Burning Questions In Court

Two men have been jailed for an arson attack on an M11 tree house last December. One was given 3 1/2 years, the other 2 1/2. Judge Kenneth Richardson said 'Both of you were part of a gang hired to scare away persons involved in lawful protest and scare them away using violence. The only regret I have is that those responsible for hiring you are not before the court.' Perhaps not all judges are senile old duffers.
