Police had to be called to Aberdeen University last night after former MP George Galloway “was attacked with glitter” as he was giving a lecture.
A group of five protestors were removed from the arena and Galloway finished his talk.
Galloway later tweeted: “Someone calling themselves ‘Trans’ and an ‘anarchist’ led a five person attack on me on the platform at Aberdeen University. I continued.”
He later tweeted that he had an “unknown substance in my eyes and lungs and feel a little unwell”
Feeling better thanks to all; just needed a good shower. Thought not as much as the “Student Left” who attacked me & tried vainly to stop me
