Bid to stop National Front from recruiting outside schools in Dundee

Bid to stop National Front from recruiting outside schools in Dundee

Dundee City Council is getting legal advice to see if it can ban the National Front from recruiting outside city high schools next month.

The far-right group revealed this week it plans to distribute copies of its Bulldog magazine to over 14-year-olds as they leave playgrounds in Dundee, Aberdeen and Glasgow next month.

A post on The National Front Glasgow’s Facebook page stated: “We have sent copies of the party’s relaunched Bulldog magazine to our units across Scotland.

“We will be distributing free copies of Bulldog to school children aged 14 years and over.

“The first copies will be distributed outside schools in Aberdeen, Dundee and Glasgow in January 2016.

“Let’s recruit the youth of our country and take back our land.”

The National Front describes itself as the UK’s only white nationalist political party.

Bulldog is the official magazine of the Young National Front.

Dundee’s education convener Stewart Hunter said: “We are taking legal advice to see if we can stop this.

“While it’s good that 16-year-olds can vote in the Scottish Parliament elections no mainstream political parties campaign outside of schools.

“This is completely inappropriate. It is disgraceful.”

Mr Hunter added head teachers would be made aware of the plans and steps would be taken to protect pupils from ethnic backgrounds who may feel threatened by the presence of National Front members.

SNP MSP Sandra White, who is deputy convener of the Scottish Parliament’s equal opportunities committee, said anyone distributing Bulldog should be reported to the police.

She said: “Anyone seen distributing racist literature to children outside schools should be reported to the police.

“The views of the National Front have no place in modern Scotland and thankfully no support.”

Both the Scottish Conservatives and Scottish Labour condemned the National Front.

A Labour spokesman said distributing Bulldog was a “despicable attempt to try and poison young minds”.
