Lord Hanningfield Gets Away With It After All.

In a demonstration of how justice is skewed in favour of the privileged Lord Hanningfield, a Tory Peer, has been released from his nine month sentence for stealing £14,000 after a mere nine weeks. "We decided that he's been punished enough," a government spokesperson said. "After all its not as if he did something really awful like stealing a bottle of water. We believe that, in making an example of this peer of the realm, we have demonstrated how fair our justice system is - or at least persuaded the rest of you that it's fair. We expect that Lord Hanningfield, completely rehabilitated by his experience behind bars at the country health spa reserved for his class of criminal, will now take his place in the House of Lords again where he'll be able to lecture us all on the evils of crime and support government policy." Lord Hanningfield was unavailable for comment since he's come down with a serious case of sniggering.
