AN SNP candidate has hit out after vandals superglued the locks on her campaign office.
Natalie McGarry, candidate for Glasgow East, said the vandalism was an "attempt to silence us".
Volunteers were unable to get into the office in West Muir Street at Parkhead Cross on Tuesday morning after the locks on the shutters appeared to be superglued shut.
Ms McGarry said the team were now searching for new locks.
A volunteer is doing the locksmith work for the team.
Ms McGarry said: "We see it as an attempt to silence us, and an attempt to silence democracy.
"Imagine the expense and the nuisance this has caused.
"But we won't be silenced."
The vandalism was reported to the police.
In a Facebook post, Ms McGarry added: "We have called police. We won't be intimidated. Our campaigning is going fantastically, if that threatens vested interests, all the better."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
