in her case she will serve only one year per childs life, it is not enough, though it could never be enough unless it was a death sentence
I agree but to be honest I'm not surprised - life is very cheap in this country these days 
Mick Philpott cries as he hears Maireads sentence
8 security guards take Mick Philpott down to shouts from the gallery
wish the woman on sky would stop sniffing - tis very irritating
poor woman probably has a cold and can't help it but tis irritating 
it's very cold in Nottingham today 
He's got to serve minimum of 15 years 
I still say he should have got life x 6 Hope he rots in jail.
Obscene gestures from Mick Philpott as he leaves the dock
Seriously? He's one low life scumbag, isn't he?

he did that yesterday as well scumbag
the system has really gone too soft
job well done Mr Orchard
His barrister, Mr Anthony Orchard QC, urged the judge to pass the minimum sentence on Philpott, saying the father of 17 children by five different women would "have to live with the hatred and hostility of the press and the public for the rest of his life".
He added that Philpott "faces hostility from other prisoners on a daily basis".

I was hoping he'd get a recommendation of 20+ years.
Can they appeal against their sentences? cause I can't see him going quietly

I'm sure he'll try.

I think he will carry on, he will be moaning that he's being bullied next

If there was any real justice, they'd throw him in with the mainstream prisoners and let him get what he deserves, however, the scumbag will be on protection.
Wanted to add, she disgusts me as much as him. As a mother, your main priority should be the protection of your children. She not only went along with that evil pig's plan which put her children's lives at risk, but she continued to protect him after her children had been killed. 
I can't get over the panorama programme, they went to the pub wearing Stetsons and he was singing caught in a trap on karaoke 
I agree they are all guilty of committing crimes, but (imo) some crimes are much worse than others.
Couldn't agree more.
What difference does prison make to a morally corrupt thug?
It's carry on regardless.

It won't make a bit of difference to this particular thug, Velvet. The only real difference is The State is paying for him in jail, rather than out of jail.
Yep.
Just unfortunate thugs have a free pass in society and a free pass in Jail.
Maybe the thugs should be segregated?
They all need to be put on an island to rot, they shouldn't even be breathing the same air as us
I think a lot of people (I'm not talking about anyone here) but out there in the ether have this belief that people like him will be 'dealt with' in prison. It never happens. There probably was a time when child killers were seen as the scum of the earth and were targeted. Ian Huntley is the exception rather than the norm with regards to being targeted and Sarah Payne's murderer Roy Whiting.
The truth is they will exert their authority to become top dog and have a relatively comfortable, cushy life in prison
George Osborne you scumbag. Fancy trying to make political capitol out of the deaths of 6 children. Rot in hell along with the Philpotts and that other filth Paul Mosley.
the Nasty party are fast becoming the New Nazi party

Hierarchy in prison is decided by the crime you committed and the length of your sentence, combined with your perceived status/reputation outside prison. Crimes against children and the elderly do not have kudos and are still looked upon as the worst type of crime, so there isn't a hope in Hell he'll be allowed to be top dog. He might think he is cock of the walk but if he doesn't ask to go on protection, I believe he'll soon find out how low down the pecking order he is.
They've sent both men to the same jail in Wakefield

Unfrikkin' believable! that the arse osborne uses such a tragedy to have a pop at folk on welfare again...I better stop typing before I get bopped.Raging!

Predictable though.

I hope you're right Yogi, I really do but I wouldn't count on it

Well, he is a cock alright.
Didn't follow, but listened to J Vine all week. Yeah they are all out there.
He's got to serve minimum of 15 years
he'll be out in under 7
Life with a minimum of 15, I always thought meant he is not eligible to apply for parole until he has served 15 years.
As for the 'prisoner thing', I do still think it happens when they are given the chance. Gives the prisoner that kills a paedophile / child killer some sort of status within in the prison.
I know I have heard of a recent case, where 2 prisoners had slit the throat of one of those offenders at Frankland Prison in Durham.

This is what has been bugging me today, i had changed my mind on her but she did 'go with the flow' afterwards and tried to keep him from justice Those poor kids even if they hadn't died they wouldn't have had much going for them in life with 'parents' like those two
Sorry GJ... I was actually replying to the sentences generally... not your post in particular
