LAY IT ON HIM
Legal genius Bryan Law seeks martyrdom:
One of the four convicted, Bryan Law, did not ask for leniency in his sentence submission, telling Justice Thomas that he “is prepared for a custodial sentence.”
“I ask that Your Honour does not grant a suspended sentence,” he said.
“That would be cruel.
“I would not be able to abide by its conditions and we would just end up in court again.
“Lay it on me Your Honour, and I’ll serve it out.”
His colleague, Jim Golding, said he did not want to go to jail and invited Justice Thomas to “join the resistance, the side that’s fighting for human rights.”
They haven’t exactly handled this well.

UPDATE. ekb87 writes: “While we’re busy worrying about Palestinian terrorists, those troublesome Presbyterians and silly-billys like Bryan Law and Donna Mulhearn, we’ve ignored the growing threat of Cornish extremists!” Quite so:
The Cornish National Liberation Army (CNLA) — which wants independence for the coastal county and is suspected of a 1980s attack on a courthouse — has reportedly threatened to torch Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant in Padstow.
The group has also threatened Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen eatery in Newquay.
