For once a judge has imposed an adequate punishment for a crime, in this case attacking a policewoman (from behind) with a sledgehammer.
I imagine he and his friends didn't expect that.

I lifted this from the other thread:

‘The offenders will not qualify for early release from prison provisions and the Parole Board will assess their risk to the public when it determines when they can be set free.
All four will also serve an additional one year on a licence in the community at the end of their terms.’

So pleased, but awaiting the angst from his supporters on here

Yes - hitting people with a hammer is not peaceful protest, and I am glad that’s been confirmed.

SerenaCat93 · 13/06/2026 08:17

I don't see how seven years is adequate for attacking someone with a sledge hammer!?

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 13/06/2026 08:16

Oh good! I was shocked at the attempts to defend his behaviour. Couldn’t have been more clear cut.

He should have got longer for that but pleased to hear this.

NotDarkGothicMama · 13/06/2026 08:14

I was very pleased to read about it yesterday. Just what that nasty, violent arsehole deserves.

He'll be out in three years.

If you attack a woman with a sledgehammer you should get life.

No, because of the terrorism element none of them will be eligible for early release.

It’s been treated as a terrorist crime so he won’t be eligible for early release. It was a terrible crime and I’m glad he’s finally being sent to prison.

I thought he couldn't get parole?
