I thought prison sentences were reserved for vilolent, dangerous or persisent offenders.

Obviously depends on who you offend :rolleyes: :D

In view of the home secretatary saying only send hardened crims to jail it is obvious the judge never took any notice

if ever a large fine was approiate this was the case increased the prison population by two I am sure these two were not dangerous and no fear of them mugging anybody or robbing a bank a complete waste of resources no wonder the prisons are full

while I am it do you realise there are 2000 prisoners in prison who have never committed a crime. well

It just gets better.Er, I mean it just gets 'worse'.

Non-Muslim phone tap conspiracy!!!

Still, he must be relishing going to jail, 'cos it's a life of luxury these days, isn't it? Isn't it?

I'm trying to think up a good Sun-style headline for this:

"Wills shrill over our phone spill"

"Royals fight back after shady phone hack"

"Gotcha! Prison for person who pried on prince"

:rolleyes:
