I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

The maximum potential sentence available for this crime is 12 mths custodial and/or £40K fine.
Dylan Boyle got a £400 fine because apparently he'd behaved himself for 6 mths since conviction.
That'll learn him.
