Horrible that inconveniencing commuters can lead to a jail sentence, too, though Plummer was also handed a three-month sentence for her part in a slow march which caused long tailbacks in west London in November 2023 and in July, just five days after her guilty verdict, Plummer was arrested for spraying paint on...
