To be cheered up by Samuel Corner being sentenced to 7 years in prison?

That's true. He looks like he wants to eat the cat, except he's probably vegan.

I don’t understand how anyone can vote Green. Polanski is a parody of himself now.

Agreed - someone should do a welfare check on the cat.

He still looks like a psycho in the first one.

Wonder why they keep using the picture of Corner with the cat, not the other one.

The are not a serious party for anyone who cares about the UK rather than Gaza.

The Green Party are asking for an appeal as it’s too harsh?!! WTAF?!! He broke her spine!!!

It hasn't cheered me up. Only a win tonight for Scotland will do that. According to reports on X, one of the jurors at the first trial joined the protestors outside the court. I thought jurors were not allowed to discuss how they reached or not a verdict?

Absolutely agree with you, which is why it's frightening that so many women were behind Corbyn's PM campaign! Ooh Jeremy FFS.

Every single one of them - Polanski, Jones, Corbyn, McDonnell - would put dangerous men inside with the women who have just been convicted. They'd have them imprisoned alongside men convicted of sex offences, all in the name of their ideology.

That's what these men really think of those women.

I cannot stand those two hard lefties McDonnell and Corbyn. I don't think you can get more anti British than those two negative, treacherous wankers. Oh hang on, I will tag on Corbyn's early cheerleader
Owen tosspot Jones.

This is from the CPS

The Terrorism Act 2000 defines terrorism, both in and outside of the UK, as the use or threat of one or more of the actions listed below, and where they are designed to influence the government, or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public. The use or threat must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.
The specific actions included are:
serious violence against a person;
serious damage to property;
endangering a person's life (other than that of the person committing the action);
creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public; and
action designed to seriously interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.
The use or threat of action, as set out above, which involves the use of firearms or explosives is terrorism regardless of whether or not the action is designed to influence the government or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public or a section of the public.
Action includes action outside the United Kingdom.
It is important to note that in order to be convicted of a terrorism offence a person doesn't actually have to commit what could be considered a terrorist attack. Planning, assisting and even collecting information on how to commit terrorist acts are all crimes under British terrorism legislation

He should have got longer, but equally I am pleased it wasn’t a ridiculously short sentence, with the judge burbling about not ruining his life. That he will serve the full term is something. I wonder how he’ll cope in jail amongst the other terrorists.

Polanski and McDonnell show themselves yet again as utterly unfit to hold high office. No surprise there.

I have no doubt that @Ereshkigalangcleg is correct that Polanski is deliberately sending a signal with his remarks. That he believes there are sufficient numbers who’d agree with him to make this is a winning strategy highlights a huge problem in society.

Good. I mean I wish it was longer but at least he didn’t get off

I hope the 6% saying it's unreasonable just mean they think it's an unreasonably short sentence for the crime.

But 7 years is quite a good message to send out to his supporters.

Well said 💐💐🌸

It’s a 7yr 8 month prison sentence, with one year on licence at the end, and no potential early release.

He was found guilty of GBH without intent, the max sentence for that is 5 yrs (I assume the other conviction plus terrorism element added on the rest).
The jury found him not guilty of GBH with intent, which could have a longer sentence.

This isn't protesting against a genocide, it's blatant thuggery that involves fracturing a woman's spine with a sledgehammer.

I read he got 8 years, 8 months. The longer the better IMO.

No. But I bet that seven years is feeling pretty real and no amount of stuff going on outside will make it go faster.

Apparently 107 were!

As I said, he’s sending a message.

The shocking thing about Zack Polanski's post suggesting that the man who bludgeoned a female police officer with a sledgehammer didn't deserve prison is that Zack has previously been criticised in a letter by the Police Federation for ignoring this attack when talking about the case. He is deliberately ignoring the attack on the police, it wasn't an oversight.

The Judge gave a full explanation of why the crimes had a terrorist factor so I hope that sticks and is not diluted on appeal.
Many supporters tried to block the prison van taking them away. I believe some were arrested 😂and charged with supporting a terrorist organisation 😂.

Absolute lunatic. Great to see this example being set.

and shut up with your quoting from peaceful poets
