No room for hate

Sarwar's message after party rocked by race row scandals

- PAUL HUTCHEON

SCOTS Labour leader Anas Sarwar has said no community is immune from "hate" after two of his senior politicians were suspended over race rows.

He said everyone has a "collective responsibility" to root out prejudice after scandals involving Glasgow councillor Audrey Dempsey and MP candidate Wilma Brown.

And last night Dempsey quit the party, claiming she was the victim of a "vendetta". She was criticised for trying to table a question on racist attacks on white kids and for comments claiming asylum seekers take priority over native Scots.
