EZRA LEVANT | Tommy Robinson faces prosecution for daring to go into London

Tommy Robinson’s UK trial reveals police fabricating evidence—editing a dispersal order and admitting procedural lies—to justify his arrest by 24 officers in April 2023, despite his journalist exemption, while his home faced drone surveillance by nine men in Muslim attire. Parallels emerge with Canadian reporter David Menzies’ three arrests in 2024 for covering protests, including pro-Hamas rallies where genocidal chants like "October 7th is proof that we are almost free" blocked Jewish students at Harvard, Yale, and MIT. Courts may dismiss the case after today’s legal challenges, but Robinson’s ordeal exposes systemic censorship, police overreach, and institutional failures to protect free speech—highlighting how "woke" Westerners and "fascist Islamists" now collude to silence dissent, demanding immigration halts as a countermeasure.

Tommy Robinson Trial Update 00:03:54
Hello, my friends.
Today, my colleague, Sheila Gunnreid, is in the UK covering the trial of Tommy Robinson, who's being prosecuted for daring to go into London.
He's being exiled from the city of London.
I know that might sound really weird and medieval, but it's the truth.
We'll have reports from on the scene, as well as my thoughts of some crazy anti-Semitic near riots in America over the weekend.
But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.
That's the video version of this podcast.
Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe.
It's eight bucks a month.
You get all the video stuff and the satisfaction of helping Rebel News because we take no money from Trudeau and it shows.
All right, here's today's podcast.
Tonight, anti-Semitic rallies take over the streets and leading universities.
And Jews and skeptical journalists are the ones being banned.
It's April 22nd, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you sensorious bug.
So much has been going on over the weekend, I...
I feel like a whole month has happened.
A lot going on today.
Today, our friend Sheila Gunnreed is in London, England.
She's covering the trial of Tommy Robinson.
Very interesting trial.
We'll have her video presentation later on in the show.
I really love going over there to live tweet these things myself.
It's a Jewish holiday of Passover tonight, so I'm going to spend it with my family.
Sheila's going over there in my place.
I'm grateful to her.
She's an excellent court reporter.
She's very fast at live tweeting the action, and she's got a good understanding of the legal process.
So I've been watching some of her tweets throughout the day.
By the way, you can follow them all at TommyTrial.com.
In a nutshell, Tommy Robinson went to attend a march against anti-Semitism as in a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish march a few months back in London.
And I was there too, you might recall.
It was actually a complete coincidence that I bumped into him there.
I guess I should have known he'd be there.
I went into a coffee shop to stay warm because I got there a little early, and there he was having breakfast.
So I watched the police try to extract him from that cafe and then arrest him, 24 officers to arrest him.
What was his crime?
Nothing.
One of the left-wing organizers of that march didn't like Tommy and told police he caused him distress.
His mere presence was stressful.
So they arrested Tommy.
He argued, but he complied.
They handcuffed him.
Then they pepper sprayed him.
Anyhow, completely outrageous, he's been banned from entering into London ever since.
It's been almost six months.
And the trial is going on today.
Very interesting things that Sheila's finding.
We'll show you her videos later.
I wish I could be there, but I wanted to explain to you what's going on.
So there's a lot cooking there, including whose streets are they and who gets canceled and who doesn't.
It's very interesting and very depressing, too.
So Tommy Robinson is arrested in the UK merely for appearing and causing someone stress.
That sounds a lot like how our reporter David Menzies has been repeatedly arrested three times so far in 2024, not for doing anything, but for causing someone some stress or something.
As you know, he was arrested twice simply going to, well, the first time it was a pro-Hamas protest.
Actually, that was the third time.
Swear Fights and Arrests 00:03:16
The second time it was going to a Israel protest that some mosque counter-protesters went to.
In both cases, police simply refused to let David do his job.
They arrested him, claiming that he was a troublemaker.
Of course, the first instance I'm referring to is when David Menzies simply asked Christy Freeland some questions about Islamic extremism and the police arrested him.
So it's happened to our guy, David Menzies, on this side of the Atlantic.
It's happening to Tommy Robinson on that side of the Atlantic, and both have the same thing in common: police taking out the peaceful, law-abiding troublemaker.
Trouble in that he might cause other people to get a little bit stroppy, as the Brits would say.
Tommy Robinson, of course, with no threat to anyone and a friend of the Jews, but the left doesn't like him.
Anyway, that's what Sheila's up to.
But let me come right back to our own country and let's start with my own city.
The weekly professional protest in Toronto, which in Toronto, there being about 200,000 Jews in the city, you're going to see some Jewish things.
A Jewish synagogue here, a Jewish school there, a Jewish daycare, and a Jewish restaurant called Aroma, which is actually an Israeli-based chain.
It's sort of like a healthier Starbucks.
And when the protesters went by this aroma, so it's basically a Jewish kind of food, but really it's more like fancy cafe food.
But because it started in Israel, even though it's got nothing to do with the government, nothing to do with the war, nothing to do with politics, these Palestinian protesters, who are really anti-Semitic protesters, let's not mess around, they can't restrain themselves.
They swear at the people inside.
They shout obscene things.
They put racist stickers on the window.
Take a look at that.
What does it tell you when you literally flip the bird and swear at people just because they're having coffee in a Jewish restaurant?
You're not for Gaza.
You couldn't even find it on a map.
You just hate Jews and you're amazed what you're allowed to get away with.
Week after week, I mean, flipping the bird is the least of it.
The violence, the smashing the windows.
Racist Reactions on Campus 00:14:59
I don't know if you saw this a few days ago.
Windows smashed at a Jewish synagogue and no one gives a damn anymore because it's a daily occurrence.
That's nothing compared to Ottawa.
Listen to some of these absolutely insane genocidal chants.
Take a look.
October 7th is proof that we are almost free.
Come with the resistance.
Martini Legaza.
And what's the response to it?
Oh, on Twitter, some people tut-tut, but not a damn thing.
The truckers were thrown in jail.
Police came out with riot horses.
The country was put under martial law for a few days of hornhonking and some parking infractions.
Here you have death threats, calls for genocide.
What has been going on for six months now?
And all Justin Trudeau can say is, hey, that's democracy, really.
But what's happened in Canada is nothing to what happened compared to what happened over the weekend in the United States.
Some of the finest schools in America, obviously Harvard, we know a lot about that.
Yale, Columbia in New York City, MIT, perhaps the most prestigious university in America.
Just what happened here is so astonishing.
Not just the pro-Gaza and anti-Israel commentary, not just the anti-Semitic commentary, but in two instances, someone who was visibly Jewish, he had a beard and he had a black hat, a kind of, you know, most Jews are not visibly identifiable by how they wear their hair or their attire.
They look sort of regular.
But when there's very conspicuous Jews, these protesters blocked them from campus.
These are not Israelis.
These are not soldiers.
These are Americans who were literally blocked on several campuses.
Take a look at this instance.
Do you see what you guys are doing to us?
We are going to record a hostile.
Walk and take a step forward.
I absolutely feel right so that we can start to push them out of the camp.
Out of the camp.
One step forward.
One step forward.
Another step forward.
Another step forward.
We ask that you please respect our privacy and our community guidelines and our community guidelines.
Which you have so far disrespected.
Which you have so far disrespected.
And leave our camp.
And leave our camp.
One step forward.
One step forward.
You know, that reminds me of this image from Vienna in the 1930s, where Nazis would literally have a human chain blocking Jews from going into university in Vienna, which was probably one of the leading cities of, which was one of the leading cities in Europe, the most intellectual, the most cultural.
Well, a bunch of Nazi brownshirts just thought they would block the entry, and the cops did nothing, and the politicians did nothing.
And it wasn't about convincing people.
It was about showing what the new normal is.
Columbia, which by the way, costs almost $100,000 a year Canadian funds.
Like it's one of the most expensive universities in America.
These are not oppressed people there.
These are the richest, most pampered, privileged kids in America.
They turned the campus into a kind of shanty town there.
A people's university, we're going to take a people's university.
sister your parents paid a hundred grand a year for you to be there um and and they set up this shanty town and they threatened any jew who would try to pass and um incredibly the unit today just actually today the president of the university said basically the thugs win they're shutting down the entire campus today There may be some classes live streamed on Zoom.
Is that what you paid your hundred grand a year for?
And the university will negotiate with the anti-Semites outside.
That's actually what the university president published today.
And one Israeli professor who's Jewish as well said, well, I would like to go in to the university.
And the police blocked him.
The police blocked the Jewish-Israeli professor, but they are having negotiations with the haters.
Take a look at this Israeli trying to get in.
Card has been deactivated?
Why?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Everybody, my card has been deactivated.
This is Cass Holloway, the COO.
This is Gerald Lewis.
They were in the meeting where I asked them if Hamas is a terror organization and they couldn't say that it is a terrorist organization.
Why?
I'm a professor.
Shaire.
Yay!
No, no, no.
Speak out loud.
So the media.
Shai, we are willing to take you to the math lawn.
No, I am a professor here.
Everybody, quiet.
I am a professor here.
I have every right to be everywhere on campus.
You cannot let people that support Hamas on campus and me, a professor, not go on campus.
Let me in now.
Let us in.
No.
No.
I mean, Columbia is amongst the most insane, but students at Yale, I mean, it's just as crazy over there.
Here's Yale preventing a student, a Jewish student, from entering.
I mean, they're not even pretending.
I mentioned the Vienna example, but I think another example from slightly more recent history is in the 50s and 60s when schools were integrated by race.
And black students in the South wanted to go to schools alongside the white students.
And there were racist reactions to that.
And so the U.S. military literally sent armed soldiers with army helmets on to escort those little black boys and girls into the school.
And I think that's the way to think about this.
Stop talking about Jews and Palestinians for a second.
Imagine if you were talking about blacks and whites, if you had the KKK burning crosses on the lawn and linking arms to stop any kid who looked black or even half black or even quarter black from going in.
I mean, that's the kind of racism that the KKK might use.
But how is that any different from what the anti-Israel protesters are doing now?
You would bring in riot squads.
You would bring in fire hoses if there were physical violence, if they were physically attacking Jews, if they were physically blocking Jews from getting into campus.
But in this case, no, they're actually shutting down Columbia and negotiating with the protesters, many of whom, by the way, are not even American.
Although, look at this clip from Yale.
These are definitely born in America Americans.
Who taught them to burn the American flag?
I find that absolutely stunning.
Who taught them that?
I mean, we've seen that sort of thing in Toronto, too.
When David Menzies and our cameraman Lincoln Jay go to cover some of these anti-Israel protests, the Palestinian side physically attack them.
Sometimes, with the assistance of Antifa, they sort of block things.
They put up umbrellas as one of their moves.
And they punch and they kick and they steal a cell phone and they do something sort of low-grade.
That happened over the weekend as well.
In this one case, take a look, someone getting hit in the eye with a flagpole.
Okay, so now there's a full wall.
We will not stop.
We will not press this wall.
We will not stop.
We will not rest his clothes.
Die rests.
Yeah, I can't move forward from we will not race this clothes.
We will not rest this clothes.
Die best.
If you're having trouble figuring out what's right and wrong here, swap in any other ethnicity or characteristic.
If these were gay kids being attacked by Homo folks, I don't know if such a thing has ever happened in the last 50 years.
Maybe it has.
Or think about the Charlottesville tiki torch people.
How is this any different than that?
And that was the target of national excoriation for weeks.
I think it's incredible because I know that a lot of these universities, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, MIT, were forever liberal bastions.
They were the progressive folks.
They were the anti-racism folks, the diversity, equity, and inclusion folks.
They were the liberals, the good guys.
Most of all, they said they were anti-racist, but they weren't.
I think it was all a lie.
It was a cover to be the most racist people in the world.
They said they're progressive.
They're the most reactionary people in the world.
They said they're for peace and love.
They're the most violent people in the world.
They said for open-mindedness.
They're the most closed-minded in the world.
And I don't know what to do about them.
I mean, who would possibly send their children to Columbia, spend $100,000 a year Canadian money for that kind of an education?
First of all, they're not even getting into the classes.
And second of all, that harassing gauntlet they have to walk through, including many foreign students.
I think we have a bit of that problem in Canada too.
If you listen and look at the bulk of the most vicious protesters in Canada, they're not Canadian.
They're in many cases here on a student visa or some other temporary privilege we've granted them.
And instead of doing what they claimed they would come here to do, study, work, whatever, they're actually fomenting hatred.
And I think Canadian citizens in Canada and American citizens in the U.S. have certain rights to be odious and offensive.
I believe in freedom of speech, but I believe freedom of speech in Canada for Canadians.
If you just got off a plane from some country where they hate Jews and you're not a Canadian and you go to a protest and you attack a Jew or punch a Jew or vandalize a Jewish restaurant or any other race, I don't believe that you have the right to a full hearing in your section to be freedom of speech.
No, you are a foreigner who came here as our guest.
Get the hell out.
And I'm not sure what's going to happen because I think that so many of our institutions are so totally corroded.
Some of these universities used to be very Jewish, by the way, MIT, Yale, Harvard, Columbia especially.
What Jew would send their kids to such an anti-Semitic hotspot?
I don't even think they could.
The kids would be blocked by the gauntlet of anti-Semites around it.
That's Canada these days in the United States.
And as Sheila Gunnread's reporting from London, that's the UK too.
I think step one to solve the problem is to stop making it worse.
2.2 million newcomers to Canada last year.
That's far too many.
Don't take it from me.
As the poll I showed you last week showed most newcomers say stop with the immigration.
In fact, minority immigrants are more likely to say stop than white Canadians.
Just turn it off.
Net zero immigration until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
Net zero.
And I think, frankly, some of the 900,000 foreign students here should be sent home.
They're clearly not really here for an education, just a backdoor into immigration.
And I think we have to root out these racists from our institutions.
And I think I would say that, and I would hope I would say that, if it was anti-black racism, it just happens to be anti-Semitic racism this time around.
Well, stay with us.
I'm going to play for you several clips from our friend Sheila Gunn-Reed in London.
What we're going to hear today is that on multiple different accounts, their behavior and their actions have been unlawful.
There's no lawful basis for what they've done.
They acted against the law.
I was a victim of their aggression.
I hope that this doesn't even get past the halfway stage once the judge listens to the illegal behavior of the police officers that day.
Sheila Gunread for Rebel News and I'm here in London, all the way from Western Canada to cover the latest trial of citizen journalist and activist Tommy Robinson.
To find more about that, please go to tommytrial.com.
Now, Tommy, give us the brief explainer of what brings us here today.
I went out, I was having a breakfast in London.
I went to report on an anti-Semitism rally.
It was the biggest one the country's ever seen.
I don't get hostility from that crowd.
I get friendship from that crowd.
I'm a supporter of Israel.
I went there and I come under attack by the police.
The police come in and said I needed to leave London, leave the city.
I then wasn't given a chance to leave as I left the cafe.
I was manhandled and in the end I was assaulted.
I was pepper sprayed from point blank range whilst already handcuffed.
Why We Left London 00:14:05
And then that wasn't bad enough, but they decided that they were going to prosecute me.
So I've now been prosecuted.
I face prison today for disobeying their order.
So they want to live in a state where they can attack journalists, they can violently attack them and decide who can and can't report on which events.
They said that my presence may cause people alarm and distress.
My presence here may cause people alarm and distress.
I speak openly and honestly and unfortunately in the society we live in today people get terrified by other opinions.
So yeah, my presence may cause alarm and distress.
Not one person made a complaint about my behavior.
There was no complaint about my behavior at all.
I was there as a journalist.
I was there just with my cameraman as you've come here today.
I'd like to say thank you to Ezra.
I'd like to say thank you to yourself.
You've traveled a long way because we have a lie in media.
You will sit in court today.
I believe you're going to tweet what's happening.
So I'll share that message because you'll be able to tweet exactly what's being said.
What we're going to hear today is that on multiple different accounts, their behavior and their actions have been unlawful.
There's no lawful basis for what they've done.
They acted against the law.
I was a victim of their aggression.
And I hope with a fair justice system, which unfortunately I've not met that before, so I still like to try and have some faith.
I hope that this doesn't even get past the halfway stage once the judge listens to the illegal behavior of the police officers that day.
So how did you come on the radar of the police?
Because you're there minding your own business as a supporter of Israel.
How do you end up being basically attacked by the police?
When we read their statements, I was spotted, at which point I was spotted.
had decided to give me a section 35 dispersal order which means I need to disperse of the area.
What they don't point out is that the next section of that says that they can't give someone a dispersal order if they're there for if they're employed to be there.
So if you're a journalist and my job is to go and report on these demonstrations then they can't legally give me one anyway.
It turns out that the officer that authorised the order doesn't have authorization to authorise the order.
It also turns out that where I was standing wasn't inside their exclusion zone of where they can give the order.
There's a lot that's turned out when I've sat down with my legal team that it's a mockery of justice.
It's a mockery of the, we don't want to, I don't want to live in a police state.
I know I do.
So I've made all of this as part of a film which I'm releasing.
It's going to be released on the 1st of June.
It's called Lawfare, a totalitarian state, because people may think we have freedom of speech.
They may think we have freedom of the press.
We don't.
And I'm a living example of that, but people will be able to see that in the film I'm creating.
How does it even happen that you become banned from an entire district?
See, I've been banned for six months from inside the M25.
Do you know how many different boroughs that covers?
Do you know how many different areas that is?
So I've been banned for six months.
I've been arrested on my daughter's birthday for taking her to a restaurant and going to watch a football match.
I've not been able to meet.
I have to ask a Muslim police officer for permission to come into this capital city.
I asked him to meet Andrew Bridgen as a journalist.
You'll see this on the documentary.
I come to interview a member of parliament and I was refused.
They have decided whether I can work or not work, who I can meet and who I can't meet.
If I wanted to meet, say I wanted to meet a source of journalism today.
If I said I was meeting you last week and I want to meet you in London, I have to give your name, your phone number, the location of the meet.
They then contact you.
The police do.
It's the police state.
And then they've refused me each time.
For anything to do with journalism, I've been refused.
That's communism.
It's like, it's insane.
But the problem is, the majority of the British public don't know what's happening.
What I'm going to show people with my new film is that what you're witnessing today and what you've witnessed with this case has happened to me for 15 years.
This isn't a one-off.
There's not one period of the last 15 years since my activism that I haven't faced prison, custody or these absurd conditions that limit my freedoms and my journalism.
But also the people around you get sucked into the police state too.
So if you met with me, you'd have to turn my information over so now I'm monitored by the police state.
They want to know who I'm meeting, where I'm meeting.
They contact you.
So they contacted Andrew Bridgen's PA and said, and we interview him on the documentary.
They contacted him and said, well, what's going on?
He said, well, it's a meeting.
We've got a hired venue.
And Tommy's coming as a journalist to cover the event.
No, he's not.
No, he's not.
And the decision was made by PC Shah.
Insane.
So today, as I said, I still find it insane that the whole world watched that video and viral worldwide.
They saw me eating a breakfast, come under attack, and I'm facing prison today.
The police officer who peppersprayed me should be facing prison.
Someone should be held to account for what they've done, but it's me that they want to prosecute and sent to prison.
I just find it mad.
So we're going to go into the court today.
What are you expecting out of the court?
My legal team are saying that this shouldn't get past half way.
My legal team said that it's illegal what they've done on multiple occasions.
Usually there's one point to argue.
We've got five that mean this has been unlawful action by the police.
But there's no jury.
I've never had a jury.
Every conviction I've ever been convicted of is by a judge, an appointed judge.
I've never ever had a jury.
So I don't have much faith.
I hope it's not before Justice Snow, the judge, because he's the man who decided for the last six months based on no evidence that I've been banned from my capital city.
Hamas supporters are not banned from this city.
People calling in for jihad on the streets are not banned from this city.
I've been banned for six months.
Six months I've not been allowed to enter my capital city for no crime.
Now there's a bit of a side story here too in that your home address was revealed in open court.
Very dangerous for you.
There is a current counter-terrorism investigation from the last 48 hours where three properties were targeted with drones by nine men of Muslim attire at those properties.
And that comes about because these judges wish to, we're going to have the argument now when we get into court.
They're going to try and make me give an address.
They're going to try and do that today.
So we'll see if we win that legal argument, but I'm not going to give an address anyway because I'm not going to endanger.
Last night, at 11 o'clock last night, I had to move an innocent woman and her children out of the house because an address was given as mine, which is not where I live.
There's an innocent family in that address and people targeted that address for the last two days.
So again, whether the judge listens to the fact that how can it be about justice to tell people where I live or my family live when they know I'm under threat.
The police and government give me 12 Osmond warnings, that's 12 official warnings to say they believe there's intentions to kill me and yet they want me to read out addresses in court in open court.
And journalists have argued that we want to hear his address in open court.
I said I'll write my address down for the judge and I'll give you it, if that's what this is about.
But that's not what this is about.
It's about purposely endangering families, purposely endangering me, to put as much pressure as they can on me.
But we'll see what happens now.
Sheila Gunread for Rebel News and I just came out of the Westminster Magistrates Court.
You see, I'm here covering the latest trial of Tommy Robinson, the citizen journalist and activist.
To find out more about why I'm here, go to tommytrial.com.
I'll give you the brief version though.
Tommy was arrested November 26th as a working journalist on his way to cover a protest against anti-Semitism in London.
You see, his presence there might make people anxious, so the police acted with a dispersal order, which resulted in the arrest of Tommy and then him being pepper sprayed and then banned from Greater London.
This was the Metropolitan Police Force yesterday.
The right of the press to freely report and protest is no less important than the rights of the protest itself.
They should be able to do so without facing intimidation and aggression, officer.
Officers spoke with a journalist in her team following the incident.
I'm a member of the press.
I'm at work.
Is anyone here caused alarm and distress by my presence here?
Ladies, everyone's Jewish here.
There's no one who's causing alarm and distress.
No one has come up to you and said anything about me.
You are working under the orders of Sadiq Khan and Mark Rowley.
Mark Rowley is an apologist for Hamas.
They're apologists for jihad.
And the British public are fed up of your hated leasing.
It was a crazy day of testimony today.
In fact, I think it was a pretty embarrassing day for the Metropolitan Police.
I caught Tommy as he walked out of court.
Take a listen to this interview.
Tommy, I want to ask you, police officers were, I mean, the insinuation is that they were fabricating evidence today against you and then chalking it up to a disability.
That's a new one, even for me to hear.
They admitted it.
He actually stood in court and admitted that they, because what it was, the order that they had from the 25th to disperse people and the order on the 26th was from 2 p.m.
Yeah?
And then when they arrested me, they obviously realised we've arrested him at one o'clock.
The order doesn't come in till two o'clock.
So he says he then went in later and edited it and changed it till 10 in the morning.
It's like, no, mate, you didn't have a lawful order.
You didn't have a lawful order.
You decided to edit and falsify evidence, which you've admitted.
He admitted that he hadn't read the Home Office guidance.
But in his statement, he quoted the Home Office guidance.
So when asked, well, if you haven't read it, where did you get it from?
He said, well, the senior officer had copied and pasted it into my statement.
It's like, are you f ⁇ ing for real?
This bloke is a, he's a senior ranking police officer.
No wonder there's so much of a mess in our country, especially with criminality and crime.
If that gentleman there is a senior officer in charge, I wouldn't leave him in charge of my pet, let alone charge of a group of police officers.
I did appreciate his honesty after the fact though because he said well I'm not even sure if the order I drafted is valid.
Yeah no they asked him well can we be confident that there was a lawful order?
He said no.
No.
He said no.
And then he said what was his word?
Operational learning.
That's what I'm saying operational learning.
No, it's not a my office.
If you're that police officer It's not operational learning.
You nicked me in front of everyone.
You pepper sprayed me from point blank range.
You arrested me in front of my kids on my daughter's birthday.
You've took away my rights for six months.
You've limited my freedom.
You've invaded my privacy and the people I've had to meet.
Anyone I've met for the last six months, I have to give the police their phone numbers.
They then ring them.
It's like, are we in China?
Like they moan about China, they moan about Russia, and then they pretend we have all this freedom, which we don't have anyway.
We are a totalitarian state.
They have us under total lockdown and control.
Just people believe this bullshit that we have got it.
You try exercising it anyway and challenge any government narrative.
Any one of them, yeah?
They come down you like a ton of bricks from every angle.
I'm just here to do my job.
That's my cameraman.
I'm at work.
Do you think a member of the press should be arrested for doing their job?
No.
I'm glad the journalists are saying that.
So, Stephen, this is your...
If you're only journalist...
Stephen, you're listening.
This issue dispersal notice.
You cannot to leave the place.
Are you going to take this off me or not?
Officer, you're embarrassing too.
You're embarrassing people.
It's an embarrassment to the face.
And that's what they've done against me.
But we're going to get a win tomorrow.
And even if we don't get a win tomorrow, we're still winning.
We're awakening the public.
More people are awake to their lies than ever.
No one trusts the media, which brings a big smile to my face, yeah, like these stupid journalists.
What's my alleged offence?
I'm bored now.
You're bored.
What a great journalist.
This is the problem.
What is my alleged offence?
You don't know, do you?
Your alleged offence.
Are you getting up with me?
He's charged with refusing to leave an anti-Semitism protest in London.
She still thought she had the power with a camera.
Nah, nah, nah.
She still didn't realise.
I'm looking at her thinking you're going to go viral, yeah?
Look, this is the attitude of so-called...
She thinks she takes some old high ground as a journalist, yeah?
She's done in the middle of the day.
All the journalists ask questions and you answer.
And I'm a journalist, that's why I'm asking you questions, Darling.
Are you going to wait out here to apologise when it gets proven this was all unlawful?
Oh, I've been looking forward to watching.
So I was surprised, actually, that the hearing went beyond the testimony of that officer.
But then, regardless of that, whether or not the order was valid, the exemption to the order is work.
And you were seen repeatedly in the video saying, I'm at work, I'm the journalist.
And yet they proceeded with the dispersal order.
And the police officer said, I don't know if he said that.
It's what I was saying.
I was saying it the whole time, which is why they cut all the videos off.
They've cut the videos off that show them attacking me, being violent with me, so then they can lie in their statements and say I was aggressive, which I wasn't.
But yeah, the exemption, which I knew the exemption before I went, which is why I kept saying, no, I'm at work.
I'd read it before I went.
I read the police made a statement the day before about the importance of journalism, the importance of freedom of the press, and then they come and done that.
So because they still think that they think in today's digital world that they still have control, because the media had total control for decades and decades and decades because we didn't have social media, we didn't have the internet.
They could tell everyone how to think about and who to think it about.
That went with social media.
Then they brought in censorship to destroy us all so then they could censor us.
Elon Musk has given us back our voice.
So this Sky News reporter, I wouldn't have been able to humiliate Earth today without X, without my social media platform.
That she would have been able to put together her story.
All the mainstream would have been able to put together their lies because usually all of these citizen journalists would have still been censored.
Everyone's demonetised, who's here probably on YouTube.
Everyone's silenced, can't talk about vaccine, can't talk about this.
But on X, we have freedom of speech.
So it's great to have a platform where we can share the truth and we can embarrass them.
And tomorrow that's what we're going to come here and do on St. George's Day.
I am a journalist.
Unfortunately for you, I'm a far better journalist than people like yourself, and I have more trust in people like yourself.
Most journalists don't have criminal convictions, though.
I've never been tried by a jury.
Well, you're about to be.
No, you're about to be.
You're about to have a trial.
If you knew your facts, there's no jury waiting.
But it is a trial.
Yeah, by an appointed judge.
So that's what Tommy had to say.
I think he's hopeful.
I'm hopeful too.
I've done a lot of court reporting in my day, and based on the questions that the judge was asking the Crown at the end of the day about documentation, I think things are going to go Tommy's way tomorrow.
However, this is the legal system here in the United Kingdom, and it has not been kind to Tommy Robinson.
But either way, we'll be back in court tomorrow morning at 10.30 to find out if the case will be dismissed.
Tommy's Trial Outcome 00:02:39
If you want to find out about what happened in court today, you can follow along with my tweets at SheilaGunread or go to tommytrial.com for Rebel News here in Westminster.
I'm Sheila Gunread.
Well, I'm so glad Sheila was over there in my place.
I really enjoy seeing that world because I feel like it's a time machine.
When I go to London and see the prosecution of Tommy Robinson and see the extremism on the streets and how the Hamas hate marches are out of control, that's Canada in like five years because they're just five years further down the road of Islamification and wokeification and police partisanship than we are.
So I'm glad Sheila was over them.
You know, I sort of threw things together in a bit of a jumble today.
I talked about Tommy Robinson's case and I talked about what's going on in Canada, what's going on in the U.S.
And maybe they're not all tightly connected, but I sort of think they are.
I think in all three cases, it's foreign ideas about liberty and justice and policing being injected into the West.
And I think that we're giving up centuries of our legal and political and philosophical traditions to, frankly, people who want to bring a more barbaric way of thinking to our societies.
I think we've had different ethnic groups in Canada forever.
And part of the deal is come here and leave behind ancient hatreds.
And if you have some disagreements, work it out in a democratic system.
And, you know, we have a pluralism here and no one's superior to anyone else.
We have nonviolent solutions to problems.
And we have a separation of church and state, separation of mosque and state.
We have had all that here for a long time and it's worked.
But I think you've seen lately the alliance between fascist Islamists and woke Westerners who've hated America and Canada for their own reasons.
And it's a terrible combination.
It's given them the keys to the universities and the keys to other institutions.
I'm worried it may be too late to stop it, but we've got to try.
It probably is too late to stop it in the UK, but I think we've got to fight it here at home.
And step one for me is turning off immigration.
I can't think of a more pressing political problem than open borders immigration.
You tell me what you think.
That's our show for today.
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.
Good night.
