March 2019. Tommy Robinson is facing a fresh hearing over allegations that he committed contempt of court by allegedly filming people involved in a criminal trial and broadcasting footage on social media. A statement from the attorney general, Geoffrey Cox’s office said he had reached his decision based on an assessment of the evidence and whether it was in the “wider public interest”, adding “After carefully considering the details of this case, I have concluded there are strong grounds to bring fresh contempt of court proceedings”. Tommy Robinson, reacting to the decision, said: “What people should be asking is what’s taken the attorney general five months? I walked out of prison for this six months ago. What’s taken him five months? And then it’s going to take them another five months to get me into court. Another five months before a trial. How is this in the public interest? This is ongoing State Persecution of a journalist who exposes the Government, the Establishment and all of their Wrongs.” He added: “I, along with the support of the British public, will contest this. I am innocent. I broke no law.”
