" Five environmental activists are facing long sentences " - yeah I'll believe it when I see it.Champagne socialists.
Never been told 'no' at any point in their sad lives. Their parents are probably their 'friends'
At times, the two-and-a-half-week trial descended into chaos, with defendants arrested for contempt and dragged by police and custody officers into the dock and down to the cells when they refused to leave the witness box or spoke out of turn, claiming they were not being given the opportunity to present their full case.
I imagine the courtroom was thoroughly fumigated after their appearance in the dock![]()
The prisons are full of violent crims apparently, no room for these tosspots.
Good on the judge for pulling the hearing back to the facts of "did they cause chaos on the M25" and not letting them turn it into an irrelevant climate lecture.
