  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    A man who was the first in the country to admit a charge of rioting after widespread disorder over the summer has been jailed for four years and four months.

    Kieran Usher, 32, from Hendon, Sunderland, pleaded guilty to the charge at Newcastle Crown Court earlier this month.

    The court were previously shown CCTV evidence of Usher wearing a face-covering before encouraging others to participate in violence and throwing a missile at nearby police.

    He was later captured on camera as part of a large mob throwing missiles at officers.

    Riot carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and is a more serious charge than violent disorder, which most other defendants from the recent nationwide trouble have faced.

  2. Meanwhile Huw Edwards just got a 6 month suspended sentence for being a paedophile…

  3. Britain, you get sent to jail for calling somebody a paedo on Facebook but actual paedo’s go free! You couldn’t make this shit up, crazy!

  4. Meanwhile you get caught with cp of children under 10 and you get a 6 month suspended sentence.

  5. Justice system is so inconsistent people who done far worse crimes like looking at indecent images of children get less or people stabbing someone

  6. Well atleast he’s locked up and Huw Edwards is free. Keep pedos out of jail and on our streets
