A mother who 'nudged' an Insulate Britain road-blocker with her 4x4 as she tried to get her son to school has been...
Given the keys to the City? Knighted?
...charged with assault.
Of course...
Sherrilyn Speid, 34, will appear in court in January accused of dangerous driving and assault over the incident on the M25 on October 13 despite the police taking no action against the protester.
Naturally!
'A mum trying to take her son to school is not the one who should be facing the firm hand of the law,' the mental health specialist said. '
'These Insulate Britain fools want it all their own way. Who is sticking up for normal people here?
'I think it's disgusting that they were stopping working class people from getting to work and their kids to school and now they're trying to prosecute a single mum.
'I could lose my whole livelihood. If I have a criminal record I won't be able to work with children anymore. It's really not fair. All I was trying to do was take my son to school and go to work.
'These Insulate Britain protesters are middle class. They say they care about people and the country - so why would they want a single mum to lose her licence and her job?
'There is no one supporting the working class people who are trying to make an honest living and are working hard.'
It's hard not to agree with her every word. If only instead of being a hard working single mum, she was a coked-up boozed up plastic celebutard with an appalling record, she might have been shown leniency...
But instead of stuffing her expensive vehicle into a hedge while on a drug shopping trip, she had the temerity to express disapproval with the sloth shown by the state's agents. And that attracts the highest penalty...
An Essex Police spokesman said:'When dealing with these incidents, we police them without fear or favour in a manner to keep everyone at the scene safe and we have consistently said our priority is to keep our county's roads moving.'
Yet you consistently fail to do so. Why is that, then?
The charges come after seven Insulate Britain activists were spared jail yesterday after a judge handed them suspended sentences for breaching a government injunction to stop protesters blocking roads.
Did any of them get jail?
Two activists, Dr. Diana Warner, 62, and Dr. Ben Buse, 36, were handed jail sentences. Dr. Warner who yesterday failed to attend court while she blocked a train heading for Drax power station, accepted her guilt and was given a two month prison sentence.
Ah, yes. Because sneering at their powers is the only thing the state's agents care about...
If any of these 'principled' protesters can be hindered and delayed as they try to go about their normal business, then that too is legal

ReplyDeleteI think that this is what is known as a lie.
The Filth. A name to set one particular public 'service' aside from all others.
ReplyDeleteI have no sympathy for the roadblockers who have given the Government an excuse to bring in anti-protest legislation that could be used against us all. The IB's should have been removed and dealt with by the Police as soon as they arrived. However, being late for school is not a reason to intentionally run your car into someone at any speed, and the penalties for doing so are hopelessly inadequate. I would start with assault with a deadly weapon, and go as far as attempted murder, with a shedfull of penalty points or a ban for dangerous driving thrown in on top.
ReplyDeleteI hope this woman elects for a jury trial. She won't get convicted then. The public are sick of these idiot protesters.

ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea, actually - the trouble is, no-one wants to put in the effort, it seems.
"I think that this is what is known as a lie."
It's certainly a bit of a fib, isn't it?
"I would start with assault with a deadly weapon, and go as far as attempted murder, with a shedfull of penalty points or a ban for dangerous driving thrown in on top."
For nudging a middle class crustie? Bit over the top, no?
"I hope this woman elects for a jury trial. She won't get convicted then."
I'd hope so, but juries can be capricious...
