I liked Jeremy Hardy's comment on the News Quiz when the story originally broke last year: ``It's like one of those lovely human interest stories that makes you go `aaahhh...' and really brightens up your day''.
Yeah, but call me bitter and twisted ... it's a plea bargain. I'd personally liked to have seen him dragged through the courts, every dark corner of his business dealings fully shaken out; in particular I'd like to know exactly how much of a hand Mummy had in things, just to extinguish any last lingering thought of Saint Margaret. And because, to my mind, yet again Marky has had his nuts pulled out the fire just when life was getting really interesting.
And a couple of years in South African jails might have been interesting for him.
