// Will he now be allowed the freedom to speak openly in a higher court? //
The observation implies that 'Tommy Robinson' has not had the freedom to speak in any of the courts he has been in so far - which I seriously doubt.
Although 'Tommy Robinson' loves to martyr himself as a figure who is repressed and kept quiet because what he has to say is inpopular with the Establishment, I observe the exact opposite to be true.
'Tommy Robinson' uses each and every opportunity there is to speak in public, and via the media - absence of such an ability would mean that his reputation and livelihood, built as they are on exactly that ability to speak freely would have died out long ago and we would never hear of him again.
One of my major with 'Tommy Robinson' is that he uses the freedom of speech available to everyone in our free society, to compain that he does not have access to free speech because what he says is unpalatable.
In my view, what he says is unpalatable, not because what he says is untrue, but because it is presented in a way that creates racial tension, unrest, and civil disobedience - but I would never ever want him to be silenced, because free speech is a vital aspect of a free and fair society.
I imagine that 'Tommy Robinson' is fully aware of the galaxy-sized irony of using free speech to complain that free speech is denied to him - but he has built a seriously lucrative business out of it, so I doubt he is minded to stop now.
I also hope the case is dismissed - if only to temporarily remove the platform on which 'Tommy Robinson' struts and puffs and shouts his nonsense. That will of course be temporary, but any respite is welcome.
