Surely the sentences are raising awareness of climate change?

The pair caused £10,000 worth of damage to the gold-coloured frame of the glass-covered painting in the October 2022 attack.

Jesus Christ - they should have got 30 years! Still, you're technically correct, unlike the last time you BS'ed about pagers.

We only have the BBCs word for it that the damage caused was £10k worth.

The charge they were found guilty of was criminal damage to the value of less than £5000. The prosecutor said the damage was significantly below that threshold.

£10,000 is a plucked out of someone's arse figure.

This would've been easy enough for you to validate. Maybe you should stop making things up?

So BoniO asserts zero criminal damage, & you confirm there was. Good work :D

Batter would be stickier but soup probably stains.

If that turns out to be the case, then it will be an example of the judiciary being overtly political, which would be as bad as the unfairness of the length of the sentences relative to other crimes.

Roger Hallam and his disciples are bunch of f*ckwits. But that makes them an easy and unsympathetic target. As ever in these cases, people should always ask themselves how they'd feel if this happened to people they felt more aligned to.

*or in any other field - but that's never stopped me from wading in before.
Just checking:

Being against the political influence behind the severity of the sentences of JSO activists - Are we to apply that principle universally? For example, some of the sentences handed down to people found guilty of incitement through Facebook posts during the riots?
