Man Jailed For 16 Weeks After Setting Off Fireworks At Remembrance Event
A man has been jailed for 16 weeks after he set off fireworks at a Remembrance Sunday event.
Stuart Potts let off two fireworks as the Last Post ended and hundreds of people stood observing a two-minute silence for the war dead at the cenotaph in Eccles, Salford, on Sunday.
Mr Potts fired the fireworks while sat on the ledge of a first-floor window of a disused pub being used by squatters.
I somehow doubt that a short spell in jail will reform Mr Potts. But he will be nice and warm for Christmas, unlike many former soldiers sleeping rough.
