Glasgow Dad Sues Tommy Robinson | Glasgow News

About this episode

Glasgow resident Quroum Beg is taking legal action against Tommy Robinson after being falsely called an “invader” and accused of filming children during a protest — when he was actually there with his own kids. The case, backed by a crowdfunding campaign that smashed its goal, will proceed under Scotland’s new defamation law requiring proof of serious reputational harm. Robinson initially apologized but later retracted it, blaming a staffer and calling Beg’s actions “pretty weird.” This isn’t Robinson’s first legal defeat — he’s already paid £100k to a Syrian schoolboy and served jail time for ignoring court orders. Beg says public support shows a collective stand against hate speech, and his team is ready to hold Robinson accountable for the damage done.

It's September 10th. From your city to your ears, this is Glasgow News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. So, a family in Scotland, a Lana MacCardel in Scott Douglas, they've really stepped up in a major way. They organized a massive group over 80 people calling themselves Abby's Army to participate in the Glasgow Kiltwalk. Their goal was to raise money for the Glasgow Children's Hospital charity, all in memory of their daughter, Abby, who was born in April of last year. But sadly passed away just eight days later due to a heart condition. This Kiltwalk event alone brought in over 20,000 pounds, but that's not the whole story. This effort adds to a previous fundraising total, bringing their overall donations to more than 35,000 pounds. They started this whole thing last year with a special online page set up in Abby's name, aiming to give her a lasting legacy. You know, it's incredibly tough when you lose a child, and Abby's parents describe her as perfect, just that her heart wasn't quite right.

They wanted to honor her memory and support the pediatric intensive care unit, or PICU, that cared for her. Even though it was an emotional time, they found it to be an uplifting experience, turning their grief into a powerful force for good. The charity itself, the Glasgow Children's Hospital charity, is really appreciative. Their chief executive mentioned how this fundraising effort creates a beautiful legacy for Abby. The money raised is crucial for supporting the young patients being treated at the Royal Hospital for Children. It's a testament to the impact one family's love can have. This is more than just a donation. It's a powerful statement about love, memory, and community support. Abby's army showed what can happen when people come together for a meaningful cause, turning a personal tragedy into a source of hope and vital. Resources for others.
