It doesn't work. I was jailed in 1998 for an 'offence' that doesn't ordinarily carry a custodial sentence. The week before this happened Vinnie Jones had been fined peanuts and set free for a much greater degree of the same offence, that of section 18 which does carry such a sentence. I mentioned this anomaly to my own barrister who looked straight at me, smiled, and said;
"Ah, but your not Vinnie Jones"
Several weeks after my imprisonment a 'Lord' somebody or other was involved in exactly the same scenario as I had been. Not only did he not receive a custodial sentence, but the whole case simply 'disappeared', never to be mentioned by the media again. Judges are human beings. Human beings are open to influence, be it by the media, masonic, or the behind the scenes manipulation of government agencies. This being so I accept no judgement as impartial, if it wouldn't happen to Tony Blair then it shouldn't happen to us.
