Gordon R Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago He didn't just punch him. He knocked him to the floor and continued his cowardly attack. That is why he is inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on this forum has probably seen this exact scenario play out dozens of times in pubs up and down the country. Keep in mind that criminals possessing indecent images of children are usually spared jail, I think it puts into context that this punishment is unduly harsh. The guy acted no better than a thug and got exactly what he deserves. he continued to belt the other guy while he as down, so taken a bit further than the usual excuse of self defence, especially when the other guy was only mouthing off about something he considered wrong and hadn’t thrown a punch. We can’t all go round acting like the average drunken thug just because we are drunk. He is in a prominent position and should act accordingly whether having a bevvy or not. He could have just walk away from the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's time got to do with this,. A person (a government minister) threw punch and there was a bit of a scuffle in both cases. Was Prescott charged or jailed.?

TOPGUN749 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Now today we hear he will continue to get his £1,800 a week salary in jail! How many of us would continue being paid when not doing their job? How corrupt this country is! Our taxes paying him to not be working at what he was elected to for. He should be doing hard labour unpaid,and dismissed immediately last October ..How the ‘Elites’ get such privileges! On 28/10/2024 at 09:01, Newbie to this said: It definitely looks like a sustained violent attack, he only stopped because other members of the public intervened. Going by the CCTV, the man he attacks does not look to be acting in a violent manner, and the MP makes no attempt to walk away. He then attacks the guy, (who's hands are down, maybe in his pockets), when his attention is elsewhere. This definitely looks to be assault! Of course it was violent assault! That’s the level of MP’s we have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B686 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago If that’s a harsh sentence, what does that make some of the sentences dished out to people in the riots after the stabbing of the little girls. And people locked up for posts on facebook and the like . Lots of people got much longer sentences for not even physically touching anyone. He got off lightly compared to those people. It’s not like he hit him and just left it at that is it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in someone’s face mouthing off, while both of us were drunk, I would have a reasonable expectation that the situation might turn violent. Hardly the same as a random attack.
