Tommy Robinson says he ‘got it wrong’ over Glasgow man falsely accused of filming children

Beg had taken his children to the park on Sunday evening, but at about 21:00 he became aware that an anti-immigration demonstration was heading his way.

“Just past 21:00 we heard a bit of a commotion, a helicopter flying above us, a lot of people walking towards the park with banners in their hands, a balaclava on.

“People started panicking and leaving with their children.”

He quickly walked his children back to their flat but returned to the park to collect his car.

“They were chanting and saying stuff about close the borders, save our children, and it was all directed at me,” he said.

Beg said he then decided to “confront them with part of that anti-racism Glasgow spirit”.

He filmed the protesters on his mobile phone but when police advised him that it might inflame the situation, he sat down on some children’s swings.

It was at this point that he was filmed by some of the demonstrators who then posted video online, where it was shared by Robinson to his two million followers.

In the footage people can be heard asking him “why are you filming kids?” and describing him as a “nonce”.
