00:00:00.000 Andrew Lawton here outside the Old Bailey in central London where I've come for one reason
00:00:09.620 and one reason alone and that is to tell the facts that are happening and what happened this
00:00:15.360 morning in court is the judge who actually runs the Old Bailey decided that he is going to refer
00:00:20.200 Tommy Robinson's contempt of court case to the Attorney General. This is what Tommy Robinson
00:00:25.240 wanted and more importantly it's what Tommy Robinson himself advocated in a statement he
00:00:30.780 published a statement that the judge said actually swayed his decision. Now this statement was written
00:00:36.300 against the advice of Tommy's former lawyers who he's now dismissed and it seems like it actually
00:00:41.760 got him the outcome he wanted but there are two stories with Tommy Robinson not only what's happened
00:00:47.140 in the justice system but also what's happened in his treatment in the press and I literally had a
00:00:52.460 front row seat to that in court sitting in front of a bunch of the mainstream media reporters that
00:00:57.180 have been covering the Tommy case and I wanted to read a couple of things that they said to one
00:01:01.200 another not realizing that I was actually committed to fairness. Ezra Levant needs to be arrested he's
00:01:09.280 whipped up hate. Another one about Tommy before the court case had even started and one reporter said
00:01:15.400 this quote he is in contempt of court there's not really any doubt and another moment the two reporters
00:01:22.720 were talking amongst each other discussing the numbers in the crowd here you can't see it but
00:01:27.460 behind me there were when Tommy was speaking close to 2,000 people the official estimate early in the
00:01:32.700 morning from London police was that there were 1,500 what these reporters agreed to write about
00:01:37.520 was quote hundreds and in one of those words we quote don't want to give them credit unquote so this is
00:01:45.360 why I came all the way to England to get the facts of the case not to be a cheerleader not to be an
00:01:50.100 activist but to do what any fair and honest journalist would do for the true north initiative I'm Andrew
