The ones who obeyed and handcuffed me, I'm not going to be mad at them. They were doing their job. When I was at the jail, you know, the guys in the jail had nothing to do with my arrest, so I was lighthearted. You know, I mean— And that's another thing about being in jail I've learned from Tommy Robinson, is you are at the mercy of these guards. You are at the physical mercy of them.

Especially if nobody can visit you. That's right. Who can communicate. Exactly right. So... I knew I would be out in a matter of hours because they didn't actually charge me with anything. Right, right.
