RIGHT-WING extremists were warned last night that Scots won't let them use the Glasgow Airport attack to peddle hate.

The British National Party tried in vain to boost support after Pollokshields teenager Kriss Donald was snatched off the street, stabbed, doused in petrol and set alight.

Three members of an Asian gang were jailed for life for the racially aggravated murder.

The BNP tried to exploit racial tensions in the aftermath - but Scots wouldn't listen.

Glasgow Council leader Steven Purcell said: "The people of Glasgow have shown in the past they will not succumb to racial intolerance because of the acts of criminals."

Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti added: "Scots have the confidence to unite against all forms of extremism."
