I'm not going to enter into a debate about whether "imprisonment in this case was wrong/inappropriate/a waste of money". Nor do I care whether the Huhnes are "likeable" people or not.
Call me old-fashioned, but when a judge sentences someone to "x" months, then that is exactly what I expect them to serve (taking time in remand into due consideration, of course).
Never mind the argument about time-off for good behaviour. "Good behaviour" means that "x" months is all that you serve. "Bad behaviour" gets you time added on.
