Stuart Waiton
Dr. Stuart Waiton is a senior sociology and criminology lecturer at the University of Abertay. He teaches on matters relating to anti-social behaviour, moral panics, hate crimes, and politics.[1] In 2019, he was chosen by the Brexit Party as a candidate to be an MEP in Scotland[2] (he was unsuccessful[3]) and later as a possible prospective parliamentary candidate for Dundee West.[4]
Waiton is a columnist for the Glasgow Herald and a contributor to a number of mainstream radio and television discussion programmes.[5] He has also appeared on the far-right conspiracist Richie Allen Show five times between June 2018 and May 2019;[6] the shows he featured on featured antisemitic material, including the mocking of Jewish victims of the Holocaust.[7]
He has been involved in campaigns against the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.[5] His comments on transgender rights have been criticised; he has said that trans equality is "strange" as "it appears to ask for something that is biologically impossible". He has also called state support for gender-neutral toilets and school uniforms as part of "the potentially authoritarian and censorious dynamic" of equality campaigners.[8]
