Is it normal for there to be such a long delay before sentencing?

It always takes time to ketchup.

Sorry I am impatient for it, I can't help being keen as mustard.

They won't relish the outcome.

Dull as fuck, lads.

Anyway, did they catch the person/people who set the police officer on fire?

Unless that includes any food or drinks (and I cannot find it mentioned anywhere), that is pricey and off-putting.

When you go on to the Buy Tickets bit, it says;

Across three days, thousands of food lovers will explore anexciting playground of flavours featuring:

Signature dishes from the region’s best restaurants

Live cooking demostrations

Wine, spirits and craft beverage tastings

Sampling of sauces, seasonings and new snack products

Interactive games and food challenges

Live music and DJs and some special performances

Spaces to eat, drink and socialise.

I dare say there are plenty of eats to be purchased as well.

Eight men were due to stand trial at Birmingham Crown Court for their involvement in the violence.

But seven have now pleaded guilty to violent disorder, while an eighth admitted affray. Here are the details of what they did:

Jaroslaw Gredka, 50, of Leicester – He had his face covered, as he pushed a gate into police officers and dogs. He also carried a pole towards the police line and gestured to officers.

Gregorsz Grabon, 52, of Bridgwater, Somerset – Pushed a car park gate at officers as the violence continued.

Adrian Mitura, 35, of Warsaw, Poland – Kicked the gate towards officers.

Karol Talkowski, 35 – Threw an item at police.

Marchin Staniec, 32, of Poland – His face was covered as he threw items at police and brandished a branch over his head. He threw an item at police and pushed a bin at them.

Bartlomiej Szmytke, 23, of Poland – Pushed a bin towards officers in Witton Lane.

Doran Urbaniak, 42, of Leicester – He was at the front of the crowd in Station Road, threatening officers with his fists raised before throwing an item at the police. He was instrumental in maintaining the crowd’s hostility to police.

An eighth man, Mariusz Palka, 42, of Bristol, admitted affray after gesturing at officers as he refused to move away during the violence.

They will be sentenced in December.

Reads just like Bill Hicks' routine on English hooligans knocking over dustbins on Shaftesbury Avenue.... can't the charges be trumped-up to nail them for being racist thugs?
