you'd doubtless have said the same thing about suffragettes a century ago.

Free the Super Glue Nine !

[New Judge]

Not really, Danny.

Those sentenced to three or four months will be out in 28 to 30 days. The one sentenced to six months will be out in six weeks. This is a result of the automatic release at the half way point coupled with "Home Detention Curfew" which sees them serve just a quarter of their sentence.

Since all these nuisances have avowed to continue offending, it's not a sufficient punishment.

[bednobs]

unfortunately its behind a paywall for me. I just got to the "hungerstrike" bit before it cut off, but oh dear!

[DTCwordfan]

double it up each time if they try again......

[dannyk13]

jno, What do you suggest, that we give them a medal?.The suffragettes did not cause the disruption to everyday life as these morons did.

[dannyk13]

NJ, at least it's a start.

[naomi24]

Gosh! I'd have thought even you would take the cause of the Suffragettes more seriously than that, jno.

[bednobs]

(some of) the suffragettes would be considered terrorists by today's standards

[jno]

indeed they would, and they were, bednobs. Putting bombs in Wetminster Abbey and St Paul's, disrupting the Derby, smashing windows in Oxford St. But without them women still wouldn't have the vote. (And if it hadn't been for men getting King John at swordpoint, men mightn't have it either.)

I am not surprised in the slightest by jno.

Justice may not have been as much as I would like but it is a start as you say Danny. I suspect some of these will struggle in jail and if the silly lady wants to go on hunger strike she will only make it worse for herself among the other inmates.

Even with short jail sentences they will have problems in other ways. For a start they will have to admit they have been jailed to their home and car insurance, some companies will not take them on.

[andy-hughes]

They will see themselves as martyrs - delusion is free and boundless.

[Lie-in King]

For now, a decent result.

[youngmafbog]

They will AH, but there wont be many others (apart from jno it seems) who will agree with them being martyrs. So who cares!
