Good.

What's the issue?

 

[denso13]

Great stuff.

 

[pete01]

Was John Prescott jailed?

 

[denso13]

No, not charged with anything.

 

[Odds]

Why would Lord P. be charged with anything?
The crowd egged him on...

Quite right too...

If fact any thug whatever party they belong to or support should be jailed for a violent attack...

In this case it was with fists which got him 10 weeks...

I wonder what the sentence should be for hitting someone in the head with a potentially lethal weapon such as a heavy scaffold pole should be?

What do you think, mottie?

What do you think, mottie?

You don't tend to get a sentence when you have a valid defence - such as self defence, protection of property, prevention of crime, attempted citizens arrest etc etc. But I suspect you know this.

I think mottie was expecting people to complain about him being sentenced.

It's been said a lot by the law abiding majority on here. It doesn't matter what party anybody represents, they are not, and should not be, above the law.

 

[motorbiking]

Perhaps he was simply sharing the good news.

Ever heard of excessive force?

But I suspect you (like mottie) have conveniently forgotten this
