Really not sure if he’ll go to jail. My understanding is that it’s uncommon for offenses such as these. But I’d also imagine that the massive loss in the unrelated civil fraud case might impact the sentencing hearing.

I wonder what the history of this judges sentences are wrt crimes such as these.

EDIT: well, the Republican presumptive nominee and former president of the USA is now a convicted felon and sex offender.

Not sure but personally threatening the judge and his family probably has not given the judge a reason to be lenient.

Isn't it.

Starmer doesn't have a leftwing bone in his body. He's a power hungry narcissist who will do whatever his paymasters want him to.

You’re probably right, unfortunately. I try and stay optimistic. I quit the party after the way they treated Corbyn, who’s my local MP.

I quit soon after Starmer got in. I saw where it was going when he sacked Rebecca Long-Bailey, though his actions have been worse than anything I suspected.

That didn't stop them begging for donations for years to come, only stopped when I raised a complaint.

Starmer has turned the Labour Party into an actively antisemitic organisation. Jews and the state of Israel are constantly conflated, and record numbers of left wing Jews have been kicked out or just told to leave -another reason for me to stay gone - that's to say nothing of their racism, islamophobia etc etc.

Until the Tories mutate into their inevitable next stage - The Reform Party with better funding- you can barely get a rizla between them. Fucking grim.
