I agree, both should have been charged. Only one was. You could argue that the MP is making the greater offence as he/she is in a position of authority.

- roryirvine 7mo agoThere's a lot of misinformation being spread about this, but it's worth sticking to the facts. And, in fact, both were charged and both were prosecuted. Connolly admitted guilt but appealed against her sentence. This appeal was denied for the reasons given in the judgment above. Jones was unanimously found not guilty by a jury at trial.
- tharmas 7mo agoThanks for the info. What disturbs me most is the polarization and increasing intolerance of different/opposing ideas and opinions. I'm referring to "slit their throats" kinds of reactions and "set [it] on fire". There's no "lets agree to disagree and meet half way". No compromise. That's seen as weak.
