Given the 6 year sentence here, for numerous offences.....does this mean that carrying an axe and not using it is more worthy of punishment than, maybe death by dangerous or drunken driving etc?

Or is it because as the article states:

"His actions could have endangered the public if officers had had to open fire to protect the Queen, he said."

So they would have opened fire to protect HRH, but what about the public?

Let's not forget that a few years back a bloke was flattened by an avalanche of policeman, and detained for a good few hours at her maj's pleasure before being released without charge. What did he do? He was holding up a placard that said 'Boo' at the side of a street that her maj was about to go down.....

So being a courageous, yet frail(ish) old woman, she'd not be injured if some bloke heaved an axe through her head....?

I doubt that he was just imprisoned because tof the axe. There must have been other evidence.
