Re: 7 Days in Prison for £53.71
If the Law is breached against the state, establishment or any layer of government the miscreant will always be dealt with severely. Law breaches against the individual, unless they happen to be against the ruling classes will warrant unprecedented leniency.
If Sylvia Hardy had refused to pay a trader she would not be in prison. In fact I doubt if any of us would have heard about it.
The fact that the court stated that she should not be considered a heroine for making a stand is just a pathetic attempt to stop the idea from spreading.
In my book she is a heroine and the Law is a complete and utter ASS!
