Leader Slams Huhne
Not his bosses yet, but a damning leader in tomorrow’s Telegraph:
“Did he, as his wife apparently alleges, ask her to accept a speeding penalty on her driving licence on his behalf? Mr Huhne, who left Vicky Pryce for another woman, says this version of events is “simply incorrect”.”
Why did he say “incorrect” instead of “not true”? Did his lawyers advise him to give that wriggle room?
“He is, in other words, calling his estranged wife a liar. Yet to admit she is telling the truth is to confess to a criminal act. It could be argued that if Mr Huhne is in the right then he is entitled to save his own political skin by accusing the woman he abandoned of lying. But it still looks pretty caddish. It is worse if he is in the wrong and knows it – but thinks it can’t be proved. Either way, a thorough police investigation is required.”
One angle missed out is what if Huhne filled in the form without his wife’s knowledge, and she was in London as today’s digging proved that she was? Newsnight, hot on Guido’s tail, will be touching on this issue tonight. Either way a Secretary of State has been “the story” for near on 8 days. And it’s not going to go away tomorrow…
UPDATE : It looks like it will be a head-on car crash.
Guido imagines Huhne’s bill with Mishcon de Reya just soared…
Never seen a shiftier looking git than Huhne did today in his tv interview.
So all this not having an affect on him then…
His total arrogance appears to have fucked off. The horror!
this muck slinging is so unfair!!
I’m as innocent as Ali Dizaei – why won’t anyone believe me?
Watermelons have a very short shelf life
in fact, just long enough to get a ministerial pension…
It is not “can’t be proved”, but “can’t be proven”. “Can’t be proved” is akin to saying “I have drove a car, I have rode a horse, I have flew in an aeroplane, I have wrote a book”. Respectively, it’s DRIVEN, RIDDEN, FLOWN and WRITTEN. The correct form is PROVEN. I proved/I have Proven. Got that?
Learn the language DT, you’re a disgrace. Were your journalists educated under Labour or something? Are we to expect grocer’s apostrophes next? Perhaps you’d like to confuse their/there/they’re for your next article, or maybe spell separately with an E. If you really want to descend to the level of The Mirror you could even spell definitely with an A. Just think, “Definately”. Yes, that looks nice, doesn’t it?
Toast for breakfast, Chris?
“I have drove a car, I have rode a horse, I have flew in an aeroplane, I have wrote a book”.
Heck, language police. You are being busy.
Beware, the revenge of a woman scorned, haven’t we all, so much in the public eye.
“knock knock”
“Whose, their?”
“Grammar Police”
“fuck!”

Why the random capital ‘p’ in your “I proved/I have Proven” phrase, Language Police? Come on now….
The most common past participle of ‘prove’ in English (not US) English is ‘proved’, although ‘proven’ is acceptable – just open a dictionary.
‘Proven’ is most often heard in the old collocation ‘proven guilty’ but is generally only preferred in other contexts by those who pretend to be more intelligent than they are.
Of course, unless there is a third pp a pedant would insist on “more common”
Now, let me see… [thumbs dictionary]. What is the past tense of Huhne?
There is none – there is however a verb – to “exHuhne”, meaning to dig up little tidbits in the hope of ending the career of a dangerous Green lunatic.
There is also the adjective “impHuhne”, meaning unpunished (which is currently true) and the verb to “impHuhgne”, meaning to question the truth or validity of.
Christopher Murray Paul-Huhne has long passed this point, being as guilty as fuck.
David Mills , convicted felon.
Last week this blog was saying its someone else and there is a tape; then what is it to do with his wife? Unless both got the points for the same offence, which is unlikely.
What the hell are you talking about?
The suggestion was it had happened more than once.
When one is accused by post of speeding in a car registered in ur name and you supply the details of who was really driving then they R not charged until they admit to the plod that it was them and not U the registered owner.
That is to say Mrs Huhne signed a form that she was driving. Unless Mr Huhne intercepted the post and signed the form on his wife’s behalf and even then he would have had to include Mrs Huhnes licence in the letter so that it could be endorsed and said endorced licence would have been returned to Mrs Huhne.
Or is Mr Huhne a wife beater?
Mrs Huhne knew nothing about the incident until she received a letter informing her of the penalty points imposed on her licence.
‘Twas Huhne who filled in all the forms, pretending to be his wife, without her knowledge.
What a despicable Hoon Huhne is.
U r asuming da one whose name ws signed is da 1 who did da signing.
Please write effing English, not twat-speak; it only takes a few more seconds.
Mis-spellings are preferable to that insidious bollocks.
That BBC interview was the final nail in the coffin for Huhnes career, he must have been pissed to believe that an interview with the BBC would make the disaster go away.
You could see the panic in his eyes when the penny dropped, just why he failed to predict the questions he would be asked is beyond me. He failed to answer an he looked as guilty as sin, if he lied then he would legally responsible and in the deepest sh*t, its a lose lose scenario and he didnt see it coming.
“…its a lose lose scenario…”
A bit like his eco-loon energy policies, although in the years to come it is we who will be the losers as we fumble around in the dark and the cold looking for some matches to light the candles.
I don’t think so, there is a photo (it even came on news paper) of a person with a prostitute and coca*ne, he is still there.
And it looked like he had been rehearsing that line all day to make it look sincere.
That could be why he did not allow follow-up questions. His body language would have given him away. He is not as consummate a liar as someone as talented in the art of dissembling and spinning realistic and believable falsehoods as the legendary Tony Blair.
I cannot fathom how Tony managed to convince so many people of his many and varied lies. Nor do I know why people were so ready and willing to believe him.
It was patently obvious to anyone who compared empirical observational reality to what Tony said to know that one of the following scenarios was at play:
A) He was not aware of the truth and genuinely believed that what he was saying was true, but he was mistaken. Given the amount of information available to him, this notion is palpably ridiculous.
B) He managed to integrate contrary and mutually exclusive elements of information into his perceptual awareness of his world according to his own belief system. He managed to suppress any paradoxical consequences and filtered his reality to fit thus demonstrating a pathology of delusion.
C) He knew what he was saying was not true and is therefore a liar.
I believe from observation and analysis that it is a combination of elements B and C.
Blair is a Bullshitter!
Only shoot when you can see the whites of hie eyes.
I’ll try and remember that…
But a 50cal will drop someone over a mile away. Just thought i’d mention that.
This Coalition stuff is quite good really – a Secretary of State can get into all sorts of trouble and it not really affect the PM!
Politics is simply what you do to distract attention away from what actually needs to be done
Meetings remain the best alternative to work
As he said on previous thread …
Have they cloned Heffer? She is calling herself a liar – she must have colluded in the points scam by providing her licence, and a cheque for the fine.
And it can’t be proved. Guido’s “alibi” for her is neither here nor there. The answer to it is: having seen this new evidence I accept I must have been driving at the time. How silly of my wife and myself to have made an honest mistake about this at the time. You have only the word of an embittered, self-incriminated nutter to oppose to the honest mistake theory and that doesn’t cut it when the standard of proof is “beyond reasonable doubt”.
Ain’t gonna wash Chris.

The car was registered to him.
He filled out the form, putting another person down as being in control of the vehicle at the time specified.
He then explained to this other person what he had done.
Seems to me that if Tessa Jowell left all that complicated mortgage stuff to Berlusconi’s fig leaf and got away with it, then the other person in this case has little to worry about from the law.
Huhne on the other hand is guilty as sin.
Nice try Chris “innocent mistake blah, blah, blah” only thing is a speeding ticket 8 years ago isn’t the sort of thing that pops into your thoughts unless it’s being playing on your mind for 8 years.
Quite right, what’s the problem – he’s merely perverted the course of justice. In the litany of Lib Dem perversions that barely makes the scale – hardly in the same category as an Oaten.
My prediction – Huhne stays and we get lumbered with his and dave’s green arsery.
The arse raping of the country will continue apace – job done, trebles all round!
Where does “innocent mistake” fall in the “ignorance of the law is no defence” argument?
I give a cast iron promise to not do anything, just as I didn’t with Cable.
Cable will be next, even if at the moment he may be quietly pleased that his leadership rival is enjoying the unwelcome attentions of the press…..
Dirty crooked c unt Ali Dizaei was freed today. Piece of shit should rot in prison.
Hate that arseole with a passion. He was a useless cop in Henley where regarded as major tosser. Let’s hope he has enemies with a taste for retribution.
Those That continually promoted him up through the ranks should be sacked for incompetence.
On what grounds was he freed?
What’s the betting the shifty bastard tries to screw some money out of the system.
probably been on a common purpose course or two
that’ll usually do the trick
Some fuckwit judge freed him after he was cleared on appeal. There’ll be a re trial.
He seemed illiterate at interview, whatever his guilt/non-guilt he was definitely promoted beyond his competence and the idea that his integrity is intact is a joke. He showed poor judgement in getting involved with the creepy little con artist import in the first place.
So Have I understood Dizaei’s defence as being that he was associating with a dodgy individual and therefore anything he did or did not do is irrelevant as the guy was dodgy ?
Agreed. I always felt that when he was finally convicted, it was akin to getting Al Capone on money laundering charges. The bloke’s a lying, race-using useless piece of crap in my opinion. I only hope the next trial succeeds.
I was amused, though, to hear his lawyer use the phrase “without a stain on his character”. Yeah, apart from that slop bucket that was tipped over him. Oh, how I laughed when I heard about that. Still chuckle now, to be honest. Ha!
Short of intoming him in concrete, covering him in garlic leaves and dousing in holy water before driving a stake through is black heart Dracula style, a resurection was always a ghastley possibility. Now he has returned it will be a big promotion, a fat compensation cheque and in future he will be completely untouchable. Meet the future Commissioner.
Then again he could always become a Liberal Democrat MP.
So say his third wife has been in iran/iraq “digging up evidence” to get him another trial – the workings of the souk perchance?
The Notice of Intended Prosecution or Penalty Notice goes to the registered keeper of the vehicle. No one else would know about the alleged offence, unless they read the keeper’s post.
Did he say “I took the points for my offence?”
Did he say “No one took points that related to me?”
If not, why not?
Shame he won’t end up in a cell with that French Socialist.
“No one else would know about the alleged offence, unless they read the keeper’s post.”
Or they were married to the keeper and shared the use of the car and he opened it at breakfast and said Oh fuck was that you or was that me darling? and they mistakenly said Oh it must have been me darling.
Not saying that happened. I am saying I wouldn’t want to be defended by a defence lawyer who couldn’t argue Huhne out of this with his eyes shut.
There’s a tape.
That bullshit argument won’t wash, given that Huhne’s incriminated himself and it’s on record.
Wouldn’t like to have a c’unt like you representing me in court if you think that’s a useful plan of attack.
Looks more like a plan of defence to me, c’ocksucker.
The best form of defence…
Awa to the chippy wi ye, Jock.
Give me the oral sex my little cherie.
Not with that letter-box gob and row of teeth! Besides, she’s juggling too many balls as it is. I thought the French at least had standards in their infidelity….
He is squirming and the truth will come out. He’s my local MP. Hope we get a by-election soon. Love to see these self-important wonkers get their comeuppance.
I wanna be head of the EMF!
That ‘Unbelievable’.
EMF!? Oh you’re so unbelievable
You can be the head on a boat
No, no, Gordon. What you need is a few thousand volts of emf at a decent amperage applied to your head.
Remember to stand in a bucket of water to get the full benefit.
If he did fill in the form without her knowledge at the time this could provide her with a great line in mitigation. She could argue that to then shop her husband would have put great pressure on her marriage. I am sure any court would be sympathetic and although she would still be technically guilty would probably throw out any case against her.
He would also have had to snaffle her licence and then return it to her without her knowledge and she would have had never to have noticed for 8 years the penalty points which had magically been put on it by the bad penalty point fairies.
Are they really fairies. Wow, I didn’t know that.
5 years, only – the points would lapse at that stage. Of course, every time she insured a car in that time Vicky P would have to declare the points, or is that just need for post interception etc. ?
OT – Nice to see a Shuttle launch today.
Maybe he insured the car for her.
Which means their insurance was invalid too.
if he did intercept a letter addressed to her, then filled it in purporting to be her, what did she do wrong which requires any mitigation?
Once she discovered the fraud, she failed to notify the police that a crime had been committed and colluded in that crime by taking an actual loss. However. Although implausible, it is possible that he took care of all that paperwork stuff, so that she did not have to worry her feminine head about it all. He could have taken care of all that stuff, like insuring the family car for both drivers, and it could be that she never had any dealings with the DVLA at all.
Very implausible though. From what she has already said, she has indicated a prior knowledge of these allegations, so what did she know and when did she know it?
Can’t wait for useless Robinson to give us his considered opinion on the Today programme tomorrow.
In the BBC we don’t believe any of this nonsense about a left winger being a tad dodgy.
Hoon is innocent
even ifuntil proved guilty.A shifty Hoon, that’s for sure. Hope he gets nailed if deserved. But what about the BIG story unfolding in NY? A bit beyond your fence Guido? NIYBY?
They maid it up.
At least it was a woman if it had been Brown at the IMF the Bellboy could have been in trouble.
Leaves a vacancy … for me!
I’m sure the bastard will survive – just like the bastard Laws and all the other bastards who’ve been taking the piss out of us since time immemorial. Bitter? No, not me.
Don’t get bitter, it will only consume you, it’s not worth it.
Not now Cato.
Get Stout?
Get Brown!
Telegraph alleges that wife says he asked her to accept a speeding penalty on her driving licence. Mail suggests first she knew was she got the points.
Irreconcilable differences! Either way the usual process is that someone denies being the driver, blames another, who then gets a pcn in order to admit the offence.
So as I suggested on the previous thread, interception of communications, and its implications needs to be considered.
An unusual situation… yes, a secretary of state has been the story for 48 hours – but neither the prime minister (or indeed anyone else in the majority party of government) nor the deputy prime minister (although others in his party may) will be doing much but trying to maintain a straight face whilst chuckling, I imagine.

Could someone enlighten me ( we Welsh border folk are a bit behind the times) but if true, as stated in another thread, that this Struass- Kahn is being held for sodomising this African chambermaid then to find, gulp, the physical evidence, then ,er, the police investigators must have…put on plastic gloves and, crikey, ….oh god the things some people have to do for a living.
Just like the sheep you Welsh enjoy.

If there is it isn’t ali or chris is it!
What is her liability in this matter?
Her ex-husband!
Hasn’t he gone yet?
He never came
A female lesbian rugby player states he did. Pffffttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bit tautological…
I know a few female rugby players, and some of them are bisexual.
One of them’s even straight.
Having said that, it’s a fair assumption that you won’t find more than a couple per 15…
I knew one round your neck of the woods, Paragnostic. She was most assuredly hetero. I still have the photos.
Hope it wasn’t Mrs Paragnostic – she used to play hooker for Farnham Ladies.
And yes – she was quite often heterosexual.
Hookers generally have good ball handling skills
No. She was still single and childless at the last count, which was in the last five years.
Why does he remind me of margaretmoran that time on tv when she tried, and failed, to defend claiming all that money off the taxpayer for her man friend’s house in southampton?!
huhne has the same agressive/defensive air about him.
Par for the course for these types, I’m afraid.
………….also staring very very fixedly at the camera and looking……………..guilty.
Like a rabbit in the road, transfixed by the headlights of the car bearing down on him.
No smoke without fire – at least it appears so, as any sane minister would be doing everything to put out the flames. Hulne by his actions seems to be fanning them.
Huhne can squirm but he can’t escape the crosshairs.
Cross? I was absolutely livid!
Filling in the form is not enough to hang him. Once the Police were informed that Mrs Huhne was driving and not the registered owner then they would have contacted her and only when she signed another form to say that she was the driver would they have prosecuted her.
Mrs Huhne has now to prove that Mr Huhne forced her to do this.
Guido. What is wrong with this post? Your auto moderation is getting ever more ridiculous. Not yet to the point of non contribution but very close.
Don’t forget that Blogs are a two way thing unlike the MSM.

Wow, I think i’ll buy shares. Gordo is ALWAYS 100% wrong.
tempting as it is to say brown has to be wrong – I think this time he might be (cough) correct
It may be the ruin is just using his networking circle and has insider information ,although other angle is ,not much genius required as G20 has debt ,which is not a good position as your economy services the debt and not the people .
Huhne story now at ok or hello coral I think ,but I still cannot work out why 3 points was a big deal ,unless it was one of those moments where yer missus realises you lied to her with a sob story and has decided she was a fool and left with all unhappy baggage . Still she must be pretty sure if willing to go for perjury accusation. I do hope that this does not allow for green plan to slip under radar , I am still trying to work out why we need a CO2 tax ,I am not conviced it will lead to the desired end of better energy efficency ,besides it is new tax so will be inflationary as it affects every stage of manufacture ? to me reducing CO2 is different to energy efficency as some process produce loads of CO2 no matter what you do , besides wont it all be a bit bearuocratic with measuring and monitoring ? what if you just bubble your flue gases through some caustic to reduce CO2 ,is that cheating. On a corporate level as some else has pointed out if you mothball a plant do you get credits for reducing your corporations CO2 and so perhaps make more money than if it were operational ?
He is clearly saying “incorrect” because he will allege that his wife offered to take the points, rather than him asking her which he will say is “incorrect”.
Calm down dear

Ring any bells…Question Time…2009.
And those fuckers had the cheek to play the moral high ground.
What those worthies participated in, as paid accomplices of the state broadcaster, was ordeal by television.
Question Time never had any credibility to boast of and that programme demolished its pretence for good and all.
Yet, no matter how many of our rulers are exposed as fiddlers, incompetents, lunatics and traitors (and how few Huhnes get their comeuppances), the racket rolls on.
Now, take a look at the ad smack above this topic to refresh your conditioning, folks.
Oh, just get privoxy or admuncher, you paranoid buffoon.
I think he is referring to the Advert for a book claiming that the B&P are a far right party. When in reality they now are a nationalist socialist party.
same difference
On Newsnight previewing his report later Crick just said “I’ve been spending the day piecing together what Chris Huhne’s wife did and didn’t do”. Surely you mean you’ve just been reading this site?
And he gets paid for by the taxpayer ( avarge wage 22k a year)
Why would you need a chamber maid in a luxury hotel?
Something stinks
Yeah it’s the forensic evidence.
Just listened to a French interview with a senior member of Air France’s cabin crew – apparently S-K is well known among the trolley dollies for inappropriate behaviour. And it’s worse than just grabbing their arses as they go by.
I’d post the link but it’s in French.
Stick it on here anyway, there’s bound to be some Frog or Frog-speaker with nothing better to do than translate it for us. Come to that, I got ‘O’ level French in 1962. Bring it on!
The maid is used to giving blowjobs, but she drew the line at swallowing a frenchy’s dick cheese.
That would have made her a cheese eating surrender monkey
Why would you need a chamber maid in a luxury hotel?
I dunno, but in much cheaper hotels, you don’t do your own hoovering and bed making.

Now that donal has decided not to run for the republican nomination no doubt sarah’ithinktexasisanisland’palin will hope to be out there against omaha in 2012.

I’d rather see Rand P*ul – a proper conservative with sensible ideas.

If only ALL politicians had his morals, ethics, honesty, integrity and voting record!
He genuinely is what politicians should aspire to be.
He will probably have his campaign knobbled again, but I would love to see him run against Obama for the Presidency.
Ooops thought you typed Ron Paul, not his son Rand. I do not know enough about Rand Paul to comment.
I take back the unreserved endorsement of Rand, but it stays for Ron Paul.
Nah , Gordon is going to save America!
Was it anything to do with the fact that Obama made a total c unt out of Trumpet at that Dinner. He made him an even bigger c unt when you realise that the previous day he took the decision to take out Bin Laden. Remember his put down about what keeps him up at night.
I’ve never molested a woman. Hit, shoved, screamed at, thrown a phone at, yes. Molested, no.
Or shagged one.
That accusation cannot be levied at me.
Why would the estranged wife, however determined to extract revenge on an arsehole husband, put herself in the frame for a criminal offense?
Someone else took it up the hoon for Chris.

Margaret Hitler seems to be adopting the hairstyle – maybe she can borrow Harriet’s moustache…

“Newsnight learnt today she was at a seminar in London”. Yes, you learnt that by reading this site.
Solicitor on Newsnight giving opinion: “Ultimately it’s fraud and perverting the course of justice. It would carry a prison sentence”.
I hope this excrement is guilty and more to the point I hope a jury find him guilty and then I hope a non-socialist judge gives him a sentence that matches his crime. I will relish the thought of this miscreant languishing in prison, while the rest of us pay his exorbitant fuel bills. If only he had to pay them for himself or freeze to death in solitary confinement for the rest of his miserable life. Or maybe run on a treadmill 20 hours a day to generate his own power.
Nope, Hang the Hunt!!!!!
How does democrcey work with a bill of rights?
Could I suggest a Coalition between Chris Huhne and Ali Dizaei
That would be a shit coalition if Mark Oat-a-bix joined.
Then again, maybe it already is….
I see that Tory lite Andrew Pierce is on SKYs Papers review. he should stick to what he knows best all that celebrity shite that his paper spews out every day.
I’ve not been following this. Have I got this right, Flashman says he’s screwed up the economy but he can’t afford any more points off his poll rating so Huhne agreed to take the hit instead?
Near enough
If you want to see the economy really screwed, just wait for the ‘carbon budget’ that will be the death knell for manufacturing in the UK.
Time we scrapped all that crap – it’s all on the say-so of a bunch of geography lecturers and a jumped up railway engineer, with assistance from fools like Gore and Huhne.
means to an end, old boy; means to an end…
The Coalition hasn’t really had time to screw up the economy – it takes about 5 years or 10 if you really want to fuck it up big time. In 13 you can bury it.
Sleep well, Mr Huhne. You want to remember what it was like to be a minister … and an MP.
…and a free man. With any luck.
If Huhne goes, I bet he’ll cross the floor to join Labour.
His Natural home.
Labour – home sweet home to crooks and cheats
Vanished!
Of course, all my posts on that thread were incredibly witty and quite staggeringly erudite…
Yeah and politicons are squeaky clean….
Told you so! – bastard socialists demanding the higher moral ground as they seek the power to tell us what we should and should not do, to tell us how we should think , eat, drink, smoke, speak, use power and light our homes – there is nothing so annoying or dangerous as a socialist zealot.
Do detect a spot of disbelief in the purity of politicos
Arh Flashers, what have you been upto of late, what mischief have you been upto, no doubt getting involved in some sort of Huhnery, hope the lasses father does not catch with you, still you always get away with it.
Cad and caddish. I like it!
Ok some convict baiting ……… Come its funny
A good blog post in the Grauniad about Mr Justice Eady – worth a read:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/organgrinder/2011/may/16/justice-eady-imogen-thomas
Eady’s stretching it a bit – section 12 of the HRA puts freedom of expression first, and allows privacy as the last resort of the applicant for an injunction.

4)The court must have particular regard to the importance of the Convention right to freedom of expression and, where the proceedings relate to material which the respondent claims, or which appears to the court, to be journalistic, literary or artistic material (or to conduct connected with such material), to—
(a)the extent to which—
(i)the material has, or is about to, become available to the public; or
(ii)it is, or would be, in the public interest for the material to be published;
(b)any relevant privacy code.
Since Giggs’ name is already all over the internet, (4)(a)(i) seems to apply and should trump any privacy concerns. If there is a suspicion of blackmail, this should surely be separate from any injunction.
Which is why this “democracy” thingy is merely a temporary means to a permanent end.
Terrible press for Huhne this morning:

But surely this means that Vicky Pryce is laying herself wide open to charges of, perhaps: conspiracy to commit a crime, aiding and abetting a criminal, failure to report a crime, obstruction of justice, and so on?
Unless… has someone at the CPS given her a “get out of jail free” card?
It will be interesting to see what happens.
Let’s just hope that Ali D. has the same bad luck that seems to going Huoon’s way!!
“Guido imagines Huhne’s bill with Mishcon de Reya just soared…”
And sadly Huhne has just lost his erection !
“Senior Lib Dems insisted there was no need for Mr Huhne to stand aside even if a formal inquiry began, because the principle that a police investigation was not a resigning matter was established when Tony Blair was questioned by police at No 10 over the cash for honours scandal.”
Blair was merely a witness to a criminal offence. Huhne is the suspect of a criminal offence.
Time to move on to the next gossip Guido. The MSM have taken over Huhnegate
Is Carina Trimmngham a chick with a dick?
Fact
Dr Fox is right. Dave is wrong.
Borrowing money so that we can then give it away, while being left with the repayments on that loan is MADNESS.
Leave him alone. Dave is doing a very good job.
Guido… Can you not FOI her expenses for that month – should include a taxi reciept with pickup and dropoff point. The taxi company might also (if computerised) have the time of the booking.
Would also be worth noting Huhnes usual modus operandi when working in Brussels – did he usually leave his car parked at Stanstead airport? I’m assuming there must some paper trail to his movements.
They will need a good brief.
I had a good shredder.
Just been told by Today that the EU will decide what noise British electric cars will make. What the fuck has the noise of a British car got to do with the EU?
Fuck M
Bloody hell. They go and make a nice quiet car then build a noise in to it.
It’s to protect morons who can’t be bothered to look to see if a car is coming from getting run over.I have the same problem when riding my bike so have had to resort to a Bell.
So what! Darwin’s law applies.
Its one of the better things that the EU does – work out common rules so that a single product can go into the whole EU market without having to go through many different sets of hurdles.
A free market without borders.
But anyone whos ridden a bike knows the sods should just learn to look. Anyway a petrol engined car makes very little noise when moving and slowing down at 10-20 mph.
I tort I taw a Huhney pwat a-thpeeding right pathft me.
I DID, I TAW A HUHNEY PWAT ATH PLAIN ATH IT COULD BE.
Is the name Huhne of Irish origin, sounds like it.
I have absolutely no time for the sanctimonious likes of Huhne and the rest of his tribe (and that includes the expense cheat and Lundie fiddler Laws). But what no-one seems to have picked up on here is that Huhne’s ex wife will also be in the frame for perverting the course of justice, if she did indeed take penalty points on her licence when her ex-husband had committed the alleged speeding offence. For all her vaunted intellectual intelligence, she can’t be the brightest sparkler in the box.
Err Jonathan. loads of people if not all have picked up on that.
“Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned”
Obviously Pryce is prepared to pay the price of her revenge.
The self-serving arrogance of mortal politicians never fails to amuse me! I suspect that Mr Huhne (strange spelling!) will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history, along with Gordon Brown and countless other second-raters!
He should have done what I always do with my wife when I get caught out, buy her a new outfit and an expensive makeover. Now you know why I have never divorced, Jacqui could have me sent down for life.
I also want a pay rise for being your occasional Parliamentary Researcher, £20K a year is not enough even though I can’t spell, and don’t do any research, double it. I also insist that I sit in on the interviews for your new Interns; any young girls or Russians verboten. Grant my demands or else you are in the shit bigtime, and I’m not frightened of your drug dealings buddies.
It is my duty to pass upon you the only sentence which the law can pass for the crime of willful speeding and perverting the course of justice. The sentence of the Court upon you is that you be taken from this place to a lawful prison, and thence to a place of execution, and there you will hang by the neck untill dead, and that your body be buried within the precincts of the prison in which you shall have been last confined before your execution; and may the Lord have mercy on your soul.
I have it on good authority that he has smelly feet too
