The jailing of John Waters

Sir, – The stand taken by John Waters for being fined for illegal parking hardly attracts much public civic spirit (Home News, September 4th). After all, Waters was 16 minutes after the allotted parking time. Contesting the decision of the court when he is clearly in the wrong is a futile waste of time and money, and is nothing more than a publicity stunt to attract attention to himself. Far better for him to engage his pen in protest. – Yours, etc,
