- GB News’ Neil Oliver:
- “Our heritage, our history, our culture, our society, our communities, our identities as men and women, as sovereign individuals, all of it is being undone [...] This is deliberate and must be resisted at all costs.”
- Toy-throwing response by Gerry Hassan, leading light of Scottish media and Professor of Social Change at Glasgow Caledonian University:
