Agree with Worthing Wire, community service for a few years in the town centre would have been much better sentence. Make them wear high visibility vests so that we can all scoff.
What a plonker!

'I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!! I even went to the trouble of releasing said prediction as a song! IDIOTS!!!'

You do realise that insight and incite have completely separate meanings don't you?

How can four years be an apt sentence for this type of crime, no one in their right mind could think that. I wonder what sort of sentences are being handed out to those involved in the phone hacking scandal, anyone remember that?

With any hope, he'll be thrown into a cell with a black man called Bubba holding a plate of butter.

I'm saying it was too harsh. Just a publicity stunt anyway and it will probably be reduced dramatically when appealed.

If it helps prevent any other little wastes of space starting riots, endangering lives and forcing people out of their homes then it's the right sentence.

Completely agree that it's a publicity stunt and Camerons way of pretending to be tough on crime, but I back it completely.

you'd know about lying, i land in spain friday morning, fancy meeting up???(not)

Ohhh, this poor ickle lamb. My heart bleeds for him. He'll miss his mummy and daddy for 4 years. Hard excrament!!!
At least the streets of Warrington will have one less peice of vermin walking around them for a few years.

There's a well known phrase "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime". Lock the little scrote up for the full 4 years of his sentence. Not a day less for "good behaviour" (I really hate THAT expression, when refering to prison sentences).

Let's not forget, this little scrotum has told other people to go and DESTROY areas of our society, endangering the lives of our emergency services in the process. Oh, and for those who think it's a little too far to jail him, just remember, IF this little turd had got his wish, and his verminous Facebook friends turn up and trash the the town...who pays for the out come....YES, that's right, you and me. When businesses lose stock/tradetime due to this, they put up their prices. If insurance is claimed, insurance companies consequently have to put up THEIR prices because they've had to shell out.

And now we come to today's Guardian, where said vermin's best mate says "There will be trouble after this. People will riot. It will all kick off now he's gone". Another one from the same stock by the sounds of it, who sounds like HE's inciting other people to riot now, because his scumbag mate's got what was coming to him.
Looking through the next few pages of the paper, we've got a MURDERER (let's not use that pathetic excuse of manslaughter) who's got seven years for killing a "friend", an arsonist (who could have potentially killed 2 people), a druggie who beats up someone over bags of washing, a couple of sexual assaulters...delightful, and some prick making letter bombs.

I say LET THE COURTS GET TOUGH.
As I said earlier...if you can't do the time, don't do the crime

Also this...

Its funny how some people think this is an overly harsh sentence.

If their names had been Mohammed and Abdullah and they'd started a group on facebook saying riot in the name of Allah to get shariah law in the UK, smash up the non believers businesses, I wonder if people would have been sympathetic!

excellent post,,and i could`nt agree more,all this crap about prisons being full.its simple build a prison in fact more prisons and take away their x boxes computors and the like..they are in there for a reason..treat them like they should be treated..you never know these scrotes might just think twice before stepping out of line

Prisons....build them, and THEY will come
