Watch Britain First deputy make statement from Belfast Lord Mayor's seat hours after court hearing

The deputy leader of Britain First, Jayda Fransen, has been filmed on the seat of the Lord Mayor in Belfast City Hall saying she intends to fight the charges over comments made at a rally in the city last year.

Ms Fransen faces a spring trial in Belfast after she appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court today on two hate charges related to a speech she made at a Northern Ireland Against Terrorism rally in the city in August.
