Such dicks.

Two years in prison and/or a fine.

And 'cos she's one of Cameron's pals, she'll be out after say 4 months...

Either way, it's nice to see scum like her brought up against the courts.

Its not just Brooks, its the other 6 as well. They are all a bunch of scummy hacks who have been parading about as respectable members of society.

I think Nelson speaks best for me.

Mind you, they won't actually be punished with anything but still...

I wonder if they will suffer the tough justice so often heralded in their newspapers. Bread and water, No cushy life in prison for them. What's good for the goose.

All of this himmin and hawin and the real crook, the head of the snake was never harmed.
But you did get someone, sort of.
