Reform UK deputy leader in Scotland Thomas Kerr reports human rights lawyer Aamer Anwar to police over allegations described as “hate speech” connected to an immigration protest. Multiple outlets report that Kerr’s complaint challenges statements made by Anwar at the event. The reports say Anwar rejects the claims and disputes Kerr’s account of what was said. According to the same coverage, Anwar criticizes Kerr for allegedly wasting police time, and he also uses a slur comparing Kerr to “Tommy Robinson” and framing him as a “wannabe tartan Tommy Robinson.” The outlets describe Kerr as the MSP leading the complaint and present the matter as an exchange of accusations arising from the protest context. No source provides details of the police action beyond the report to authorities, and there is no confirmed outcome of any investigation in the articles supplied. The story centers on competing allegations of offensive speech made by the lawyer and the MSP, with the police now positioned to assess Kerr’s report and Anwar’s denial.
