It will have cost the public purse a huge sum to have put this GP in prison. Four years on from lockdown, she has gone to prison for non payment of a fine. The whole thing seems ludicrous.

Well no - she didn’t pay the fine and then spouted loads and f ‘free man’ bollox rather than engaging or offering to pay - so yeah she had a choice

those fined for parties elsewhere probably paid so didn’t go to prison
