A curious thing I've noticed over the years: doing something doesn't attract as harsh a penalty as conspiracy to do said thing, which is why the Plod seem to prefer to charge people with conspiracy. The same seems to apply to being naughty and telling lies about it afterwards; the lying compounds the offence, as evry ful kno.
