Subject: EMERGENCY: Tommy Robinson could be back in prison as soon as Tuesday night.

Dear Norman,

I spoke with Tommy Robinson’s lawyer this morning.

He said Tommy's trial has been confirmed for Tuesday, October 23rd, at the Old Bailey criminal court. It had been tentative, but now the judge says that will indeed be the full hearing.

But what’s new is this: the judge has said that he will personally lead the case — not the Attorney General, as is usually done. The judge rejected that. He will likely cross-examine Tommy directly. And he could issue his decision in the matter as soon as that afternoon.

I’m worried about that. Normally two opposing barristers argue, and the judge decides.

Here, the judge himself could enter the fray.

I’m worried that this trial is at the Old Bailey. That’s the high-security court for the most serious criminal matters in the UK. And the judge who is presiding is the most senior judge of the court, Nicholas Hilliard, QC.

I find it odd that they have put a criminal judge, who normally hears cases of murder and terrorism, in charge of a minor civil contempt hearing. It’s unusual. Contempt of court isn’t even a crime.

But then again, a lot of unusual things are done to Tommy Robinson by the state.

It’s unusual for a journalist to be sentenced to jail time at all for contempt of court. It’s usually a small fine.
It’s unusual for a civil prisoner to spend 10 weeks in solitary confinement. That’s against prison regulations.
It’s unusual to have a second, re-hearing of a contempt case — especially after hard time was served.
I hope the judge does the right thing. But this entire matter has been irregular and improper since the beginning — that’s not my opinion, that’s the scorching ruling by the Court of Appeal.

So what can we do?

Most of it is in the hands of lawyers — we’ve crowdfunded reputable barristers and solicitors for Tommy.

I know my role — to report the truth about Tommy. The reports I’ve filed in my past visits to court have been viewed millions of times, both on Twitter and YouTube.

I think the best thing we can do is to bring more real reporters to court — to counteract the bias of the mainstream UK media.

So I’m bringing up to five other journalists with me this time, from around the world — from Canada the U.S. and now from Australia, too.

Plus three cameramen.

That’s nine people to tell the truth.

If you can help me pay the plane tickets of these real reporters, please do.

They’re all flying economy class, the cheapest tickets we can find.
They’re all staying in 3-star hotels, nothing fancier.
We’re not paying them a fee — just their travel costs, plus £100 for incidentals.
Our total budget, to bring in all of them, plus the three cameramen, will probably end up costing about $17,000 Canadian, which is about £11,000.

Please help me help Tommy. Click here to make a donation in Canadian dollars, and click here to donate in British pounds.

Or you can go to RealReporters.uk — I think it’s the most tangible way to make a difference, by expanding the group of real reporters actually telling the truth about his ordeal.

Thank you very much — and good luck to us all.

Yours truly,

Ezra Levant

P.S. Tommy’s legal fate is in the hands of the court. But his political fate is in the court of public opinion. Help me bring in real reporters, to counteract the UK’s media bias. Go to www.RealReporters.uk — thank you.
