Thanks Tommy. And thanks Wendell.

I have covered a dozen or more trials in the UK and my coverage has cumulatively been seen by tens of millions of people — 8.5 million yesterday alone.

My live-tweeting style gives much more information than traditional reporting in the form of one single essay at the end of the day. In fact, I can see the regime journalists constantly checking my X feed.

That’s what makes the BBC so mad — I get more views than them, but more to the point, I don’t share their political perspective.

The regime media are like an old guild, trying to keep out competitors — either commercial competitors or ideological competitors.

I think this is about modernizing the courts; it’s about access to justice and transparency. I know the media cartel doesn’t want that, but the judge should.

One more word about “quality” — misinformation, disinformation, errors.

Independent media is much more nimble in dealing with corrections — especially X’s @CommunityNotes. Unlike regime media, which gets to veto letters to the editor they don’t like. Earlier today I posted a completely false headline by @SkyNews, which will never be corrected, because it’s hostile to @TRobinsonNewEra, so it’s the “good” kind of error.

My tweets are sometimes spicy, but no more so than the malicious defamation of Tommy by the regime media, who never write about him without saying “EDL founder” or some personal or classist sneer.

Class is certainly part of this. The prestige media are in the courtroom itself. The citizen journalists are in a holding room, behind shatter-proof glass, where it’s almost impossible to hear the proceedings. Know your place!

I say prestige media with a wink — they certainly think they’re prestigious. But not a one of them works for a successful company — they’re either owned by oligarchs or bailed out by the taxpayer, or both. They’re heroes in their own mind, but the world — and the Internet — has moved on and forgotten them, long ago.

I hope the court chooses the future, even with its risks and chaos, over the stale, insular, narcissistic media establishment. We’ll see what the judge tells me shortly.

Quick update. The judge spoke with me about my credentials, which had been questioned by the BBC. I presented my credentials from Canada's @IndependentPG and the judge accepted them as on par with British journalistic credentials.

So I am now seated with the regime journalists.

@IndependentPG The judge also warned me about using florid language to describe some of the "officers of the court". He said that if I'm too rambunctious, he could rescind my credentials. I told the judge that I would comply.

BREAKING: I’m in Ottawa with @ThevoiceAlexa @guillaum3roy and our beautiful billboard truck. We’re covering the sentencing hearing of Tamara Lich & Chris Barber for leading the peaceful trucker convoy. It’s a political vendetta more than a prosecution.

I'm outside courtroom 5 in the Ottawa courthouse. The judge is inside, hearing another matter. There are more than 50 people waiting at the door to go in for the sentencing hearing. As usual, the course of justice is slow and punitive. Which seems to be the whole point of it.

Tamara Lich has been through the longest mischief trial only in Canadian history, and (as far as I can tell) the longest in the history of the Commonwealth. That's deliberate. The prosecutors don't have anything to "get" her with. So they turned the process into the punishment.

12 hours after leaving Toronto, I have arrived at the UK court of appeal. Tommy Robinson is appealing his prison sentence for contempt of court. I’ll live-tweet the proceedings and post videos. To see my work and help crowdfund my journey, please visit . TommyReports.com

I am now inside Courtroom 4 at the Royal Courts of Justice, which is the court of appeal. It's a fairly large courtroom. There are about 20 people in the public gallery. There are also nine people (including myself) in the seats reserved for the press.

I see a large screen with views of the judges' seats, and the lawyers' benches. I presume that is the video feed that Tommy Robinson will see from prison. Tommy himself is not visible yet.

Canada sells 4.3 million barrels of ethical oil to the U.S. every day, from oil companies largely owned by U.S. shareholders.

Who would you rather buy oil from? It would take years for the U.S. to ramp up its own production that much.

And: who would you rather us sell it to?

I can understand Trump’s disdain for Trudeau — most Canadians share that view. But there are better ways to shoot at Trudeau without hitting Canadians, particularly Canadians who love the U.S.

Canada — really Alberta, the Texas of Canada — has 170+ billion barrels of oil. No need to spend $50B/year patrolling the Persian gulf to protect Saudi tankers — it’s right here. Alberta has proposed doubling production. That would completely displace U.S. imports of OPEC oil.

Jeremy MacKenzie a fed.

No real Canadian conservative would be like this.

He’s like Grant Bristow, the leader of the racist Heritage Front who was really a CSIS agent.

Diagolon’s purpose is to discredit conservatives, give fodder to the media and provide an excuse to censors.

It’s funny & pitiful to see him blame the Jews for a fraud alert in his banking. No bank in Canada has a Jewish CEO; all are widely held in the stock market. I bet he blames the Jews when he hits his thumb with a hammer.

This isn’t authentic. No-one is this stupid. It’s an op.

I should disclose that this bigoted fed is actually suing me for calling him a bigoted fed. That’s obviously part of the op, too. Everyone calls him racist; he is. But he’s only suing Rebel News. Like I say: he’s a fed.
