I could have shown the film ‘Silenced’ at any point in the preceding three years. I didn’t.

However, I did make the decision to play this film in Trafalgar Square on the 27th July this year. and I am grateful to @elonmusk and X for allowing the film to remain available; for standing for freedom of speech and a free press.

So if you’re asking me whether I plead guilty or not guilty, yes, I’m guilty of showing the film in Trafalgar Square on 27th July. And I am guilty of JOURNALISM.

And, although not for you Your Honour, nor for your court nor for the entire justice system, I do have contempt for Justice Nicklin’s ruling and the actions that attempt to hide the truth from the public.

Justice Nicklin fell out with his own father before the case, arguing about me. He should have recused himself before the case even began.

The world is watching. I stand for the truth, for freedom of speech and freedom of the press and if that puts me on the wrong side of Justice Nicklin’s injunction, then so be it.

If I have to sit in jail for speaking the truth; Well I am just one of many people now that this government is imprisoning for things they say; political prisoners.

This government is releasing violent offenders early to make space for people who tweet things they disagree with.

Peter Lynch is the first to have paid the ultimate price. A sixty-one year-old father, and grandfather, non-violent but imprisoned for his views and his speech.

If I have to sit in jail for refusing to be silenced for reporting information that was brought to me for journalism...

Then I am prepared for that.

Thank you

Your Honour.
