Another court result to bring you – this time from the capital where a 41-year-old mother has been given a four-month suspended sentence after admitting a charge of assaulting an emergency worker during a demonstration in central London.

Video footage played to Inner London Crown Court this afternoon showed Kelly Wildego being handcuffed on the ground in Whitehall on 31 July.

Prosecutors said Wildego, of Harrow Manorway, Greenwich, shouted expletives at police officers and rushed at them after most of the violence had stopped.

Wildego admitted her conduct and expressed remorse during a police interview, prosecutor Alex Agbamu told the court.

Joseph Lord, defending, said Wildego is “wholly ashamed” of her actions and got herself arrested to be with her husband, who had been detained by police earlier.

Judge Freya Newbery handed Wildego a suspended sentence because she is a full-time carer for her 13-year-old son, who has learning difficulties.
