LMAO that's got to be ******est thing I've ever seen someone get 5 months in prison for. Lying about tickets!

Well, this is bull****,

David Cameron said he would put every person caught carrying a knife in prison and fails to deliver. Yet, Matt Skelton gets thrown in prison for this.

I do feel he should have been punished for his onorthodox boxing style which consisted primarily of sweating all over opponents and rubbing his chest hair over them until they quit - but this is too much.

Quite unbelievable for anyone to get 5 months in prison for such a seemingly minor offence, but then again he should have known better. The cost of those speeding tickets surely isn't anywhere near the price he'll be paying now.

Not just him, the British tax-payer.

A politician said he would "put everyone carrying a knife in prison" and he wasn't instantly removed from office? Britain sounds like quite the ****hole

He will more than likely only serve half of that sentance, so 2-3 months

[nomadman]
