Jailhouselawyer's Blog

A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Hull Cheese brawlers given total five-and-a-half years

Hull Cheese brawlers given total five-and-a-half years

Five men have been jailed for their part in a mass brawl, which resulted in a notorious Hull criminal getting knocked unconscious.

The violence ended with a notorious Hull criminal getting knocked unconscious and taken to hospital.

Now, five men have been jailed for a total of five-and -a-half years for their part in the brawl.

Three others have been given suspended prison sentences.

Recorder Henry Prosser, sitting at Hull Crown Court, said the violence must have been "frightening and terrifying" for anyone looking on.

One group had been watching Hull City play Chelsea last February and went to the Hull Cheese public house, in Paragon Street, city centre, to carry on drinking after the game.

They then started a mass brawl in the bar after spotting criminal Derek George, who was in the pub celebrating his son's 18th birthday with some friends.

The two groups began fighting with each other, throwing bar chairs and tables.

Eight men were arrested, including Derek George's son Ben.


I only posted this because I was curious as to what a Hull Cheese brawler is...

John Hirst Hull, East Yorkshire, GB "Who is John Hirst?" the Sun online questioned the day after the UK lost its appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR in the prisoners votes case. The profile was not very informative nor flattering. But, I don't like the Sun either so we are quits. I was born, at 2 I was put into Dr Barnardo's Homes. What they called care, we refer to it as physical and sexual abuse. I drifted into crime, and spent 35 years in prison. In spite of the system, I reformed and rehabilitated myself with the support of some within and outside of the system. I was transformed from a law breaker into a law-maker. I am firmly committed to prisoners rights, and am a campaigner for penal reform. I live in a 3 bedroom terrace house within a cul-de-sac, and have a dog as a companion. My Latvian friend keeps invading my space and telling me I need a wife. She does keep the house clean and tidy, but loves my dog and calls him her boyfriend... Recently, Viking FM have asked for advice and reports for the news on radio on Criminal Justice issues. In addition, I used to write regularly for Inside Time the National newspaper for prisoners.
