.... adopted son of multi-millionaire Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour.

sorry mick he pleaded guilty. Her admitted his crime. The guys a dick and you're just a shouty tart. Next

... it's sentence not sentance.

# The imprisonment of Charlie Gilmore and other students is an example of what a spiteful, vindictive and politically corrupt little nation the UK has become.

Utter rubbish


# The imprisonment of Charlie Gilmore for 16 months is yet another example of what a spiteful, vindictive and politically corrupt little nation the UK has become. Gilmore pleaded guilty to violent disorder, whatever led him to throw himself on the mercy of the courts he alone knows, as it seems the only victims of his violent disorder were a flag pole, some old newspapers, a mannequin and now himself.

Seems like you are the only one that thinks he isn't guilty.


# Oh, and his name sake Charlie Windsor, who arrived late for the Royal Variety Performance, but as it shortened his ordeal of watching such crap, perhaps a right Charlie should have awarded young Charlie a medal.

Irrelevant whinging about stuff you don't like.


# Charlie Gilmore was before a court for committing a ‘crime’ the likes of which young men throughout the land commit most Saturday nights unhindered by the police.

But, he decided to do it in a way to get on the front page of every paper. More the fool him.
Welcome to the real world, not the fantasy world you live in


# Indeed swinging from a flag pole is just the type of jolly jape Bullingdon club members are famous for, when not knocking a Policeman's hat off. Bertie Wooster would have been proud of young Gilmore.

Bollox. It was a disgrace and you fucking know it.


# Lets be clear, Gilmore’s real crime like hundreds of other young people who have since been arrested and charged by the Metropolitan police for having the audacity to protest earlier this year outside parliament and in London’s West-end against the rise in tuition fees and the scraping of the EMA.

Protesting is not a get out of jail card. Thousands of people managed not to get arrested unlike this loon who took drugs, got pissed and went on a violent rampage trying to incite people to KILL.


# Whilst former assistant commissioner John Yates of Scotland Yard was “too busy fighting terrorism” to assign a squad of officers to investigate phone hacking by News International. He and his superiors had all the time in the world to assign upwards of 200 officers to Operations Malone and Brontide, to track and arrest hundreds of students for their involvement in the anti fees protest. There was no appointment to be arrested for these youngsters, their doors went in at dawn as is the way with the Metropolitan police; unless you work for News international that is.

Oh grow up.


# It would be interesting to know, when Yates told parliament he had been investigating 70 terrorism cases, whether operations Malone or Brontide fell into that category?

Would it?


#As Mike Mansfield and others have pointed out, the Murdoch press was first in line to set up a hue and cry against the student protesters. This enabled the Met to go about their business investigating and charging these comparatively harmless youngsters, whilst ignoring the countless bin bags of NI evidence which had taken up residence in a locked room at Scotland Yard.

Err..... this is no excuse for Gilmore.


# Of course the judges are no slouches when it comes to stepping up to the plate in defense of privilege, as the scandal of the ‘Super-injunctions have shown. Thus they were more than willing to help ruin many a young life by sentencing protesters like Charlie Gilmore to terms of imprisonment. Far from being imprisoned young people like Gilmore should be congratulated for standing alongside their peers and campaigning against the rise in student fees and the abolition of EMA, a scheme which helped the most disadvantaged six formers gain a university place.

You are going off on complete tangents now....... Gilmore?

As Michael Mansfield, Len McCuskey, Liam Burns and 17 others wrote in a letter to the press:
“All prosecutions against protesters as a result of these investigations by this tainted police force and charging decisions by the CPS should be dropped and that an inquiry be held into the process that has led to punitive sentences being meted out by the judiciary to those already convicted.”

Err.... what about the violent bit? The drug taking and going on a rampage smashing up shit, attacking police, attacking civilians? Protesting means you can do that does it? You are wrong as proven by what everyone outside your little bubble thinks.

Gilmore is a rich kid who wants to act all working class, in the same way some white boys like to think they are black gangsters init.

Daver, why don't you just crawl back to whatever hole you crawled fro myou fucking troll and die there? Don't you have Daily Mail comments section to air your "views"?
I think Charlie Gilmour or whatever is his correct name was indeed drunken posh twat that didn't know much what was he doing on the night, but I agree with the article- it is totally political sentence.

A totally political sentence?!!! It was an entirely normal sentence under the entirely normal sentencing guidelines judges have. If anything it's a light sentence.

If, anarchist, you mean all sentences from crown court judges on public order crimes during political demonstrations are political then i entirely agree. But i suspect, anarchist, you have little idea what atually gilmour pleaded guilty to.

he had shit, but very expensive legal advice that most ordinary working class people could ever dream of receiving, so in a very different respect this is an entirely 'political sentence'

Mick Hall is just going on about Gilmour to drum up traffic for his pathetic blog. It'll all blow over but Gilmour will still be rotting in the cell where he belongs.

Do you think the relatives of those who died for his freedom would be quite so forgiving of his despicable attack on the cenotaph? Hope he enjoys prison.

daver why don't you just fuck off ?

THat breaks the website's editorial guidelines.
Do you mean the hole where 99.999% of the normal population lives - ie. the real world
Go back to prison

Custodial sentences for protestors will, I hope, backfire for the government. Prisons are overcrowded already and you can't lock up everyone who stands up and is counted. Next time it all kicks off, don't let a small handful of people go down for it - they can't lock up hundreds and thousands of us. If we don't axct together, dissent will slowly but surely be crushed out of us.

They can shoot you all though

a indymedia censorship crew in action. Freedom of speech for those you get approval. Nice.

let's be very very clear about this below are examples of those convicted for the pro-gaza demos, most young mulsim/asian kids. No one outraged how dare they get such sentences.

Defendant 2 Female Youth Pleaded guilty to Violent Disorder

Defendant 3 Male Adult Pleaded guilty to Violent Disorder

etc etc

> let's be very very clear about this below are examples of those convicted for the pro-gaza demos, most young mulsim/asian kids. No one outraged how dare they get such sentences.

So, this just shows a correlation between violent disorder and mulsim/asian. Interesting.
Why are you complaining about their sentences. How dare THEY do what they did.
Society does not have to answer to these numbnuts

Cenotaph..................... Gilmour is an absolute cunt

Such behaviour cannot be permitted in a civilised society.

Not only were they blatantly unjust and draconian, but it was also clear that a precedent was being set to use sentencing to deter protest.

Coverage from Indymedia uk:

Witnesses Needed for Gaza Demos SchNEWS: Gaza Defendants Hammered Gaza Protests: Harsh Sentences Likely To Deter Lawful Protest Support Gaza protesters at Court - 9:30, 26th March, Isleworth Gaza Protestors Sentencing Under Scrutiny. More jail terms for Gaza protesters

Why should rioters not be jailed? Gilmour had been caught on camera taking part in some of the violent disorder during the December 9th student demo, so why should he be spared jail? You left wing protesters think that you are above the law and can do anything you want in the pursuit of you cause. That is exactly what the IRA believed, they believe they had a right to carry out as much violence as possible in pursuit of the aim of a united Ireland.
