The media made a big deal about what happened after the verdict was delivered at Tommy Robinson's trial. I was there, and filmed it all.
Whilst it was certainly true that it was noisy, and a few barriers were kicked, it is also a fact that the City of London police pulled out their batons and started striking people who they decided were too close to the barriers.
I saw one Beer can thrown at the courthouse (not at any police officers) and I am informed the person who did that was later arrested. It is worth noting that throught the whole day, I only saw a handful of people drinking any alcohol at all.
What you will see which was not reported was supporters of Tommy Robinson asking the crowd to calm it all down, and turn their backs on the police, thus not giving them a valid reason to strike anyone. You will also notice supporters forming a wall between the barriers and the crowd to try to prevent anyone from getting hurt. I spoke to people afterwards who had been hit in the arm with batons simply for having their hands on or over the barriers.
You can obviously make up your own mind about the events, but I felt it was important to show the unedited footage from inside the crowd.
