Allergictocheese raises the possibility that Shrimpton's constructed fantasy world in which he is a well connected intelligence insider is part of a Walter Mitty complex which Shrimpton does in fact, at his core, know to be false. On that basis the conviction could be sound, although the sentence still looks harsh. Surely no one was really inconvenienced by his wild claims about a nuke on a U Boat.

Have a look into how much time and energy is spent on educating prisoners. People should be leaving with GCSEs, a levels and degrees, post graduate degrees if their sentence was long enough.

I worked in a prison, briefly, as a teacher. The course I taught was "Introduction to Business Enterprise", and
I also covered other subjects in the business sphere. Complete waste of time and effort. Most of the prisoners
were not interested at all, and many behaved like schoolchildren.

Six days was enough for me, and I left for greener pastures.

Update: after a looooooong delay, Shrimpton was eventually disbarred in September 2018. He continues to post loon rants on a whacky website called Veterans Today, or some such.

Shrimpton does Constitutional Law.

Isn't some of the unaccountable Brexit procrastination that May and the Civil Servants are indulging in against some Constitutional Conventions?

The bullst spouted on that VT page was posted by him so it's fair to assume that it's largely the imagined ramblings of a narcissistic nutter.

Clucking bell, he's like one of those guys that rocks up to the cenotaph on 11.11 wearing a Para tie, corporal stripes and an Admirals hat.

Shrimpton is not licensed to practise any law. His ideas about Constitutional law are frankly bonkers.

Even odder if you scroll back through his edits and counter edits.

Joking apart, Shrimpton is committing an offence by holding himself out as a barrister on the wingnut Veterans site.

True. But he’s also committed the more serious offence of being an idiot.
