the judges comments in relation this case, in particular -

""I have no choice but to impose an immediate custodial sentence to reflect the public outrage at what you have done."

but sentences aren't supposed to be in relation to public feelings on a particular issue are they?

the guy's clearly a total bellsniff but it sets a worrying precedent surely?
