Cenotaph Protester Gilmour Jailed For Rampage

Charlie Gilmour, son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, has been jailed for 16 months for a drink and drugs-fuelled rampage during protests against student tuition fees.
The Cambridge University student admitted violent disorder after he was seen hanging from a Union flag on the Cenotaph and leaping on to the bonnet of a Jaguar car that formed part of a royal convoy.
Gilmour was also found to have thrown a rubbish bin at the vehicle.
Kingston Crown Court heard he had turned to drink and drugs after being rejected by his biological father, the writer Heathcote Williams, and had taken LSD and valium in the hours leading up to the violence.
Judge Nicholas Price QC said Gilmour's behaviour at the Cenotaph was "deeply offensive" and that his actions had caused public outrage.
He added that to "ignore what you did would be wrong, but to sentence you on it would be improper".
"What you did went far, far beyond proper protest."
Gilmour issued a public apology the next day after he was captured in photographs that showed him hanging from a flag on the Cenotaph.
He said it was a "moment of idiocy".
After he was identified he expressed his "deepest apologies for the terrible insult to the thousands of people who died bravely for our country".
In a statement at the time he said: "I feel nothing but shame. My intention was not to attack or defile the Cenotaph.
"Running along with a crowd of people who had just been violently repelled by the police, I got caught up in the spirit of the moment.
"I feel additionally mortified that my moment of idiocy has distracted so much from the message (the) protest was trying to send out."

Maybe, LL - but I would think even a week in jail is going to be a very short, sharp shock for the brat. He will be regarded as a privileged little snot who desecrated a memorial to the nation's war dead - even criminals are none too keen on that sort of thing.

He's gonna learn the hard way how to bend over - assuming he doesn't know that already!
