I for one am glad that justice has at last prevailed. Sympathy for a very
rich criminal is misplaced IMO. Do you sympathise with Chris Skase too?
Anyhow I am sure he will be able to write whilst in jail, and make money in
the process, unlike the other criminals.

It wasn't the prostitutes or the press that put him in jail, it was his use
of perjury to extract a huge sum of money by false pretences. I do hope he
is made to pay it back :-)

Yeah, I suppose people who would vote for Maggie Thatcher would vote for
