Tony Martin was as moderate and reasonable a man as you could ever meet.
Notably nervous initially, and worried about the mechanics of getting back,
he warmed up during his speech and particularly during questions (which I
think he felt a lot more comfortable about than the speech). He didn't
talk about what happened that night, in case there were more court
proceedings. He did say he felt he'd not been at all well defended, and
that it might have been hard for the jury not to feel intimidated with so
many visitors in the court room (I think the jury all lived in Norfolk).
He said he'd asked his probationer officer, during the proceedings about
release, what HE would have done, would he have hidden in the wardrobe,
jumped out the window, or what - and the chap could not answer (but, as is
well known, said that Tony wasn't fit at that stage for release).
He also spoke (with enthusiasm) of his beloved dogs and how they'd been
misportrayed as fierce in the press. And of how a large black man in prison
said to him, by way of support, that if an older person was attacked by a
number of younger people in their home, he didn't see how they could defend
themself short of very strong force.
Someone asked if he'd stand as an MP, as he'd have massive support and an
instant army of volunteers, but he said he preferred his farm (but he did
then make some positive noises).
He did mention that he felt Britain had got into the thuggish state it's in
not only because of the Labour party but also because of liberal law and
order / "pc" policies from the Tories, which I think the room all agreed
with.
He also made some very reflective comments about our immortality and the
inability of science to explain our, or the universe's creation - whilst
making clear he was not "religious".
He said he was not proud of what happened and that no-one would want to kill
anyone.
A questionner who was a neighbourhood watch co-ordinator said how he'd had a
batch of government leaflets to give out saying "make your home safe
(including for burglars)", and complained together with all the other Watch
people, leading to their reissuance without the bracketed text. But he
couldn't get them to sack the dirtball that put that text in, in the first
place.
Among the great folk in the audience were John Gouriet, the constitutional
campaigner, Sam Swerling, founder of the Monday Club, Derek Turner, editor
of Right Now!, Gregory Lauder-Frost, organiser of the dinner for the
Traditional Britain Society, Adrian Davies, founder of the Freedom Party,
Mike Smith of the Conservative Democratic Alliance, and Stuart Millson who
writes for that wonderful journal "This England".
I think he probably enjoyed the evening, we left feeling we'd met a
fascinating, thoughtful and actually quite moderate man (whom the jury
misunderstood),
