Yesterday the British justice was shown up for what it was, one level of justice for the privileged, and one for the not so privileged. Ex MP and government minister Chris Huhne and his ex wife Vicky Pryce were sentenced for perverting the course of justice. The sentences in my mind were totally inadequate for the crime that was committed. They were both sentenced to eight months in prison, however, that does not mean that they will actually spend eight months in prison. They could both be freed after just four months, and not only that, they could be out in two months to serve the rest of their sentence at home with an electronic tag attached to a leg. This case has dragged on for years with both Huhne and his ex consistently lying under oath. Eight years might have been more appropriate. I'm surprised they weren't tried in one of the secret courts that his party (Lib Dem) voted for last week. Business minister, Vince Cable said that the sentences were sad. Yes sad that they were not extensive enough.
Till next time.
