BBC: Charlie Gilmour jailed for student fees demo violence

Charlie Gilmour, son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, has been jailed for 16 months for a rampage at a student fees protest in central London.

Gilmour, 21, was accused of throwing a bin at a convoy of cars containing Prince Charles, sitting on a protection officer's car and smashing a window.

The Cambridge University student, of Billingshurst, West Sussex, was bailed in May so he could finish his exams.

Kingston Crown Court heard he had taken LSD and valium before the incident.

Gilmour was among thousands of people who protested in Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square on 9 December 2010.

But what does Peter Dow say?

What made me laugh were the reports of him being 'out of his mind on LSD, had taken Valium and a large quantity of alcohol'!

That's exactly how I expect a Toffee Apple Red Fender Stratocaster to sound.

Cant do that and not expect to be punished really.
