Danny Tommo

[Alex]

People might not agree with Danny Tommo and some may think his actions were completely uncalled for but why is bail being refused over a charge of criminal damage?  Is this really proportionate?
If there are concerns about risk, surely strict bail conditions could be imposed curfew, electronic monitoring, reporting requirements or restrictions rather than keeping someone on remand until a trial provisionally listed for March 2027.
He has not been convicted of anything.
So what exactly makes this charge serious enough to justify keeping him in custody for months?

Deterrence mostly.

That, and a warning to anyone else that such behaviour (ie protecting one's mother country) will be frowned on and dealt with harshly.
