Tommy Robinson made a trip to Glasgow tonight where he appeared to be confronted by a group of men in George Square.

The former English Defence League (EDL) leader, 35, posted from the city's George Square on Friday evening.

Tweets appeared earlier in the evening saying that Robinson was in the nearby Counting House Wetherspoons.

Robinson, real name Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon then shared a video of an interaction between him and a group of men in balaclavas outside the pub on Facebook - which gathered over 100,000 views in less than an hour.

He claimed that the balaclava-clad men were part of anti-fascist militant group Antifa.

He captioned it: "When Antifa turn up and think their balaclavas will intimidate you".

In the footage, Robinson can be seen laughing at the men who appear to have turned up to confront him.

He can be heard saying: "This is the s*****t firm I have ever seen. S**t mob."

The far-right activist is then seen asking the unidentified men to hit him.

He continued: "He's turned up with a balaclava on, you've all got balaclavas on. W*****s".

Reports surfacing on social media appear to suggest that Robinson was in town with the co-founder of the EDL Kevin Carroll.

It's also thought that the pair, along with his followers, left in two taxis following the confrontation.

Earlier this week we told how the former EDL leader sparked controversy by posing with pictures of soldiers in the British Army.

He posted a video of himself on Monday with a crowd of Army personnel who started cheering and shouting his name.

At the time, a spokesperson for the force said: "Far right ideology is completely at odds with the values and ethos of the Armed Forces.

"The Armed Forces have robust measures in place to ensure those exhibiting extremist views are neither tolerated nor permitted to serve."
