Last month, I posted how anti-Zionist-not-antisemite Simone O’Broin was convicted of being drunk on an aircraft and assault by beating.
Today, she was sentenced to 6 months jail.
An international human rights lawyer who launched a shocking drunken racist tirade on a plane where she spat at a flight attendant has been jailed for six months.
Simone Burns, 50, form Hove, known as Simone O’Broin was arrested in November 2018 after she abused Air India staff on a flight from Mumbai to London.
She pleaded guilty to assault, and to being drunk on an aircraft, at her trial last month.
Today at Isleworth Crown Court in London the judge sent her to prison for six months for being drunk on an aircraft, with an additional sentence of two months for the assault to be served concurrently.

Burns, who lives in Hove, pleaded guilty to being drunk on an aircraft and assault by beating at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in March. She was sentenced today at Crown court after magistrates said the offence was too serious for them to deal with.
Chairing the bench last month, Robert Della-Sala told Burns: ‘You clearly put the safety of the aircraft in jeopardy by smoking. You were disruptive to other passengers who must have found the whole experience quite shocking.
‘The disruption was clearly over a long period of time, the level of racist abuse was prolonged and unwarranted – there’s no excuse for that.
‘The spitting in the face must have been one of the most awful things that can happen to anybody, given the transmission of diseases.’
According to a friend of a friend who was there, O’Broin launched into another tirade in court. She clearly has trouble curbing her temper…not to mention her smoking addiction.
Meanwhile, just sayin’:
