    Mental Health, my backside. I was sent to prison as a 17 year old heroin addict who had been in care and excluded from school. He should have been sent to prison because of his privilege, not protected because of it!

    Literally everyone who has to go to court will have their mental health affected. It is not a defence or mitigation...what a joke.

    It's beyond me how people can think that a non-custodial sentence is perfectly reasonable for Huw Edwards' crimes. Seeing some people on social media argue that he was actually treated too harshly makes me wish that I could believe they were just trolling.

      Most people aren't on social media.

      Those people are probably the same way inclined as Edwards.

    There is very limited justice in the kingdom and it is very expensive. I can't even get a transcript of the trial without paying and hoping they'll oblige. I can't complain about what appears to be a corrupt judge. Terrorist supporters and paedophiles walk the street released from courts with a telling off. England needs serious reform.

      Not to mention *illegal* immigrants being treated a hundred times better than any native.

    Can’t help but feel that class plays a massive role in this. The middle class snobbery and cringe against the plebs and the need to politically crush them but the soft touch against an upper middle class man with first world problems looking at child rape images and manipulating a young drug addicted youth.

    This decision sets a very dangerous precedent. Can the public appeal against the decision?

      I've been to Masada. It's impossible to comprehend the notion of it. Very moving.

    If judges were elected then the punishment would fit the crime without government interference 🤔

      I would take that a step further. Judges who let criminals go, who reoffend, should themselves be criminally charged.
