Even so - bloody ridiculous.
What upsets me is the unfairness in our society. The Crown Court tried this case. The CPS agreed it. The DWP chased it. The guy gets sentenced and has to wear a tag. Why not bring back the stocks or the ducking stool? I'm tired of seeing people with money get away with breaking laws and rules. I'm tired of it all tbh. As I've got older I've seen our society, social and health get to breaking point. I've seen and been on the receiving end of draconian and humiliating interrogation as a disabled person. Yup. I'm sick of it.

Edit: all they had to do was say...yup, we both f*cked up here. Let's agree to sort this out between us. No need for courts. Whatever happened to some decency and common sense? What was that judge thinking?
