Pretty nasty and insulting, even though the picture shows him urinating to the side of the memorial and not on the memorial. People are talking about him getting 10 years in prison. Although many people on here, including me are not big fans of the plod, but 10 years for this is ridiculous. Prisons are overcrowded, given long sentences to actions which are insulting and offensive but don't really have any long term effects is ridiculous. The memorial is made from stone, it doesn't have feelings and can't feel pain. Maybe he didn't mean to pee next to a memorial. He could just have been caught short and went to the side of the road for a slash, and it just happened to be next to a memorial. People are piss on demand after all, and their are no public toilets open, or bars or shops where you can go. PC warren was killed by a muslim terrorist, so does this mean that he is a pro-muslim protester, I doubt it, but the protests were full of contradictions, with one man with a swastika tattoo protecting a war memorial.

Yet we can take unlawfully tear down statues. The police won't do nothing.

But he didn't wee on it. He missed. It is like jailing someone for almost shoplifting, and where was he supposed to go if the toilets are all shut?

Sentenced to 14 days custody.
He was in central London to "protect statues", but admitted he did not know which statues.

Disgraceful sentence.

The Court apparantly accepted that he did not intend to urinate on the statue. He has some level of mental health problem. He has no previous convictions. He will spend 7 days in prison and a year on post sentence supervision licence to the Probation Service.

There will have been first time dwelling burglars in Court today and those who have committed ABH who did not recieve a custodial sentence.

Depriving someone of their liberty should not be done lightly and for political reasons. It should only be done when the offender is do dangerous there is no other option.

Otherwise, treat people humanely and with understanding. Because it is the right thing to do, and you will only make them worse if you don't.

I feel ashamed of aspects of this nasty little country at the moment.

Totally agree WYOT - Great Britain is turning into Nasty Little Britain. The country has totally lost its way. When a country is run by a tabloid and its readers we're in trouble.

In 2 minds over this (odd for me ) but he committed an offense anyway even if it wasn't near that memorial (pissing in public..so many busted for it including the Rolling Stones).

But usually it 's just fines although there may be something in the Magistrate "sending a message" but then I hate those "sending message" sentences as a load of hogwash and never makes a difference. Fat lumps of lard and girlies will keep pissing in the streets come what may.

Bear in mind it was the Gammon's dad who dobbed him in (Gammon-new word I heard for the increasingly ghastly vile creatures who have desecrated the Union Jack and claimed it for themselves as they think they are the true "patriots" having fucked Britain over Brexit and forced me to throw out my Union Jack pillow cases even though they were getting long in the tooth)

I mean what is the point to these 1000s of ghastly unkempt pot bellied "patriots" who storm the streets over inane matters?

I saw a video of one, pissed as a rat telling his Gammon patriots (so scruffy- there should be dressed standards if you go into Central London ) that "Churchill Killed Hitler" !!! to guffaws and cheers from the Gammon Crowd.

So there you are..Churchill sneaked into the Bunker and killed Adolf with a giant cigar..could have spared the Missus though

They're just looking for a rumble aren't they?
