A GLASGOW library was put on 'lockdown' by cops as Tommy Robinson tried to confront an MP.

Officers stood guard outside Pollokshaws Library while the former English Defence League leader filmed himself trying to confront the SNP’s Stewart McDonald.

It's understood those inside the library were made to stay inside for more than an hour.

The Nats MP was seen on video being escorted from the building by police as Robinson questioned him.

Robinson can be heard telling the MP “you lied about me in public”.

In another video, Robinson showed officers standing outside the building as he claimed members of the public were being denied entrance.

Mr McDonald holds his surgery at the library on the third Friday of every month.

It comes after the MP branded Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - a "racist thug and fraudster" in the House of Commons last year.

Mr McDonald also accused the EDL founder of "stirring up racial hatred".

The far-right protester posted a live video from the incident on his Facebook page.

He wrote: "Glasgow South MP Stewart Mcdonald stood and abused his parliamentary privilege. "He stated it is a fact that Tommy Robinson is guilty of inciting racial tensions.

"I have never been arrested, let alone convicted for any hate speech, incitement or racial charges.

"So for a respected member of parliament to lie so blatantly, which was then picked up by the media and spread across the world is beyond words.

"I'm fed up of these lies being spread about me so I decided to speak to him in an open meeting that he invites members of the public to ask him questions.

"Mr McDonald called the police and hid from me rather than asking questions. I was thankful for the many members of his constituency that showed us support."

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "Around 10.05am on Friday 18 January 2019, officers were asked to assist at Pollokshaws Library in Shawbridge Street, Glasgow.

"Officers attended, however, there were no issues on police arrival and general assistance was provided."
