Precisely Boltar. After the first demonstration, when these punks darn
near killed a policeman with a fire hydrant, anyone with a brain knew
what to expect next time.

Extinguisher, rather than hydrant. And he's been sentenced today - 2yr8mo
for "violent disorder".

or no fees.

They do Open University in Jail, don't they?

And how's the chap who climbed the Cenotaph doing - was he chucked out,
or fined, or both; or something else?

Why? AFAIK, there's no general bar on ex-criminals studying at
university, although there might be for specific courses (Law, perhaps).

Some long-term prisoners have gained degrees while in prison (via the
Open University etc). A 2-year 8-month sentence is too short for that,
though.

While it might stop you being a laywer(?), would it stop you studying law?

Presumably he wouldn't need the full three years, as he won't be
spending vacations working or inter-railing!

If he'd thrown it ever so slightly harder he'd probably be doing 10 - 15
for manslaughter right now since apparently it just missed a plods head by
inches.

"The judge praised Wollard's mother saying he was taking into account her
"extraordinary and courageous conduct" in persuading him to give himself up."

Wtf?? What exactly was stopping her picking up the phone and shopping him
herself as soon as she found out?

In truth, that would be a hard thing for any mother to do.

Perhaps. Woman tend to be more sentimental. But if he was my son I wouldn't
have waited for him to decide, I'd have phoned the police.
