A certain member would be posting every news report if it was an SNP politician.

if he was an SNP politician it'd be on the BBC news, STV news and every front page in the land.

And we would be equally as disgusted and widhing this vile creature the most heinous punishment. He would've been jettisoned by cannon as far from the party as possible, wonder if he is still in the Labour Party?

8 months, suspended for 2 years.

Absolute joke.

Great British Legal System eh?

In addition to a sexual harm prevention order, which is important.

There will be many who believe this to be a despicable sentence and others who default to ‘let them rot in jail’ / ‘castrate him’ forms of justice.  However, this depends on one’s notion of justice.  For me, justice would be ensuring he was not able to harm again (that’s where you can debate the effectiveness of the prevention order) in addition to a punishment (in this case, unpaid work, a lifetime of monitoring by the English equivalent of the public protection unit, and a reputation which will completely alter his once affluent way of life).
 

The sentence is far from a reasonable one when attempting to achieve revenge, but certainly a just one from a rehabilitation point of view.  The moralities of ‘managing’ sexual offences is complex and uncomfortable to navigate. It’s understandable why the ‘throw away the key’ narrative, in its eloquent simplicity is often drawn upon in these cases.

This is all way too sensible for these message boards.

He's obviously not wired right, his past behaviour as an MP has shown that.

For me given what came out in court he should be serving part of that sentence. I get the whole rehab thing but to say that because he was "drinking at the time" he couldn't remember emailing himself a link to that video and 2000 "peer to peer files indicative of downloading or looking at images of child abuse”......

Jail.
