Suspended jail term after man threw cup at Farage
The Guardian
|August 29, 2024
A man has been given a suspended prison sentence after being convicted of throwing what appeared to be a coffee cup at Nigel Farage during the general election campaign.
Josh Greally, 28, was sentenced to six weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, at Barnsley magistrates court after throwing items at the Reform UK leader who was campaigning in the South Yorkshire town.
Greally, of Clowne, Derbyshire, was also ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work, 20 rehabilitation activity days, and pay £85 court costs and a surcharge of £154.
A district judge said the offence was serious enough to merit a jail term, but suspended the sentence as there was a "realistic prospect of rehabilitation".
