SCOTTISH Labour has failed to organise a piss-up in a brewery after inviting racism row MP Hugh Gaffney as a "special guest".
The party was criticised after inviting the politician to a mini version of "Jez Fest" that will take place in the Drygate Brewery.
Gaffney made racist and homophobic remarks at a recent Burns Night celebration.
A Scottish Labour source speaking to the Scottish Sun said: “Members will rightly question if this is a sensible use of their money.
“Billing Hugh Gaffney as a special guest is insulting, given his racist and homophobic comments. They could have just booked Bernard Manning to compere.”
The ad for the event lists Gaffney alongside jazz acts and, of course, Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard.
The SNP’s Humza Yousaf said: “For Labour to proudly bill racist MP Hugh Gaffney as a ‘special guest’, having failed to take disciplinary action against him, is frankly a disgrace.
“Not only is Richard Leonard doing nothing to stop Gaffney’s appearance, he is actually sharing a stage with him.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
