I think the first paragraph of your response goes a long way to explaining the second paragraph

HE never got the money and was smart enough to move the house into his wife's name about 5 years ago. Financially he is untouchable.

His wife clearly has Stockholm syndrome, 25 people turned up and said he was pumping around and she still sat there standing by her man. I really felt sorry for her that she had to go through that.

I'm sure the NOTW will be pulling out massive 'revelations' on Boxing Day.

I hope he gets 4.

Probably not far off the mark. While I have no sympathy for TS - I have to question why Perjury is treated so harshly by the courts, when other, more serious crimes seem to get lesser punishment. Rapists and killers (manslaugher) can get shorter sentances.

Prison time is supposed to keep dangerous people off the streets, or as a last resort when offenders refuse other forms of punishment.

No - 4 years of weekend community service would be far better.

No point giving him a fine - the NotW will shortly bankrupt him anyway.

I still don't understand why you care, you don't ever come across as a bleeding heart.

Oh FFS.

I do not like seeing poor people manipulated for political ends, I would never be described as a bleeding heart but I think people should always be given the chance to improve and better, he encouraged people to go to prison. If he really wanted to support the people of that area he would have been trying to get the unmotivated motivated, the jobless jobs, the junkies clean.

Instead he takes on the news of the world claiming he never shagged around when we all know he shagged around. Stupid arse. IF he was the man of the people he could have fought for the people rather than spending our hard graft on 12 weeks of trial on an ego trip. I hope he gets 4.

Sorry, you are wrong, nobody in my family has ever been convicted of a crime. I just see the bloke for what he is, a snake oil salesman who promised daft people in housing schemes that by the time the tax man got to them he would have 'ripped down to tory goverment' and charges would be dropped. He went to prison and many stupid people who got whipped up by his fervour also got sent down, he told them to spend the money and they did and when they could not pay it was the jail.

This sounds like someone in your family was daft and you are bitter about it. Lots of people didn't pay the community charge and they didn't go to prison.

You're a pretty tough guy yourself making spurious anonymous bets with strangers on the internet, to prove yourself.

Doogie, been have been through this before, you are not in the big league, stop trying to pretend you are.

I probably place several thousands a year on bets and placed about 5 grand over the World Cup this year. I think I named all, or most of my bets, on threads during that period before kick off. I make a shed load from gambling.

A 500 quid bet is nowt to me. I have spoken to incognito by PM and the bet is now 50 quid and the winnings go to chaaarity.

I care because he sent many people to prison on his advice to further his career, he convinced many people that not paying tax was a great idea and they went to prison and could never get a step up for the rest of their life as they would not be employed due to a criminal conviction. I see him as a profiteer on the poor as much as slum landlords are. Socialist my arse, political gangster.

[d000hg]

If you are so rich why did you back down from a 500 quid bet? oh internet hardman? I can do a 500 quid bet, you seem to struggle with that,

Is this the fella who was on Big Brother?

That's the one.

[minestrone]

Why should you care?

Sheridan stayed in a very nice house down in Pollok and convinced everyone in the local scheme not to pay the Poll Tax, loads of people went to jail on his advice. He was probably instrumental in stopping the poll tax as Scotland got it a year early and England followed our lead.

Shagger basically, fanny, and a Liar. Got caught.

30 second summation.

Why should you care?

[minestrone]

Briefly, who is this pleb and why do you hate him so much?

Briefly mind.
