Hide AdJailing Robinson, Judge Mushtaq Khokhar said: "It seems that you have a very short fuse.
"As soon as an argument arises you resort to violence to settle the argument.
"The fact that other people were present did not deter you from carrying out a further assault.
"The treatment was just appalling and this is in the context of a background of you being violent towards your partners."
