Man jailed after throwing a plastic bottle and swearing at police during protests in Portsmouth
Del Somerville, 42, has been jailed for two years at Portsmouth Crown Court after pleading guilty to violent disorder after throwing a plastic bottle and swearing at police during an anti-migrant protest in Portsmouth, Hampshire, on September 6.
Have you ever noticed we live in a country where a 95-year-old man can walk into a mud pit in Chicago, call his band The Fuckers, and start reciting “Enter Sandman” like he’s giving a TED Talk from the afterlife?
William Shatner. Ninety-five. Riot Fest. Douglass Park. Thirty-five minutes. Spoken-word heavy metal. In the mud. With people cheering like this is normal.
It is not normal. It is magnificent.
He did “Crazy Train.” He did “Ace of Spades.” He did Metallica. Not sang them. Talked them. Like Captain Kirk got trapped in a guitar amp and decided to negotiate with Satan instead of the Klingons.
Behind him: actual musicians. Marcus Nand. Phil Soussan. Grown men who have paid rent with real notes while a nonagenarian stands there going, “What the F is heavy metal?” and somehow makes it a question worth answering.
Brian May is on the record. Tony Iommi is on the record. The album is called *What the F Is Heavy Metal?* which is the most honest title in music since someone first admitted most of it is just louder complaining.
The crowd ate it up. Of course they did. We will watch a man old enough to remember radio as furniture stand in wet dirt and dare death to tap him on the shoulder. Death probably took one look, said “I’m not dealing with this today,” and went to find someone easier.
You’re never too old to live out your dreams. That’s the line they always use. The real line is: most people quit the second it gets embarrassing. Shatner waited until embarrassing became the whole act, then sold tickets.

Well said Simon Jordan - who points out some inconvenient truths on illegal migration. And no, his commentary isn’t racist. He’s simply saying in blunt terms what millions of people are saying up and down the country. And no, they aren’t racist either.
This is exactly why road rage is never worth it. They pointed a fake weapon to scare him, which ended up costing them their lives. When the young cop realized he shot unarmed men and the cover-up failed, the guilt made him jump off the bridge.
Macklemore got fired for talking about Gaza. Theo Von said the quiet part out loud:
“Macklemore lost his job because he spoke up.”
“It feels like this is probably the biggest atrocity that we’ve witnessed in our lifetime on our phones.”
He made the distinction people pretend he didn’t: “The Israeli government… not the people of Israel. I’m not talking about Jewish people.”
Then he admitted the part nobody wants on camera: “We scroll past it on our phones. I do it. I do it too.”
“You can’t even get a 10-piece lemon pepper in Gaza because they stopped the food shipping.”
“They killed every reporter who was trying to report on the war.”
His close wasn’t political. It was a diagnosis.
“It’s a test to see how much uncomfort we can handle before we say something.”
