hardly - hes learnt his lesson is not a threat to the public and will find it hard to work again - why do i need to pay to keep him in jail now?
You make fair points. Can't we at least flog him or put him in stocks for a week or so though?petemurphy said:

Why even bother putting him in prison? Whats the point of prison anyway? Whats the point of imposing a sentence if it's not going to be served anyway ?Oh stuff it, lets just let everybody out, it's all a waste of money anyway, people can now be free to do what they like with impunity....happy now ?

I think many Tory MP have got away with this stuff big-time because it got lost in their generally enlarged and complicated financial circumstances. Labour MPs were much more exposed.

pete have you have been in prison if no then how do you make this statement ?By the way I think if the courts sentence you then you should serve all the time they ordered, regardless of what crime as they would have already taken that into account.

from a dear friends experience..By the way I think if the courts sentence you then you should serve all the time they ordered, regardless of what crime as they would have already taken that into account.
i know what you say makes sense although there should be time taken off for good behaviour as that benefits everyone. that said i dont think people appreciate its the process and the fact hes been to prison that will be the punishment not whether its 12 month compared to 4 imho. the punishment will last a lifetime.

Quoted, as it's an interesting point but I simply don't believe it. The wealth of the socialist CUNextTuesdays who ruined our country is discgraceful given the policies the pedelled, and the only extra exposure they gain is to the ridicule of the waiting electorate. Oli.
