“And as for the protesters: you knowingly attend an illegal event and refuse to disperse despite many warnings to do so, you get served the boot as you deserve.”

One thing that frequently saddens me on this site is the number of out-and-out trolls who visit and leave their pointless comments below the line. Understand that however much you mock those who put their liberty, jobs and reputations on the line, those who protest are far bigger people than you will ever be.

Judges have guidelines, not an absolute for every offence

When a left wing artist does it by damaging public property, it’s genius.

The judges have to choice but to apply the as written. Why not draw the commissioner of police or the home secretary? Perhaps that’s overdone and would have been boring artistically.

That wall looks like solid stone, so removing it intact may be a challenge.
