Yeah I saw what the magistrate had written but realised it was a load of nonsense:
"I was just going hunting, your honour".
The spokesperson tried defending the indefensible. He was never gonna come out and say 'yep we've gone rogue against Parliament's wishes but so what'.
As for the case you posted, I can't really answer whether the judge has sentenced the defendant more harshly in relation to somebody who committed the same offence against a white offender for example, which is the crux of what the two-tier policing allegations centre on. If you can find me a comparable case then I might be inclined to change my mind? I've found a case where somebody has clearly incited hate, violence, and murder but no evidence that he was arrested, let alone sentenced to the same length of offence.

Also, on a general point, when I said most cases don't fit the sentencing criteria as if it's 'a simple, mathematical process', that's because there is a huge amount of discretion built into the rules. Sentencing isn't a science and as much as judges try and invoke the rules to sound like it is, it's not. Hence why you get wildly different sentences for the same offence.
No, you’ve found a case of a satirist mocking Islamic extremism that the Mail initially reported on inaccurately, had an IPSO complaint upheld against them and were forced to delete the article and issue an apology.
