This is great, erstwhile lackey of Margaret Thatcher to be jailed for fraud...

Corrupt f**ker thought he was untouchable. I just wish it was for longer.

Did he escape lightly?

I think 6.5 years is enough for a crime most get away with, although he deserves it.
Rapists get less.

Wonder how much time he will serve and where? No doubt we'll soon hear he is suffering ill health.

Anarchist governments eh?

Supposed to be 85% of his sentence if in the US. If he's transferred to the UK it could reduce to 50%.
