> Ryan Breheny was arrested on 3 June after sending threats to the constituency office of Wigan MP Lisa Nandy, and telling a 999 call operator he was planning to attack NHS workers.
> Police found a cache of weapons at the 48-year-old’s home in the town, including slingshots, rifles, a baton and a machete.
> Breheny, who admitted making a threat to kill, sending threatening communications, and common assault, was jailed at Bolton Crown Court for three years and three months.
This guy got just north of three years. The Just Stop Oil protesters were jailed for four years (one got five years). Please help me make sense of this. Every time I read about the justice system of this country and read stories pertaining to it, I feel ashamed.
