He was going to get fined a couple of hundred quid , going to jail was a voluntary option by a delusional pratt.
He could have just paid up and carried on the "good fight " from within the States Chamber , so why did,nt he?
No point in guessing or making something up like Boaty boy and Rico of the selective cut and pastes.
Conjecture is one step away from fantasy and that is one step away from delusional.
This talk reminds me of this annoying kid in junior school I knew who always used to come up to my posse to try out his latest (unfunnY) jokes and make comments about girls who wouldn't have even given him the time of day.
So one day we told him to beat it, then he started complaining he was being bullied! We explained to teacher that he was the author of his own troubles and if he left us in peace, we'd do the same for him.
She told us that wasn't enough and that we had to be more "tolerant". To this day I remember my exact reply:
"Why in the hell should we have to put up with a little dips**t?! He just gets on everyone's nerves."
I suggest that we all pass the judgement of history and sentence SSS to the same perpetual ignominy our class clown is no doubt experiencing now.
