Proof that Tommy was NOT a risk, the man was wearing flip-flops, just like he did during his tour of Israel that I participated in….
Great observation Brian, who wears flips to a dust-up? That alone tells us this was a pleasure excursion, Tommy was out with his children to enjoy the day with each other…
Tommy Robinson #TommyFightBack is in court in a little over an hour.
This is where @CambsCops are trying to claim Tommy was a serious risk of being involved in a violent incident with his young children and wearing this extremely tough footwear.

I myself have to head back to Canada this afternoon. I have very much enjoyed the privilege of being your eyes and ears in the courtroom. And a thank-you to my new pal Freddie, who I think did a fair report of things for

So she’s asking the lawyers if they’ll allow for things to be delayed. She’s putting it to the lawyers.
Gurden is conferring with Tommy.

The judge comes back and says she’d like to keep her promise to speak at a “state school” and that it’s important she keep that promise. (I think she made that commitment, thinking the trial would be done by now.)

To be clear, the judge said she’s prioritize this trial over her school speech. The judge leaves the court to let Tommy and his lawyer (Alison Gurden) confer on the matter of timing.
If Gurden does her final submissions today then the judgment comes out tomorrow.

Judge says she has another appointment speaking to a school this afternoon (but says she could decline that); Gurden suggested she’d make her submissions tomorrow. Judge says if Gurden makes her submissions tomorrow, then she wouldn’t have the judgement rendered on Friday.

Clemens now speaks to “quantum” — that is, if Tommy wins the case, how much money
@CambsCops
should pay him.
Refers to a case of a woman who successfully sued some cops for humiliation, but he doesn’t publicly say the financial amount (I’m sure it’s in his written submissions)

Clemens: Tommy’s daughter was not almost hit by a car. Something might have happened, but it was not much.

Clemens: the children crying was at least in part as a result of Tommy “remonstrating with police”

Clemens: “they were not followed or filmed by

all the way to the railway station”

Clemens says that “at no stage were Tommy’s kids with him in the pub”
Judge: Mason said they were
Clemens: Mason says “some kids” were, but didn’t know if they were Tommy’s kids
Judge: “they were there”

Clemens: “It’s rather subtle and proportionate policing to use a carrot and stick approach, is it not?”
Police can ask you to do all sorts of things; whether you have to comply is another matter.

Clemens: there are ample grounds to say that there was reasonable grounds to suspect that if Tommy was left in the pub there was a likelihood of disorder.

Clemens paraphrased: because you can’t show weakness and compromise, or they’ll take a mile. And decisions are made in real time.

48m
Judge to Clemens (paraphrased): what do you say to P.C. Mason’s point that it would have been better to let the fans stay will the game was over at 7 p.m. instead of kicking them out at 6:30 p.m.

Clemens: we know from PC Mason that Tommy was “upset”.

Clemens points out that Tommy’s friends upstairs in the pub were (historical) risk supporters.
He says Tommy’s name wasn’t in the briefing notes/slides for the police, but says a cop testified it was verbally mentioned.

Clemens says it can’t be political discrimination, since his politics never came up.
Clemens says it can’t be harassment, because it was one event, not a series of events.

Clemens: “The only sensible answers given by Tommy were to my detailed questions.. did any officer mention your views on Islam”
Clemens: Tommy’s answer: “no”
Therefore, he wasn’t discriminated against because of his views on Islam.

Clemens says Tommy has no proof that the

acted based on Tommy’s views were on Islam.

We now hear from PC Mason that Tommy was in fact with risk supporters.

Clemens pulls back from his suggestion the other day that Tommy was a bad father; seems to retract his earlier comments.

Clemens: skeptical that Tommy’s phone battery died. He says if there was more footage — such as Tommy’s daughter running into the road; or them following him further — then Tommy should have it, or his friend should have it.
