SCOTTISH FAR-RIGHT PARTY LEADER CHARGED AFTER PAEDOPHILE HUNTER STING
A FAR-RIGHT party leader has been charged with “indecent online communications” after police were called to a confrontation involving a group of paedophile hunters.In a video shared on social media, a crowd can be seen gathering outside the Braes Shopping Centre in Castlemilk as a man is confronted by Scotland’s Child Protection Team Against Sexual Abuse.
The man, who believed he was about to meet a 13-year-old, is wearing the uniform of the Glasgow Nomads swim club and holding a book entitled A Treasury of Love Poems, The Herald reports.
In the footage, the man admitted to the hunters that he had sent explicit pictures and asked for sexual images.
Police Scotland announced that Charles Baillie was the British National Party’s candidate in the 2009 Glasgow North East by-election.
He came fourth, receiving just over 1,000 votes, and was expelled later for plotting against then leader Nick Griffin.
Baillie claimed that white people needed a party to represent their views, while Griffin sought to amend the BNP’s constitution to comply with anti-discrimination laws.
Baillie then formed the Britannica Party, which stood four candidates in the 2012 Glasgow City Council election and supported a No vote in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum.
Baillie’s LinkedIn still lists him as leader of the Britannica Party.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 74-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with indecent online communications.
Officers were called to a shopping arcade in Castlemilk around 4.30 pm on September 5, 2025, where a crowd had gathered.
The 74-year-old has been released on an undertaking and will appear at court at a later date.
