ISLE of Dogs parents will fight to block the return of a headteacher accused of putting one of her pupils in a store cupboard.

Cubitt Town Infants School head Nikki Daly was arrested in May last year following the incident last March, but was found not guilty by a crown court in February this year.

She still faces an internal inquiry over the case, but news of her possible re-instatement has enraged parents. A group of mothers began collecting signatures outside the school gates last Thursday.

A CATHOLIC priest jailed after a protest at a Docklands arms fair has vowed to continue his fight to shut it down.

Father Martin Newell spilled “rivers of blood” outside the DSEi international trade event at ExCeL London in September to depict the bloodshed caused by the arms trade.

He poured five litres of red paint onto the gangway, while fellow London Catholic Worker member Zelda Jeffers lay next to the fair’s check-in desk covered in red dye.

Fr Newell was sentenced to five days in jail last week after refusing to pay a fine for criminal damage. Ms Jeffers was sentenced to 14 days on Tuesday (March 25).

He said: “To pay this fine would be to co-operate with a system that is fuelling murder and mayhem around the world by promoting and protecting the arms trade.”
