Taking the ****..

Those who pulled down the Colston statue should be prosecuted.....but pragmatically is it worth the police effort?

Yes. Criminal damage is criminal damage and should be prosecuted no matter the skin colour involved.

There have been plenty of cases of criminal damage - even when the damage is less permanent e.g. mud or watercolour paint and even chalk.
 
But is it worth the trouble? If it goes to a jury you'll have people queuing up to fund the defence team, the risk that a jury will acquit despite the facts of the case and cries that they're wasting resources when actual crimes are happening. And all that for a statue no one really cares about.

I don't care one way or the other but I can see why it's not being pursued, at least for now.
 
Anyway back on track. Plead guilty to an offence and unless you are mentally ill, you will get the sentence appropriate to the offence, irrelevant of whether you acts actually fitted a lower charge.

Maybe he can do some reading while inside.

Very severe I thought. Perhaps wear it (the whole prison thing) as a badge of honour. Having a prison record is never a good thing.
 
and as expected the usual gutless spineless british response to the disparity in justice , which has been exercised to attempt to tame the racism protests. turn it in to a joke ! :LOL: laughable.

As is your post.

:ROFLMAO:

Are you not enjoying drinking outside with Andy?
 
How do you know he was right wing?
"A 28-year-old lout wept in the dock as he was jailed for two weeks after he 'drank 16 pints' then urinated beside a memorial honouring murdered PC Keith Palmer in Westminster during far-right protests on Saturday.
Andrew Banks, of Stansted, Essex, said he attended the demonstrations in the city centre in a bid to 'protect statues' - though admitted in court today he wasn't sure which memorials he was there to defend."

Any 'left wing thugs' out there 'defending' statues they don't know about?

Funny also how Essex has a large proportion of 'idiots'...

But at least his dad gave him a b ollocking!
