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’sI think this is about modernizing the courts; it’s about access to justice and transparency.

, 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.
