TikToker faces police probe over secret filming using Meta ‘smart’ glasses

One of the most disturbing incidents occurs on Skye where he tells a UK-born Sikh shopkeeper of Indian heritage that there is “forced” diversity in Europe.

He goes on to refer to the Kalergi Plan – a far right conspiracy theory about a plot to “breed out the white race”.

The woman, who was running the shop with her teenage daughter, politely suggests his comments are “slightly derogatory”.

When he leaves, Margerison angrily describes her in his video commentary as “condescending” and complains that “they don’t understand”.

The woman, who was born in London and has lived in Skye for 20 years, told BBC Scotland News he initiated the conversation by asking “what are you doing here?” but edited this out of the published footage.

She said her encounter with Margerison, who is heavily built and well over 6ft tall, was “100% intimidating” and that she cried when she was later told by a friend that a secretly-filmed video had been published on TikTok.

“You’re made to feel very small when you see a video like this,” she said.

“And it’s sad because everyone in the local community is really nice. This was really upsetting.”

While in the Hebrides, Margerison also filmed an angry encounter with an elderly couple in a supermarket after they complained that he had “loudly and rudely” asked them to move out of his way.

He follows them around the store, at one point blocking their path, swears in front of them, accuses them of being “mental”.

He also tells them he intends to post footage of them on TikTok which he says is “well within my rights”.
