Labour thug jailed.

If he had stopped after 1 hit I'd have some understanding, if there was a satisfactory reasoning for why he did it.

Continuing after, I can't see the justification. Went too far.

No problem with an appeal, and a delayed sentence if so, but no problem with the law being applied either.

he can apply for compensation if his appeal is successful.

The bloke probably deserved a whack

Not really the same as freedom though is it?

Not asking him to be released. As far as I'm concerned, if the system has worked correctly then prison is the correct place

I'm sure any reasoning would have been explained in the court

What did he say to him anyway, do we know?

 

[motorbiking]

The sentence seems broadly appropriate given the sustained attack, reference to his position of power, the fact he knocked him to the ground and kept going. As the Judge said.. sometimes such attacks are fatal.

I don't know

If the MP had been threatened then I can see the self defence case

But he went too far

He did but some people see red and some don't

No justification in my book

I agree, but we are all different

I agree, but we are all different

And the rules apply to all, regardless

And so they should

I agree.....OMG first time for everything

Category 2A assault - he might have got that reassessed as 2B. 6 months jail is highly likely for 2A and 10 weeks is still broadly acceptable for 2B.

He'll be out in under a month.

depends whether the victim is a Trump supporter or not............

Irrelevant you moron.
