He deserves it.
Lad on my course was amongst those who unlawfully entered Millbank then. Him and his girlfriend were nicked, both under the Terrorism Act. He was kept in custody for 24 hours, and banned from entering the borough of Westminster. He’s still banned now, and looking at a few months inside, certainly up for trial anyway. They kept his girlfriend for less time, but held onto her shoes. The police also still have both their mobile phones. New ‘rights’ the Terrorism Act allows the cops to exploit. Neither are a danger, which is abundantly clear. Their phones contain nothing but the usual, her shoes nothing Richard Reid would envy.
That’s heavy-handed, and being made an example of, not lobbing into jail a dick who chucks a fire-extinguisher off a roof.
