Tommy Robinson out on bail.

He can't be much of an 'Enemy of The State' if he got bail.

The judge(s) decided that his case needs looking at again. I'm no fan of his, but I don't think innocent folk should be in prison.

 

Five hours between being arrested and convicted seems a bit rum to me.

I don't think he mentioned pearls, did he???

The court of appeal, led by the Lord Chief Justice himself, ruled that Tommy’s conviction of contempt of court, back in May in Leeds, was legally improper.

I have now had a chance to go through the court’s detailed reasons. They are stunning. It is an absolute vindication of Tommy — and a devastating rebuke to the injustices he has suffered!

The court found that:

* Tommy should not have been put on trial that same day
* Tommy’s lawyer did not have proper time to prepare his case
* the judge in Leeds never clearly presented what Tommy had allegedly done wrong
* the judge did not watch the entire video of Tommy, that supposedly was proof of his contempt
* the judge did not follow the criminal procedure rules
* the sentence was disproportionate; and
* Tommy’s treatment in prison was inappropriate

It was staggering. Everything Tommy has ever said about the system being unfairly rigged against him was proved true — by no-one less than the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales!

The court said the entire Leeds contempt hearing has to be done again — but it’s not certain that the Attorney General will even choose to do that, given how badly they’ve been trounced today.

I will continue to file reports about this at www.TommyTrial.com, and I expect to interview Tommy himself later today or tomorrow — obviously I want to let him reconnect with his family, first.

But let me thank you for your support — I’m so proud that our Rebel viewers crowdfunded Tommy’s legal fees. This victory today is in part due to you!

Tommy is free today.

And the rest of us are all a little bit freer too.

Nope, but don't listen to what I say, listen to how I speak. I probably don't do myself any favours there.

 

I'm disappointed in you Steve.

I would bang the s**t out of that. If I was a "banging the s**t out of" kinda guy.

 

These days I'm more "casual movement for an undefined period, followed by 45 seconds of vigorousness"

 

Doesn't have the same ring to it....
