Chris Huhne's Big Day....In Court

[Energetic]

Perverting the course of justice is government policy when the banks are concernned. This is a storm in a teacup by comparison.

At lea\st we have his great legacy - the grean deal...

Have you read the texts between Huhne and is son? Interesting reading to say the least

I thought they were really sad,

His son was hurting from the breakup.

I think he'll get bird tho

I wonder if prison cells have cavity wall insulation?

Seems a bit much to send the guy to prison for this, in my opinion.

While I agree that the man is clearly a massive peckerhead, if you were to lock up everyone in the country that tried to dodge a speeding fine and then lied about it you would have to make Scotland a penal colony.

its about setting an example

he's not "everyone in the country" he is an elected MP and if he was seen to be getting away with it, it would set a very bad president to Jo Public to fix speeding tickets

Will be interesting what happens to his ex, think her case starts today.

Was she a grass, or was it the son?

Dunno

I thought she brought it up in her divorce proceedings for sympathy, the speeding ticket is ten years old

 

[UNG]

His ex spoke out to drop him in it and ended up in the mire herself I think this has backfired on her a bit. With hindsight would she have dropped him in it if she knew she would end up in court as a defendant and facing the consequences herself

 

[Octopus]

What a twxt. 3 points/a possible 3 month ban 10 years ago and look whats happened now.

A question of zero judgement IMHO

Can't have a bad president- we've already got a terrible prime minister

It virtually is.

If he held his hands up to it when this all first came out I'd probably agree, but he spent a year or more still lying through his teeth, trying to get the charge thrown out of court several times, denying it all the way up to the court date before finally admitting it. How much money, CPS, police and court time would have been saved if he'd just held his hands up to it from the time this came out?

porridge and humble pie required IMO

Just need to get Greg next, never forget 31/10/11 ...should have lost his job for is terrible handling of the FITS. Even the high court ruled unlawful, he thought he was above the law too!!
