News just in from our court correspondent…
Paul Staines, AKA Guido Fawkes will be taking an enforced break from blogging of, maybe 4-6 weeks depending on prison overcrowding, after being sentenced to 3 months imprisonment for a second drink driving offence in the four years.
False Alarm, folks – it’s a 3 month curfew order. My bad, misinterpreted jokey reference to 3 months ‘hard bending’ as reference to a stint inside.
Elsewhere, our Parliamentary correspondent has this report from the House of Commons:
Mr. Simon: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what his Department’s policy is on blogging by prisoners.
Maria Eagle: There is no policy on prisoners contributing to blogs. Prisoners do not have direct access to the internet, other than under controlled circumstances or for specific educational purposes, which is via controlled connectivity to secure NOMS accredited sites. NOMS policy on prisoner communications does, however, set out restrictions on material that prisoners may send if it is intended for publication.
And finally…
Responding to the question ‘Where’s the soap?’ Mr Staines ruefully replied.
“I expect it does but you really can’t go without some sort of lubricant’
Chicken Yoghurt says he got a 3 month curfew order, not jail. Which one of you is correct?
Well, which is it? Three month’s imprisonment, or a three month curfew?
3 months and not being able to go out on the piss? He’ll love that…
What a pity he wasn’t sentenced to 6 months for his 2nd drink driving offence.
Fucking BASTARD Government! I wanted my little Paulie inside with me. I was going to call him ‘Julie’ and I wanted to platt his hair and love him.
I could strangle him all night long but it looks like someone else (SOME TWAT) is going to have to get it instead!
I wanted him in the showers. I wanted him in the Laaundry. I wanted him bent over something fucking stupid!
This fucking Liberal Nancy Government lets all the crooks loose when we all know they should be locked up with me.
But there’s time yet! He can’t stop breaking the law and he’s in the ‘last chance saloon’ and I’ll be waiting for him for as long as it takes. They don’t hang my sorts anymore.
Good decision by the beak, three months without an evening in the pub and three years off the road sounds appropriate to me. Libertarians, too, will no doubt be delighted that the State will not be funding his board and lodging. He’ll just have to get tanked up at home, misbehaviour limited to veering all over the hall carpet.
What’s the penalty when he transgresses?
All 12″ of me!
What’s the penalty when he transgresses?
18 months imprisonment.
Please, please, don’t start being a goody two shoes now Guido. Show contempt for the law…
A very interesting outcome. Anything to do with overcrowded prisons?…
Um. Not sure quite how nice it is to be wishing violent sexual assault on someone really.
I’m generally agin it. Depends on the circumstances and body count.
For instance, I don’t think Staines rates a wish in that direction, but Karl Rove does:
