And the court staff just tried to remove me from the gallery after two hours in my spot because I'm not in an 'official chair'.

Yeah. I know. My butt knows. We all know. But I'm not moving. I came here to report and I will.

I flew all the way from Western Canada to report on the trial of Tommy Robinson, and I'll be damned if some court staffer on a power trip is going to stop me.

What are they going to do? Arrest me, pepper spray me while I'm handcuffed, and ban me from London?

There are 6 open seats in the journalist row. I'm wearing my Canadian Independent Press Gallery badge. But I need the British Media Party stamp of approval, I suppose.

If I had to guess, the delay in court is to prevent Tommy Robinson from attending a St George's Day demonstration this afternoon.

I've met a lovely lady who doesn't mind me sitting in a strange spot beside her in the courtroom gallery. She's got a grandchild in Alberta and we are talking about how cold it is where I live. As a farmer, I could complain about the weather all day. What a great way to pass the
