Well, well. Lord Ahmed's barrister, Jeremy Baker QC, has succesfully argued that the jail sentence Lord Ahmed received could "irreparably and permanently" damage his ability to carry out community work in the future. You don't say!
Lady Justice Hallett seems to have come over all funny. Bring on the smelling salts! Because of the "exceptional" personal mitigation in his case, she said the court was able to take the step of suspending the sentence for 12 months. So he's still technically a criminal, then.
Seems a pretty poor excuse to let someone out of jail for. Why couldn't he just carry on with his "community work" after six weeks? Jeremy Baker will be the most sought after advocate in the world for that grovelling mitigation.

He can't be a "Lord" anymore ---can he? Jeffry Archer was struck off,so so will it happen to this ratbag?
hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
As far as I know the Lord Archer of Weston-Super-Mare is still floating about the Palace of Westminster - as an unaffiliated peer!
Lord Ahmed is still a lord, but his lordly ideas will have to be toned down for all that community work!
