Quoroum Beg

Tommy Robinson has admitted he "got it wrong" after falsely accusing a Glasgow man of filming children in a park, but the correction has done little to ease fears over the real-world consequences of misinformation spreading online. The incident has reignited concerns over inflammatory social media posts, rising anti-immigration tensions and the safety of those caught in the crossfire.

False Accusation Sparks Fallout

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, shared footage of Quoroum Beg on X, branding the UK-born father an "invader" and suggesting he had been filming children. The video reached Robinson's two million followers before he later deleted the post and admitted: "In this instance I got it wrong, as did many others."

Beg said the statement fell well short of an apology, questioning whether Robinson was acknowledging the damage caused or simply correcting the facts. He now fears for his safety and has been given an emergency police contact number.

Family Forced to Flee Protest

Beg had been in Glasgow's Gorbals with his three children when an anti-immigration demonstration entered the area. As crowds carrying banners gathered, families began leaving the park amid growing tension.

After taking his children home, Beg returned to collect his car and filmed the protest before moving away on police advice. Demonstrators then recorded him, accusing him of filming children and calling him a "nonce" before the footage spread online.

Online Misinformation Meets Street Tensions

Beg said the false allegation had damaged his reputation worldwide and left him fearful of becoming a target. He said the current political climate meant he no longer felt safe allowing his children to enjoy their summer holidays outdoors.

The case comes as Glasgow has experienced a series of anti-immigration demonstrations, including incidents fuelled by false claims circulating online. Police have already linked one attack on a house to mistaken identity after misinformation spread across social media.

Scotland Faces Growing Extremist Challenge

Researchers say Scotland's far-right movement is becoming increasingly organised, combining local grievances with highly active online networks. Politics lecturer Dr Judith Sijsterman said some activists now travel across the country to demonstrations while coordinating campaigns through multiple online groups, helping amplify tensions far beyond individual protests.

A bit worrying. As an amateur street photographer I take pictures of people, including children, in the streets and parks. If this guy is going to call it out, should I give up photography? For goodness sake, has everyone gone mad?

Ok,Tommy got it wrong but at least he is highlighting what really goes on in city parks and why now women and kids don’t feel safe in those once safe environments .Like lots of places they are now no-go areas because of unvetted foreign men.

He is not foreign, he is a Glaswegian as much as any who live in the city.

Well I do deal with enough of them around here, many making personal attacks without any attempt to address the topic of discussion.

I guess that depends on what you intend to do with the photos but as a rule of thumb, imo unless you are covering an event, if your intention is to photograph an individual(s) - rather than just capture them on camera by chance - then you should ask their permission.

At least he admitted his mistake.

More than you can say for some Presidents!

Assuming you are white, Tommy won't be interested in your activities.

Yes sir ,

Any more orders ?

This guy is a VERY RELIABLE information source.

He went to high school.

He beat up an off duty cop in a drunken argument.

And he was a football hooligan.

That's good enough for me. Anything he says must be true.

Where's my pitchfork 🔱
