18 months is too long for that amount, if it was benefit fraud he might only get a few months. I expect an appeal to get it down substantially.

He could have been given 7 years, far more appropriate IMHO - but he pleaded guilty, plus no criminal record even though is CV says he worked as MP...

You expected Australia to beat England, I should leave the forecasting to Mystic Meg.

I'm waiting for that imbecile Elliott Morley, the ex-Rt Hon MP for Scunthorpe, to get his.

He played a major part in wrecking our farming and fisheries industries.
