Is the British justice system a disgrace?
BRITISH justice was branded a disgrace last night after a respected village councillor was prosecuted for standing up to the yobs who plague our streets.
Retired postmistress Alma Harding was landed with a criminal record for clipping the foul-mouthed thug round the head with her rolled-up committee papers.
She has also been handed a £3,000 legal bill for tackling the vandal and his friends who shouted a stream of four-letter abuse at her.
The 63-year-old choir member, pictured above, confronted the 13-year-old as he was playing football near prize-winning flowerbeds on the village green.
But after she asked him politely to move to the nearby playing fields, the teenager snarled back, calling her a “f****** fat b******”.

* Should Mrs Harding have been CONVICTED for standing up to a FOUL-MOUTHED thug?
