Definitely. One thing they can't be accused of us being boring!

Affray is a public order offence, under the Public Order Act 1986, in which two or more people use or threaten unlawful violence against another. It carries a maximum penalty when tried at magistrates court of a fine or up to six months in prison. If tried at crown court, the judge would have the option of sentencing him to three years in prison.
Sentencing guidelines state that a custodial sentence “must not be imposed” unless the offence or a combination of offences are so serious that neither a fine nor a community sentence can be justified. The guidelines stress that there is no general definition of this threshold and that even where it is believed to have been met, judges should consider a community order.

I don't know anything about these things so this is a pure guess but I have a feeling a custodial sentence is highly unlikely. Time will tell.

Total contradiction to what FTECB ruled 4 months ago-standard FTECB practise.

Yes even FTECB proving the old adage that you can't be completely wrong the the whole of the time.
