"Democracy"
in action.
Reminds
me of the old anti-Soviet joke:
Westerner:
"I can go up to Harold Wilson any time and tell him how bad he
is"
Soviet:
"I can go up to Brezhnev any time and tell him how bad Harold
Wilson is"
Soon
they will have special places for the likes of Mr. Rodger, “for his
own protection” (sic)
Stuart
Rodger sentenced for shouting at David Cameron
A
man who shouted "no public sector cuts" at David Cameron
during a speech in Glasgow has been ordered to carry out 100 hours of
community service.
BBC,
2
November, 2015
Stuart
Rodger, 23, hid in a toilet at the Grand Central Hotel before
bursting into a room where the prime minister was addressing
Conservatives.
He
was tackled by aides before being led away by Special Branch.
Rodger,
from Fife, was previously fined £200 for hitting Deputy Prime
Minister Nick Clegg with blue paint in Glasgow.
During
an appearance at Glasgow Sheriff Court, the former Lib-Dem political
activist admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by
violating a security cordon, shouting and failing to desist,
attempting to approach Mr Cameron and causing fear and alarm.
He
was handed a community payback order with the condition he has to
carry out 100 hours of community service.
Security
cordon
This
was reduced from 150 because of his guilty plea.
Procurator
fiscal depute John Slowey told the court Rodger hid in a toilet prior
to making his entrance on 31 July.
It
was heard he shouted "No ifs, not buts, no public sector cuts."
Mr
Rodger's lawyer said the "security cordon" he got past was
someone asking if he had a pass, and Mr Rodger had only gone a few
metres into the room.
Rodger
was previously fined £200 after breaching the peace by hitting Mr
Clegg with blue paint during a visit to Glasgow earlier this year.
