Nah.
Reading between the lines she was clearly a habitual, confrontational and aggressive beggar. The euphemism "accosting" was employed and this breach of the court order was apparently mitigated by the fact she had not bean "aggressive" (presumably she has form for often being aggressive if that's all she's got for mitigation). As for the "fragile and vulnerable", don't take that literally. It means homeless/drug or drink dependence/mental health issues. It does not mean she can't look after herself on the streets or in the nick. Nor will it be her first trip to the nick. I do think it's shameful she had no legal representation, but it was a cut and dry case of a breach of a court order for persistent anti social behaviour, so I really don't think it would've helped. Nevertheless it is shameful. Absolutely everyone in the legal world hates any funding cuts to that world because that's where they make their bread, turkeys don't vote for Christmas. But yes, she ought to have had representation.

But 6 months for begging?
Seems a tad harsh.

Well, maybe.
But we weren't told how many times she'd been let off with warnings, ASBO, etc, or just how aggressive her modus operandi was. The fact that despite all his bleeding heart hand wringing and her being so very fragile and vulnerable he only reduced the sentence by time already served suggests to me she is more than a little bit of a cunt. I mean if you get remanded for such an apparently trivial matter you must have quite some previous.

Fuck me.
What those cunts at the Guardian choose not to tell you because it doesn't suit their agenda. Then mugs disseminate the shit further without the full facts. Truly, fake news. She still should have had legal representation despite being utter scum.
Good work, detective.

The left are as bent as the right.
No judge in the land would jail someone just for begging.

Must have thought some how it wasn't relevant.
