Today the Defence Case Opens With My Cross-Examination
Further Update 6 April
Defence Case Delayed Till Tuesday April 11
Contrary to all expectations, so much time was wasted on things like Agreed Facts (what the Defence & Persecution agree!) that I didn't take the stand on Friday.
It will now be Tuesday April 11 before I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
BBC forced to show Palestinian flags at entrance to Wolverhampton Court because of major child sex abuse case
People may have see in BBC News yesterday that there was a major child abuse case that was dealt with in Wolverhampton Crown Court, when 21 people were convicted of quite horrifying abuse against children. Shockingly it included 8 women.
I mention this for 2 reasons.
Firstly because it demonstrates to the racist media and politicians that child abuse is not a property of Pakistanis or Muslims but that it is a product of the sick society we live in.
Secondly because the BBC covered it and were forced to film the front of the court which was bedecked in Palestinian flags.
However the BBC made up for it with their shocking coverage of the attacks on Al Aqsa Mosque by Israel's storm troopers summed up in their headline "clashes erupt at contested holy site." [See Jonathan Cook's excellent How BBC coverage is enabling Israeli state violence at al-Aqsa]

This is a very quick update, sorry for the lateness of the message but I have been preoccupied tonight with an updated Defence Statement and other documents including a conference with my barrister.
At or about 11.30 a.m. the Defence case will open with
my giving evidence and then being cross-examined by the Prosecution. For those
that can make it, the trial is being held at Wolverhampton Crown Court, which
is about 5 minutes from the train station.
It would be good to have as many people as possible
attending, both the public gallery and the lobby/picket outside.

ReplyDeleteSadly very little media coverage on the conviction of the 21 British -born, White Child Abusers: so well said Tony! and for the rest: we wish you the best of luck when your trial begins in earnest!
ReplyDeleteBut if they were Muslims it would be the lead story in the Express/Mail etc.
DeleteGood luck Tone!
ReplyDeleteHow do they know they are women??/
ReplyDeleteYou want us there at 11:30 Tuesday the 11th?
ReplyDeletethat would be good. I should be on from 10.30 unless there are more delays
ReplyDeleteThe BBC took the opportunity to show the Palestinian flags just above a large lettered banner that read 21 convicted of child sex abuse. It was an attempt to prove guilt by association. The Palestinian flags could have been cropped out of the picture had the BBC wanted to do so. But they did not.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Tony
ReplyDeleteHe's a good man. I wish there were more like Tony. Good luck Comrade. ,✊❤️
