GIBSONS WEREN'T SET FREE

ANOTHER sad day for British justice...

While in one part of the country a paedophile was given a six-month
suspended sentence (supposedly because of lack of prison space), in
Carlisle Judge Phillips sentenced Mark and Lezley Gibson and Marcus
Davies to nine months each, suspended for two years, for trying to
help people with MS by posting them free bars of cannabis chocolate.

So the News and Star (January 26) reports "Cannabis trio freed by
court"?

A suspended prison sentence, especially for Lezley who herself suffers
from MS and who is now going to be at risk of arrest if she uses
cannabis chocolate - or for Mark Gibson and Marcus Davies who have
acted purely out of compassion for the sick - is not freedom
