10 years for Asil Nadir. With remission he'll be out in 5...

[sandyRoe]

That works out at around 6 million stolen for every year he'll serve. Is that a fair sentence?

[albaqwerty]

it's 3 more of a sentence than I thought he'd get.
I know comments about his wife's 'speech' should be on a different thread, but bruvver, what colour is the sky on her planet?

[sandyRoe]

I didn't see her speech? Is she claiming a dreadful miscarriage of justice?

[albaqwerty]

Sandy, he's wonderful, innocent and isn't a thief (condensed version)
I mentioned to Mr Alba the only thing she left out was his magnifence in the bedroom department but she didn't want to lie on national TV.

this chap is getting a year for every 20mph

I'm sure the time will race by

It wasn't just the speeding though jno was it. He'd been a naughty boy burgling as well.
What gets me is, he has been banned from driving for 4 years. Does that mean he cannot drive anything whilst in prison? It would be a bit difficult for him to try.
By the time he comes out the ban will have elapsed and he can go on his merry way again.

[emmie]

one assumes that ban is served when he comes out of prison.
As to Nadir, he won't do 10 years, nor 5 i suspect, best he wasn't expecting any kind of prison sentence. An appeal is sure to come
