Sarwar to boycott BNP. Now what about Saeed?
Last night myself and half-a-dozen members of SSY were in Townhead to deliver leaflets, spreading the SSP’s message: Rage against unemployment, poverty and war. It’s the type of area where you can see the need for investment in jobs, pensions and services, not the cuts and austerity promised by New Labour. 
While out and about we bumped into Labour candidate Anas Sarwar. Clearly impressed with the size and youthfulness of the SSP crew, he commented “now that’s a team”. He is astute like that. It was an ideal opportunity to dig him up about not replying to the email I sent him over a week ago, in which I challenged him to make a pledge to refuse to share a platform with the BNP.
To his credit, he categorically stated that he would not share a platform with a representative of a racist, neo-fascist organisation. Well done.
I sent the same email to Osama Saeed, the SNP candidate. Unfortunately he is yet to respond.
Feel free to get in touch with him to ask for a straight reply to a simple question. Email him at blog@osamasaeed.org
No platform for the nazi BNP!
