Hamish Howitt has been given a new date for his trial
Smoke ban rebel Hamish Howitt has been given a new date for his trial at Blackpool court. The licensee of the Happy Scots bar attended court today and was told to return on Novemeber 5th, when a district judge would be available.
Howitt has publicly challenged the authorities to prosecute him and says he is prepared to go to prison if need be.
David West, and business associate Harry Barnett, who are also flouting the ban, plan to back Howitt with a large protest outside the court.
Barnett said: “It’s going to be a big protest, we’re going to get everybody in the pro-smoking movement involved, including Freedom To Choose. It will be the biggest event of its kind and we hope to attract a lot of media attention.”
There is a very serious rumour that Hamish is going to change his name to Hamish Guy Fawkes by deed poll.
