Pryce got the same. Sounds quite lenient to me, others have got 12-18 months for similar.
Bear in mind that they will only do half that so will be out in July.

She's got the same. Both going to open prisons out in 2/3 months with tags according to sky news crime reporter. At least they got some jail time.

Huhne got a 10% discount off the sentence for pleading
Both will also hopefully get to pay the costs of the case which are pretty hefty.
Incredible to think he could have been party leader and the deputy prime minister. What a mess.
Did i read he lost his licence about 4 months later anyway.

don't see the massive deal with it compared to some crimes, think jail is a bit harsh
Exactly.
Without this, there would little deterrent to lying and altering evidence in criminal proceedings.
This is also a good example of a level playing field. Their connections, money and status, did not get them off the hook or a lighter sentence than anyone else would have got.
Good day for the UK Justice System.

Replace the word gutted with stupid and I agree. Unbelieveably naive for someone in that position when you see the correspondence between her and the Sunday Times.
Personally I think the sentence is about right although I would also like it to include a public apology from both of them and some sort of explanation as to how they are going to redeem themselves. They have shown no remorse for completely lying (forget the charge itself which is commonplace) about what they did and shown every sign of thinking that they were above the law. And if it didn't cost the taxpayer more money i'd like them to be kept in there until they make a public apology that is genuinely credible. Both utter scumbags in my opinion and they represent exactly what is wrong about politicians, every bit as much as the expenses scandal.

Agree, typical NSC hang the B***ard thread, i think some on here are vicars and the rest are virgins.

I just think it's nice that they're doing something together for a change.
He'd only have to do 5 months if he got his missus to do 3 for him
