Title: Woman sentenced for hurling milkshake at Farage
Post by: Nearly Sane on December 16, 2024, 05:15:13 PM

Suspended sentence. Seems fair enough to me but many upset because apparently it's two tier justice. My take is that we put too many people in prison anyway.

Quote from: The article

Following her sentencing, Farage posted on social media, external: "We now live in a country where you can assault a Member of Parliament and not go to prison."

He can't stop lying even when he's won: he wasn't an MP at the time.
