Far right fundamentalists shared false information on social media
Videos shared online are now being assessed by counter-terrorism officers. Social Media and far right fundamentalist Tommy Robinson started speculation and rumours immediately on social media, sharing that this was a Muslim who wanted to blow up the president.
These were proved to be false by counter terrorism police and teh activists deleted the tweet.
The man is due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court today.
An easyJet spokesperson previously said: “Flight EZY609 from Luton to Glasgow yesterday was met by police on arrival in Glasgow, where they boarded the aircraft and removed a passenger due to their behaviour on board.
“EasyJet’s crew are trained to assess all situations and act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other customers is not compromised at any time.
