When I read the article (and a previous one that reported the conviction but not the sentence) I thought that perhaps the CPS/MOD should appeal and go after the judge as being unduly lenient. My personal opinion of a large section of the UK's judiciary has been decreasing over recent years and I'm sure I'm not alone. When you start to think that your judiciary are an irrelevance then that is a slippery slope for the whole moral fabric of the nation. This one needs to keep his personal opinions out of the courtroom.
