hy would a lefty support a cryptofascist?
I am obviously not explaining myself properly.In my opinion F12's posts are a bit strange in that he starts out stating a case supporting TR then via a somewhat tortuous route admits he hadn't really researched anything and is, in fact wrong.
His arguments in general are so weak it's like he wants them to be comprehensively debunked.
So I was thinking he could be a troll who actually doesn't believe what he writes at all.
I am probably wrong.

Can anybody explain why a news paper gets a fine yet tommy gets a suspended sentence, surely the author and editor should be in a cell
What they did was by far worse than what tommy did

Nice try, but read the question again. We are talking about the original offence
Could it be that the Scottish prosecution was of a limited company whereas TR was prosecuted as an individual?Are Scottish contempt of court laws and sentencing guidelines the same as English?

Is it because Tommy was jailed as he was on license for a previous offence?
Nice try, but read the question again. We are talking about the original offencebtw when you try and make a clever point try not to say “why wasn’t a newspaper sent to prison?”

1) A newspaper can't receive a suspended sentence. Can anybody explain why a news paper gets a fine yet tommy gets a suspended sentence, surely the author and editor should be in a cell

2) Contempt by a newspaper is usually dealt with via a fine for the business, as opposed to going after the writer, editor, legal reps etc.
You can find plenty of examples of this online to support the consistent application of the law.
Did you not learn the first time about comparing 'like for like' with that stupid picture you posted? You'll need to spend some more time trying to find 'double standard' examples.
As to the exact reason why the editor's aren't pursued, I'm not sure, but then what's your point with that?

Serious question....if TR worked for, or started his own, newspaper or similar then he would have been ok?2) Contempt by a newspaper is usually dealt with via a fine for the business, as opposed to going after the writer, editor, legal reps etc.

I thought the same. The answer is I don't know. Perhaps BV or someone else with lots of legal knowledge can shed some light. If I were to speculate, I imagine it's a question of scale (in terms of the newspaper being a large business and covering a range of matters), along with wanting to ensure that we punish the papers when they do wrong (the fines, negative publicity), but we don't make them too risk averse in their reporting by having the staff thinking they'll go to prison, unless there are repeat breaches. Articles going through a few hands before publishing may also spread the liability.

I've never worked for a paper but I have worked for several magazines. Those that publish in an arena where legal issues might be a problem have sub editors with a degree of legal knowledge on the team and the option of 'kicking it upstairs' to the real lawyers if it's too complex/serious for the subs to deal with. As a result, when a mistake is made, there's probably a defence of due diligence - though many publications are still successfully sued of course.If I were to speculate, I imagine it's a question of scale (in terms of the newspaper being a large business and covering a range of matters), along with wanting to ensure that we punish the papers when they do wrong (the fines, negative publicity), but we don't make them too risk averse in their reporting by having the staff thinking they'll go to prison, unless there are repeat breaches.
