Because the trial judge failed to have regard to crucial factual material (contemporaneous recordings) and therefore materially underestimated the seriousness, planned nature and public-order risk of the offence, the non-custodial 200-hour community service order was principle-wise incorrect and manifestly inadequate and must be quashed and replaced by a custodial sentence (detention in a training centre).
