You can't have too much sympathy for Boris. How dumb and arrogant do you need to be to squander millions. Most of us could never dream have having so much money to lose! With a lesser barrister his sentence could well have been longer.

At Wandsworth, the former BBC tennis commentator had been held on C-wing – which houses ‘vulnerable prisoners’ including paedophiles and policemen likely to face attack.
Huntercombe, in contrast, has a ‘well-resourced library’ and a gym and was described in the most recent inspection as a ‘safe, decent and purposeful’ prison.
The report said levels of violence and the use of segregation were low and prisoners were generally treated ‘with respect’.

Boris and his family will be relieved. Wandsworth is a terrible place to be holed up. It will have taught him a lesson, however.StottyComment
