tommy Robinson - a fascist who founded the EDL - managed to get 100,000 on a demonstration in London. The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, addressed the rally calling for people to “fight back or die”. This is an urgent wake up call for us all, including in Scotland which is not immune to racism or the growth of the far right. We have already seen protests in cities and towns across Scotland targeting refugees and migrants.
