Gangland enforcers Tamo Junto fire 'accept no imitation' warning as they vow to hound imposters
The gang, also known as TMJ, has claimed responsibility for a number of firebombings and other incidents across the country.
The faceless crime group behind Scotland's raging gang war has fired a chilling final warning - saying they will "relentlessly" pursue the copycats passing themselves off as members of their crime syndicate.
Tamo Junto has claimed responsibility over a number of incidents in recent months, as firebombings, shootings and knife attacks have taken place in and around Scotland's biggest cities.
The group, also known as TMJ, serve as the footsoldiers for former Union Bears Capo-turned gang boss Ross "Miami" McGill, who holed up in a Dubai bolthole after leaving Scotland.
And in a final video released today, the gang has warned the mystery figures behind a social media account bearing their name that they too will be targeted.
The threats came in a 15-second video sent to the Daily Record. The clip features white text on a black background and ends with the TMJ logo against a camouflaged backdrop.
The video brands the tmjdoesitbest TikTok account a "Fake Page". The account had posted a number of videos in recent days, naming a so-called rival and alleging attacks were imminent.
But the group defiantly said: "As we have stated previously TMJ do not have any social media accounts. We've never been on TikTok, Instagram or any of these platforms and never will be.
"Social media is for snitches as we've seen over the last few months from The Gremlins and their associates. Anyone we find creating any accounts under our name will be targeted.

Operation Portaledge for many years to come. This is the final video we will be releasing.

Glastonbury says chants by Bob Vylan ‘crossed the line' as police assess footage
Glastonbury Festival has said chants by punk duo Bob Vylan have 'crossed a line', as footage from their set is assessed by the police. The performer Bobby Vylan led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'Death, death to the IDF' on Saturday, before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans 'start a riot' at his bandmate's forthcoming court appearance. A joint Instagram post from Glastonbury and Emily Eavis said: 'As a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism. 'We will always believe in – and actively campaign for – hope, unity, peace and love. 'With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs. 'However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. 'Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' Health Secretary Wes Streeting said chants of 'death' to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at Glastonbury were 'appalling' and that the BBC and festival have 'questions to answer'. As police examine videos of their comments, Mr Streeting told Sky News' Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: 'I thought it's appalling, to be honest, and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens.' He said what people should be talking about in the context of Israel and Gaza is the humanitarian catastrophe and the fact that Israeli settlers attacked a Christian village this week. He added: 'The fact that we saw that chant at a music festival, when there were Israelis at a similar music festival who were kidnapped, murdered, raped, and in some cases still held captive, whether it's a Palestinian or an Israeli, whether it's a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, all life is precious. 'All life is sacred. And I find it pretty revolting we've got to a state in this conflict where you're supposed to sort of cheer on one side or the other like it's a football team.' Asked if the BBC should have cut the live feed, he said the broadcaster has questions to answer, but that he did not know what the editorial and operational 'challenges' are of taking such action. Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. On social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes 'grotesque', writing on X: 'Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked.' The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said it would be formally complaining to the BBC over its 'outrageous decision' to broadcast Bob Vylan. A spokesperson said: 'Our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions.' A BBC spokesperson added: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said. Bob Vylan, who formed in Ipswich in 2017, have released four albums with their music addressing issues to do with racism, masculinity and class. Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. The group performed after Vylan's set on the West Holts Stage with O hAnnaidh exclaiming 'Glastonbury, I'm a free man' as they took to the stage. In reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would 'start a riot outside the courts', before clarifying: 'No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine'. In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be 'appropriate'. During the performance, Caireallain said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.'

NATO warplanes scrambled as Russia shoots down West's F-16 fighter jet in Ukraine onslaught
More than 500 missiles were launched to down the supersonic fighter. Warplanes have been scrambled by NATO after Russia used hundreds of missiles to shoot down a Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet given to the country by the West. The soviet state launched more than 500 missiles at the supersonic fighter, resulting in the loss of a 'hero' pilot amid a desperate operation to counter the onslaught from Vladimir Putin's forces. Pilot Lt-Col Maksym Ustimenko, born in 1993, shot down seven air targets using all his weapons before he was hit. Poland's operational command announced that NATO fighters were scrambled because of the intensity of Russian onslaught on Ukraine. A statement said: "Due to the attack by the Russian Federation carrying out strikes on objects located in the territory of Ukraine, Polish and allied aviation has begun operating in our airspace." The Mirror reports it added: "The Operational Commander of the [armed forces] has activated all available forces and resources at his disposal. "The on-duty fighter pairs have been scrambled, and the ground-based air defence and radar reconnaissance systems have reached the highest state of readiness. "The steps taken are aimed at ensuring security in the areas bordering the threatened areas." The Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk was hit as apocalyptic footage showed a former oil refinery up in flames. The city was attacked simultaneously by Putin's forces with cruise missiles, Kinzhal - which translates as "Our Dagger" - hypersonic missiles, and Iranian-designed Shahed attack drones. It was the most powerful onslaught against the city since the start of the war. The attacks were across the country and amounted to one of the heaviest bombardments of the three year conflict. A missile strike on Zaporizhzhia left an industrial facility on fire. 'A production facility of one of the enterprises was damaged,' said Ivan Fedorov, head of the regional military administration. Mykolaiv and Donetsk region were also hit. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

The NATO defence moves comes after the Russians targeted Lviv in western Ukraine. Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said Russian forces attempted to strike critical infrastructure, but no civilians or residential buildings were affected. The Ukrainian air force said Russia had unleashed 537 missiles and drones including 477 Hashed drones. Four Kinzhal and seven Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles were fired at Ukraine. The blitzkrieg also included 41 Kh-101/Iskander-K cruise missiles. It comes after Russia issued a new threat against NATO after one of Britain's allies - and Russia's neighbour - said it was "ready" to host RAF warplanes that can carry tactical nuclear bombs. In the security defence review unveiled this week by Keir Starmer, it was announced the RAF will be equipped with twelve new F-35. A fifth-generation aircraft by 2030, which will be "available to fly NATO's nuclear mission in a crisis". Estonia's defence minister Hanno Pevkur said today that his country would "naturally" be prepared to host some of the jets - sparking a furious reaction from Vladimir Putin's spokesman, who was asked if that would be perceived as a threat to Moscow.
