Pat told the court that for candidates PAT Arrowsmith has been cleared on the first obstruction charge she faced after her general election campaign in Pat, who stood against Callaghan Socialist, was aerested twice aurug te run-up to tac election — once 'when addressing meeting in a shopping centre, and the when holding a picket outside an army recruitment centre. It was in connection with the second acquitted == Court on "during a general election meeting it is norma to address street meetings and I had a right to do this and people had a right to hear me speak'. Arrowsmith's lawyer, Brian Rose-Smith, added that it was normal for politicians to go on walk-abouts and that this was never considered obstruction.

The court seemed to accept these arguments, although the police case was so weak that acquittal was always on the cards.

Attention now switches to 6 July, when Pat appears in court over the incidents in the shopping centre. She has already made it clear that she will refuse to pay a fine or be bound over if convicted. And if she is sent to prison she has declared that she will go on immediate hunger strike.
