At the moment there's a poll on the 'Telegraph' website posing the question, "Do you think the sentences being given to rioters are excessive?"
The total of Yes and No votes is 101%, 88%yes, 13% no. Seems the Telegraph aren't to good at maths, never mind reporting.:rolleyes:

It's just changed it's 85- 15 now.

Maybe they are all being jailed for stupidy rather than what they did.

If you become a concillor and screw the state of £12k you don't have to go to jail

To be honest the guy is just as deserving of a jail sentence as a looter or robber, or even more so:mad:
