No he didn't. He was found not guilty.

her most heinous crime was attending a Ken Dodd show- he should have been arrested years ago for impersonating a comedian.

As usual the Mail fails to tell the full story.

she could not be arrested just for "hugging her grand-daughter against the wishes of social services" as no law exists to facilitate such action- it's most likely there was a court order in place presenting her from seeing the grand-daughter.

Reasons for that may be questioned and..

Family Courts and The Court of Protection are highly secretive often for very good reasons- to protect vulnerable people (from perhaps becoming targets of Daily Mail misinformation)but the Court of Protection is an odd one with great powers.

It will feature heavily, my spies tell me, in the Cary Elwes directed film about the late Kit Lambert ex-Who manager who died in mysterious circumstances and who allowed himself to be talked into becoming a Ward Of the Court to avoid a drug charge & thus found himself evicted from his Belgravia house into a series of cheap hotels.

Saw Dodd live about 2007 the show started at 7.30 finished at 11.30 including the interval.

So much for the Coalition parties giving fair justice!!

perhaps he is much better live..a lot of people are.

ie: I had no interest in ever seeing singer Tony Bennett until a friend dragged me along.

Realised he probably has the purest voice on the planet and is mesmerising live.
