Unless Fulham thought they had a player like Evan Ferguson who was guaranteed to hold his own in the Premier League, there was no way they were turning down £10-11 million quid with 4 unremarkable Premier League appearances to his name. I doubt even the big clubs in the Championship would have...
Admittedly I haven't done that, so maybe two tier is the wrong thing to say. But there does seem to be a disconnect between proportionality of sentences across different crimes.
However, I still maintain there is a huge two tier issue in British justice. We all saw how Nonce Andrew was...
I don't think I need to be "helped" thanks.
I pointed out the two tier nature of justice and gave an example. Had he genuinely "incited murder", he'd have got more than 3 years, so I don't really accept your explanation.
But let's say he did invite murder - if that is the case then Huw Edwards...

"The latest person to be jailed for their online activity during the recent disorder is Tyler Kay, 26.
Northampton Crown Court was told Kay posted on X calling for mass deportation and advising protesters to "mask up", and also retweeted a...
This. Absolutely ridiculous state of affairs.

Pay to watch children being raped - nothing, and keep your £200k paid whilst suspended pending investigation.
Disgraceful.
Millions of Americans own millions of guns. I don't know why they bother. They seem to keep missing their fat, moronic presidential candidate and they don't ever win any shooting medals at the Olympics.
The only reason I am convinced the average American even knows how to use a gun is that...
The reason I put Winchester and Southampton in the same sentence is that Winchester is very clearly inside Southampton's catchment area - that's all.
And you appear to be confusing Southampton with Eastleigh. I mean yes there are shit bits of Southampton (Lordshill, Millbrook etc) but there...
Well I don't mind them as I lived in Winchester for some time. One of my brothers supports them, the best man at my wedding supports them, and my cousin's husband was even the bloke dressed up as their mascot 20 years ago!
The city itself is a bit dull I suppose, but hardly "intolerable" IMO.
I changed my mind in the score competition when I saw everyone was going for 3-1 including me. I saw 1-0 had about 8 votes so I plumped for that instead.
Glad I did. No chance we're scoring 3 goals today. I'd very much take 1-0 now.
That was an insane second half. Hawthorn captain threw it away by hitting the post after taking a mark in comfortable scoring range with a minute to play.
Back in the Ipswich and Forest glory days of the late 70s and early 80s, would either have accepted a point at home to us?
Of course not. Well these days it is us who are the provincial side doing well, and as such I think we're more than capable of 6 points here.
Always amusing to see the Dutch line up against the Spanish, with the Dutch declaring loyalty to the King Of Spain while the Spanish stand there in silence.
There must be Dutch people who object to their anthem too.
Henman wasn't a choker - he just wasn't the very, very best. He reached 8 grand slam semis including 4 at Wimbeldon, which is exceptional.
He only really choked once, in that he had only one very winnable semi match at Wimbledon. In 1998 and 1999 lost to world #1, Pete Sampras. In 2002 he...

And they'll answer "nothing" and you'll have to suck it up as you have no choice where to get your water.
The fact that the only way to ensure water companies get what they richly deserve will have the affect of tanking pension funds of innocent people means they get away with it scott-free...
