It looked like she was obstructing the highway to me, why was she arrested if she was not?

The charges I believe were wilful obstruction and it was ruled she would have moved if an emergency required it

And some obstruction of a public order act, and I believe it was ruled the authorities had not advised anyone their were areas they had approved for demonstration and areas not approved. So she had no chance to abide by the rules as they were unknown.

So Lucas and her followers did all they could to break the law and cause an obstruction but the police and council screwed that up by being incompetent! Sounds about right

can we prosecute the Green party for Obstruction to traffic in Brighton ? they should be banged up for crimes against Brighton citizens

Yes, because traffic jams in Brighton were invented by the Green Party.

Would that include her four co-defendants and the dozens of others (none of whom are 'politicians') from the same protest who have also been cleared?

Sorry Big Boy but that doesn't wash me I'm afraid. Find a politician not guilty then you have to find the non politicians not guilty as well. If Caroline wasn't involved then you can bet your house on the non politicians protesters would have been found guilty.

And to be honest I expected that outcome as all politicians are innocent aren't they and can never do no wrong. It's only the public who are criminals.

Take the politics out of the equation and she has been found not guilty in a court of law. It's justice, deal with it.

I am not sure peaceful demonstration counts as 'all you can do to break the law', I would think to do this they would have to take more direct action such as, break into the site, destroy property and machinery and assault police and staff. It does sound like the authorities in charge were rather incompetent in dealing with the site and subsequent protests against it.

There will be an explosion of anger over this shortly in Hove.

Hove's finest Thatcher spermatozoa will be conspicuous by his absence on here though.

No I won't deal with it. She'll be around the Magistrates house tonight eating fine food and fine wine and probably get an apology from the Magistrate for wasting Lucas time.

So what about the dozens of protestors from the same camp who have already been found not guilty?

Now you're sounding hysterical.

It's evident you don't believe in the concept of justice as you have already laid out plain your prejudices. I hope I never serve on a jury with you.

I'm not sure we'd have got Archer out without fracturing the odd law here and there.

I heard he has built his own DIY fracking machine and is busy drilling around the Green party offices right now trying to strike black gold.

Oh dear, I'll see if I can get a menu of tonight's feast for you, then hopefully you will self-combust saving the planet from your future Co2 output.

That ties back to Lucas. Lucas was going to be found not guilty either way so had to find anyone before her not guilty. Could you imagine the outrage if the protesters before her were found guilty and sent to prison and she got a not guilty, there'd be outrage. Would be interesting to see what the outcome would have been without Lucas involvement but we all know that outcome don't we.

You're correct. How about Maria Miller the Torie MP? Enough said.

If you've got evidence that the District Judge was somehow coerced into finding the defendants not guilty then please post it here (or if you're worried that the authorities will "nobble" you send it to me and I will take it up for you).
However I suspect you are talking bollocks.

To right it is and it'll carry on regardless what party you're in. They are a law above themselves.
