This is Roshonara Choudhry, the woman who tried to murder Labour MP Stephen Timms in revenge for him voting in favour of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.Ms Choudhry refused to appear at The Old Bailey in person because she does not recognise the jurisdiction of the court.
So she will be sentenced by video-link, and will doubtless be given a lengthy custodial sentence to be passed in a comfortable, internet-equipped, halal-compliant cell...
...from where she will now be able to vote Mr Timms out of office.
You really couldn't make it up.
Frankly, she should have been dragged to the court in handcuffs and forced to stand when the Judge entered.
Human rights?
For a woman who attempted to murder a Member of Parliament?
The 'right' to vote him out of office?
O, please.
