Bit shocked to read in the guardian about the 3 arrested for disrupting the train, in front of magistrates this morning and told they would not get bail and would remain in custody until the 16th of May. Seems a bit much considering the lightness of the crime, breaching a law from the 1800s.
I'm not at all familiar with bail conditions etc but that seems a bit harsh doesn't it? Maybe setting a precedence to deter others?
I imagine it was refused as the likelihood is that they would go and do the same, or a similar, thing again. Whether that's right is obviously a different matter.
