dailyrecord.co.uk:

A Glasgow loyalist walk has been 'rerouted' from a Catholic church where a priest was spat on due to safety fears as balaclava-clad protestors kept watch to protect the site.Th council faced backlash after allowing the loyalist group, The Apprentice Boys of Derry, to march past a Catholic church on November 10, where its priest was spat on and subjected to sectarian abuse in 2018.Angry protestors gathered outside St Alphonsus in the Calton area on this morning, many with signs reading "No anti-Catholic marches past Catholic Churches", prompting the loyalist march to be rerouted around London Road and Bain Street amid safety fears.

We previously reported that Priest Canon Tom White slammed Glasgow council's decision to allow The Bridegton Apprentice Boys of Derry to march past his church after he was previously spat on and subjected to sectarian abuse after a mass on Saturday, July 7, 2018.Bradley Wallace was later jailed for ten months after his DNA was found to match the saliva on the vestments worn by the priest that day.

The priest spoke out over the plans for the controversial march. He said: "There has been no community engagement whatsoever as far as I am aware.

I'd love to know how they evidenced this decision."It certainly can't have been by looking at the arrest figures for these events.
