Reform’s social media advert featuring Anas Sarwar was slammed last year as "blatantly racist".
Reform’s leader in Scotland has admitted that disgraceful adverts questioning Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar’s loyalty to the country, which were condemned as racist, were a mistake.
Scottish Labour MP Kirst McNeill appeared on BBC Scotland during a question and answer session alongside Malcolm Offord, leader of Reform UK Scotland.
McNeill asked if Offord would finally like to condemn the ‘absolutely revolting, rancid Reform adverts that were put out about Anas Sarwar, questioning his loyalty to Scotland.
“Do you condemn them?”, she asked.
Reform’s social media advert featuring Anas Sarwar was slammed last year as “blatantly racist”.
The online video posted ahead of a by-election in South Lanarkshire featured text which says: “Anas Sarwar has said he will prioritise the Pakistani community”.
Offord replied: “So there was a mistake made with that.”
We wonder if Farage will also have the backbone to not only admit it was a mistake but to apologise?
