Your thread title is wrong, Northie. He hasn't been jailed, he's got a suspended sentence conditional upon him completing his community order, an entirely appropriate sentence for a first offender with a relatively low sum illegally obtained. He's also got no job.

Don't shoot the messenger, it's the paper's headline, not mine 😉

Sorry, Northie, you are the victim of inaccurate reporting, not its origin, so my comments should be directed at the Bucks Free press. My apologies.

And I would never shoot the messenger. Now I'm not a magistrate I can use hanging, drawing and quartering.🙂
