Absolutely a stupid headline. Totalling up single sentences to get one figure - gives the initial impression they won't get out of jail until 2148.  |
They do that to cover up the fact that the individual sentences that were handed out weren't good enough.
It's atrocious tbh, but it's typical Media reporting in this country.
