No! Because! If I click a link to access their free training it... puts "ACCESS" in the code box? That's not what links are for. Or what security is. Oh well.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iโ€™ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
