Jonathan Gullis is currently suggesting 12 weeks in prison is insufficient for writing graffiti on a war memorial, and barely a sentence later warning that we risked being overcome by fascism and tyranny.

He also mentioned a woman who was imprisoned for seven months for urinating on a war memorial and being abusive to emergency service workers, adding “how this punishment fits the crime I do not know.”

Seven months….seems like quite a lot to me…?
It’s a public order offence, there’s no direct victim...
Oh there we go. Gullis says courts should have the option of a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for desecreting a war memorial.

That would put it on a similar footing to offences such as: Posessing and selling guns, cruelty to children and indecent assault.
