Four years in prison then! Ooft.

And how long will he actually serve?

Probably a year, and then out on license. Usually how it works with low risk offenders if they have behaved themselves whilst inside.

I remember the cheers when Clegg went and labour/Jared got the seat. Oh dear, egg on faces all round now.

I didn't vote for O'Mara (never voted labour in my life) but I'll admit I was delighted to see the back of Clegg.

 

Anyway 4 years....nice one judge 👍

Question for his Labour voters: did you not know for whom you were voting?

Or is it like Caligula's horse...

That's the problem with our system.  Round where I used to live I had a brilliant local Conservative MP.  He was all about helping the people, he didn't have his snout in the trough, he wasn't self-serving, but was the best person to support his constituency.   

 

If he was still an MP I'd loved to vote for him, but would be reluctant to give the national party my vote

 

I'm sure David Amess was the same.

Better than I thought.

Obviously a bit gutted he didn't go on the run though.

Sadly, for the most part, people vote for 'The Party' and it doesn't matter if a lunatic is selected as the representative, they still get in. 

Not in this case; his vote was driven by spite against Clegg.

Agreed, Jim, but surely there were slightly better candidates than O'Mara? Which brain-cell deficient individual/group of individuals picked him - did they not see the obvious mill-stone they were putting round their own necks?

 

I thought the NEC was composed of competent individuals?

Isn't the rule that for sentences of that length, you'd serve half in prison and half on license?   So two years in prison?

I believe this is why people voted for him (Labour) as people were so angry with Clegg and  ConDem pact with Cameron

No idea, assumed it was out after a quarter with another quarter on a tag.
