TO Cosham, Porstmouth, where “angry mother” Julia Hazel is unhappy that her son’s car has been clamped. She’s filled a bucket up with porridge, frozen vegetables and food colouring to turn the mixture bright yellow and gone to the car park at the back of the Iceland store in Old Market Road. She’s waiting. No, not for Kerry Katona. She’s waiting for the clamping firm City Watch to arrive.

When tehy do so, Julia pursues the clamper with her bucket of goo. She then emptyies the contents over the seats of his van. All the while her pal Vicki Hamlyn films.

Says Julia:

“I got a call from my son to say he had been clamped, even though he had left his car for literally two minutes so he could get change for the meter. The situation was disgusting enough but what infuriated me was overhearing the clamper in the background saying ‘are you going to get mummy then are you?’. At that point I saw red. My son didn’t have the money to pay so I had to go down and hand over the money or else they were going to tow his car away. Afterwards I realised something needed to be done. I don’t regret it and I believe I was sticking up for everyone who has been affected by the clampers. Someone was being clamped at the time so it spurred me on. Everyone has thought about doing the same. People in the car park were cheering and clapping.’ Police ordered Julia to pay £60 in compensation to City Watch Enforcement for cleaning of uniforms and its van.
