Essex Police Tight Lipped
It strikes Guido as a little odd that Essex Police will still not confirm whether either of the interviews they conducted yesterday, one with Huhne and the other with his estranged and soon to be ex-wife Vicky Pryce, were conducted under caution. Surely if neither was, they would just say that.
With Obama-mania reaching boiling point today, it’s a good day to bury bad news, but should it emerge that Huhne’s was under caution, effectively treating him as a suspect, then the pressure on him to step aside would be unstoppable. The coppers have said they are seeking a quick resolution. With the original crime paperwork, the flight list, Pryce’s licence and her diary, there can’t be that much more to look at…
pop
a good day to bury huhne – permanently
David Cameron last night appointed controversial Tory donor Lord Ashcroft as a defence adviser despite a stand-up row with Nick Clegg.
The Deputy Prime Minister objected to the appointment of the peer and former Conservative Party chairman in a tense face-to-face meeting.
But the Prime Minister dismissed Mr Clegg’s concerns and insisted that Lord Ashcroft, who has donated more than £5million to the Tories through one of his companies, would lead a review of Britain’s military bases in Cyprus.
The move prompted a furious backlash from the Liberal Democrats, who claimed it had been deliberately announced under cover of U.S. President Barack Obama’s state visit.
Tory sources rejected that claim and insisted Lord Ashcroft’s job was unpaid and advisory, pointing out his expertise in military issues.
Lord Ashcroft, an international businessman who was appointed a peer by Mr Hague in 2000, has long-standing connections with the military and was heavily involved in the Imperial War Museum.
He also owns the world’s largest collection of Victoria Crosses – Britain’s highest military honour. His review of the bases is due to be completed by the end this year as part of the strategic defence review.
No conflict of interest there then!!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘Lord Ashcroft’s qualifications for this task are his collection of old Victoria Crosses, years of private plane and yacht rides with William Hague, and a decade of vast Tory donations as a secret non-dom.
‘The Government has still not brought in the simple order needed to ban non-dom donations to political parties under the 2009 Political Parties and Elections Act.
Just wondering how close the soverign bases are to the main nightspots and how closure of said bases could help expand these nightspots and who would get first dibs if the bases were closed.
Staff at the bases probably keep such clubs in business.
You’re not a financial advisor, I hope?
Lord Ashcroft’s appointment disturbs me because of his non dom status but I say GO DAVE just to stick it to that Lembitstain Clegg.
Dave old chap, you need to assert your authority way more with Dem. They got their heads kicked in at the local elections.
Send Laws away with a flea in his ear – hopefully on his way to jail.
Eh? Does that mean there might be a bung in it for me? Another Villa in Spain will do nicely.
Yes, but for gods sake man hide your identity.
If you want more details I’ll find you.
makes one wonder how the plod manage to prosecute anyone when it takes them so much time to bang the Huhne to rights.
Or do they have to jump through hoops when it comes to a slippery cabinet minister?
BOAZ.
What about cost?
Give us time, these lesbian equality diversity boxes won’t tick themselves you know and that huge plate of dougnuts looks so delicious.
It doesn’t matter if the enquiry takes 5 days or 5 months we all know what the outcome will be ” No case to answer “, and Huhne will walk away scot free.
The filth are being ‘cautious’…
If the Police have reason simply to suspect that an offence MAY have occurred then they are legally obliged to interview the “suspect” under caution.
Such reasonable suspicion is certainly present if the have a statement from a witness testifying to a particular offence taking place. In short it depends on what his wife has actually said when it comes to the crunch.
Huhne, Laws and Lembit are innocent! Solidarity with my Lib Dem brothers.
Thanks for letting me use your motto ‘no shame’.
No Shame
By Any Means Necessary
I just love the smell of toast in the morning…
Am sure Mr Huhne gave both police men nice handshakes (the masonic style) and this will all blow over………
may be guilty as hell – but proving guilt is the trick….. guido spent lot on this …. just like how much time and effort he spent to get labout out and someone else in… that turned out bad …. ?
fear the worst here….
guido found the flights, the points the camera,,, etc etc etc
but who sent the form back… if that turns out to be Mrs Huhne (even under duress) – she commited the crime – not he !!!!!!!!!
He could claim – she deraanged and he protecting her… thats why he made his statements – to save her from commiting purjury
guido – he could have this defense…. ?
Mr Huhne deserves go the same way as Mr Camerons BIG SOCIETY.
I hear nobody with an ounce of sense will touch either with a barge pole!
Ahh Daves “Big Society”, do the job you used to do but now you wont get paid.
Despite listening carefully, I have no idea what Cameron is blathering on about when he talks about the Big Society.
Perhaps it is anything to do with the Masonic thing?
Fool.
It is said that ignorance is bliss; you should be very happy. It doesn’t need a capital ‘M’ either.
The concept again comes from Nazi Germany, Hitler and Goebbels – just like Homeland Security, another 1930s Nazi meme…
HTH
It’s because you have been brought up to expect everything on a plate. You are the me, me , me society. That’s why you don’t understand.
The problem is that there are so many organisations called “charities” that are not. They are funded by government or councils and are therefore a QUANGO, (quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation). A charity is in my book is funded by the public or business. The problem is that instead of calling a spade a spade Cameron has invented a new phrase “The Big Society” and has quite rightly not been taken seriously. Or as we say in my neck of the woods “had the piss taken out of him”. Cameron like most civil servants and even businesses now has lost sight of reality and only refers to the Book of Political Correctness. I fear the whole thing is out of control but hey, we now know who the footballer with injunctivitus is, so all is well. Or to quote another well-known phrase “we are fucked”!
During his visit to Britain Der Pope will emerge as an ally for David Cameron in building the “big society”, but will insist that if it is to work, the Church must no longer be excluded from the national debate.
Just as his successors have been for two 2,000 years, Pope Benedict is the SS guardian of Church Kontrolle.
Joseph Ratzinger’s Hitler Youth in Nazi Germany taught him that the Church had to be different to, and separate from, the rest of the world. In an interview with Woman’s Own magazine in 1987, Margaret Thatcher proclaimed ‘there is no such thing as society’. Expunging the phrase from mass consciousness has been a key component of Cameron’s efforts to ‘detoxify the Tory brand’. The very name’ Big Society’ has been bigged up (from the Nazi 1930s) to put our minds at rest. What could more clearly flag up a rejection of the old ways?
Yet the irony is, if you look at what Thatcher said 24 years ago and what Cameron said about his BS, the title is the only clear differentiation. As befits the mission of a former PR man, this is all about the packaging.
Thatc unt Dave – In both cases, the message is clear: don’t rely on government to resolve social problems. Your first responsibility is to look after yourself, and then look after your neighbour, if you can be arsed. Which you really, really should be if you are a decent sort.
In other words, Big Society largely recycles No Society themes.
IOW there is NO SOCIETY, only allegiance to the HOMELAND and the Nazi FUHRER.
To make it crystal clear, the money has run out (been looted by your lords and masters) and the UK is now in AUSTERITY sans the IMF actually imposing austerity measures a la PIGGs.
That will be next when Cameroon’s BS BS fails.
Ah yes but…hits the nail on the head. A charity is an organisation which is funded by voluntary contributions. By definition this excludes any organisation which is funded by the tax payer irrespective of what “good cause” it may be engaged in.
The difficulty we have here is that Big Society is the collorary of “small state”.
Those quangos complaining about tax payers money being withdrawn are missing the point. that is what is supposed to happen.
The state is no longer financing things which could and should be done by volunteers ie Society.
Perhaps the Police are playing by the book for fear of losing a prize scalp should they err in any way, including disclosure of any detail which a defence lawyer could exploit.
exterminate! EXTERMINATE!
OK, so a few people have had a 3-4 month sentence for trying to bullshit their way out of a traffic offense. Has anyone ever been done for taking/giving points? I would have thought that most police hofficers wouldnt give a shit about this. Would you give a shit if it wasnt a politician you disliked?
Yes:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6139502/Millionaire-businessman-jailed-after-lying-to-avoid-speeding-points.html
well… he did it twice and lied under oath. thats got to make it at least 4x worse!
Our Asian community do it all the time
including taking driving tests for each other
That’s only in the UK. At home they just bribe the examiner or simply buy a licence from a bent clerk…
Friend of mine of that ilk, even got the doctor to use his own blood when he came to take a blood sample after the friend was stopped !
I gather that if you have a discreet word in the pub you can usually find a gentleman of the Polish persuasion to tale the strain for you at the going rate of £100 a point. Allegedly.
And the language test when applying for a Taxi Liscence
Pity about the lack of spelling test.
Yes others have been done for perverting the course of justice by trying to fiddle driving licence points, and not just millionaires:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/6515318/Air-ambulance-pilot-jailed-for-speed-trap-lie.html
Recorder Martin Meeke, QC, told him: “Conduct such as yours is capable of undermining both public justice and the public’s confidence in our system and the punishment must dissuade others who may be minded to act in a similar way.”
So, that’s two cases at the drop of a hat. Do you *still* think Huhne should get off scot free *if* he acted in the same way?
(That case was in 2009. I wonder if the Huhne read it at the breakfast table then came over all funny? Someone should check his diary.)
I knew that would happen, which is why I don’t bother pointing this out.
I don’t want Huhne to get off scott free.
I am wondering how much the police would normally give a toss. Without the pressure of a political spotlight on them they’d just shrug and go “sod it”. The more shit you stir, the more the police have to act.
And again, that case has the driver putting in a hell of a lot of effort to get off completely. So he:
-faked flying records.
-Blamed someone who wasn’t at all in with the scheme.
-Caused the british embassy in iceland irritation.
-Had a string of other convictions.
… and got 4 months.
Three -
This is what plod gets up to…

Again the vaugeness of the system.I know of an ex cop who set off the speed cameras not on a 999 call no justification to do it.
Who coereced the passenger into agreeing to invent a ‘car chase’ and put the nearest parked vehicle through the PNC for justification.The summons came through and the incident checked the supervisor was suspicious and investigated.The car owner had been asleep in bed.Net result the driver was required to resign no court prosecution and the passenger was suspended for about 4 months.The driver was already on a final written warning.
OK … so I said a baad word.
blames an innocent 3rd party + got points etc.(*) = 4 months.
( * did a crime so bad we can never speak of it in this place).
Dear sock puppet, many regular posters on here sometimes speak wisely and sometimes speak shite. On this occasion just put your hand up man and admit on this occasion you are posting shite. Thank you.
The offence is not about points and driving but of lying to the police, which, you’re obviously not aware, is one of these serious things that crop up now and again.
no.
“bullshit your way out” … not obvious enough for you?
And, if he did it, repeatedly lying to the media, his colleagues, his voters and the public. Law-makers cannot be law-breakers: simple as that!
Lord Archer lied to the police
and look what he got !
An open prison, allowed out to decent restauants and a place to work on his book, using inmates as his research material.
Million quid in book royalties – punishment, ker-ching or what?
yep, giving the finger to the fuzz or a wiggie is regarded as far more serious than the crime you may have lied about.
Contempt of court etc etc.
It’s a horrific crime.
Surpassed only by smoking in a park.
Funny how lefties always find a way to excuse their own!
Not all Ian. I’m a righty but
I just don’t want to see him as
strange fruit for motoring ‘problems’
Whatever you think,it is generally a jail sentence unless you’ve had a fit of conscience and voluntarily ‘fessed up yourself.Too late now for Huhne if this story is true and they have enough evidence.
“Whatever you think” – no, I’m going on what I’ve read in sentencing guidelines, and the 2 cases back that up.
Whatever you assert, I don’t give a monkey’s unless you can back it up with something verifyable.
Think of all the excess omissions Huhne creates as he is speeding around the country!
Is he going to have a quiet word with Barack about his carbon footprint with “The Beast”.
Two jumbo’s, two helicopters ,twenty four vehicles and over a thousand staff
that’s some footprint !
Nearly as big as Michelle’s arse
She’s REALLY fugly, too!
Mo cushin’ fo ma pushin’…
On the National Express there’s a jolly hostess
Selling crisps and tea
She’ll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks
For a sky-high fee
Mini-Skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle
Back in ’63 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it’s hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country
The Beast ? Fuck me it wasn’t to clever with the Paddies tank trap was it. Fucking rendered O’Bama a sitting target despite their deployment of the minibus !
Huhne’s excess emissions tend to come out of his mouth.
I thought he was toast already because he hadn’t killed the story by day 11?
And you are missing the point. Evidence that Huhne was driving is not enough: he can still run an “honest mistake” defence. You underestimate the importance of the point that the only prosecution witness is manifestly as mad as a meataxe and out to get him by any means possible. A half-way competent barrister acting for Huhne will have her frothing at the mouth in the witness box and the judge stopping the trial.
Like the IMF chappie?
Consensual driving?
Are you saying one law for the rich and another law fo . . .
No, I am saying the same law for everyone: you need to prove stuff beyond reasonable doubt, and to do that you need credible and unbiased evidence.
Credibility is a matter for a jury.
Big mistake underestimating a woman of that calibre – far more brains than the huhne, far more cunning, she has some aces up her sleeve, trust me – wait and see. As for frothing – hardly, she is used to public speaking, thinking on her feet, usedto boardroom backstabbing and all the rest. She’ll have the Barrister frothing in exasperation, if anything.
Isn’t Huhne’s wife incriminating herself as well in criminal activity?
Surely this is pointing to her obstructing/perverting the course of justice by aiding and abetting her husband to evade sanction for his conduct, i.e. Her taking his speeding points.
Will the police also prosecute her?
The Stun sez she claims to have been “bullied” to go along with the perverter of Justice – she has a witness, at least one daughter. And I would strongly suspect, much more evidence, or it would have never have got this far.
Such a defence relies on the “bullying” taking the form of a serious threat to life and limb. Ie gun to the head, family taken hostage etc
Not really, if he had already done the dirty deed, sent the forms in, coerced her signature, a witness will be able to prove the bullying took place. He would have said, if I go down, your career goes down too…
Quite.
I cannot imagine that the interviews were conducted any way other than under caution, as to do otherwise would lead to them being inadmissable as evidence as against either suspect (as both must be in an allegation of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice).
On the pretty safe working assumption that Huhne admitted nothing criminal, the Dibble are left with an embittered former partner with a fucking great axe to grind and a bit of circumstantial. Unless someone tips up with a picture of his gurning mug in the speed camera shots, the CPS would have to be on acid before authorising the go-ahead on prosecuting a Minister of the Crown.
Well said Brother. That is the line the Grand Master has indicated the Chief Constable of Essex shoulld follow. Boaz
Chris Huhne is the Widow’s son.
To the best of my knowledge there is no known case of LSD causing anyone to take on the onerous task of launching a prosecution against a minister of the Crown. Is this another urban myth like the Strichnine one ?
According to sarahbrown gordon’s planning to be in parliament today for omaha’s speech.
What a laugh! gordon can’t be bothered to turn up to parliament to do his day job for which we the taxpayer are paying him handsomely, but as soon as omaha appears, gordon can’t get to the HoC fast enough.
No doubt he thinks its another chance to lobby the yankeeone for that imf job.
Bet Obama’s gonna steer well clear of any kitchens
Cant see the Browns on the palace nosh up video
maybe they had to sit outside with a glass of fizzy orange !
Brown had to leave early when he soiled his breeches and started throwing assorted tableware at startled guests
LOL!
He was probably throwing nokias at the corgis and shat his breeches when Phil shouted “Mater it’s that one eyed jock twat, where’s me elephant gun”
They were on the “kids’ table” – a little plastic number just off to the side. Wipe clean – no mess, no fuss.
FFS she still thinks she is pm’s wife !
As We ?
you need to fuck off you nutter !
A good point, well made
Sarah: more work needed on the thighs and arse before we take you seriously.
Yes, and have a shave!!!
You Sarah are not hosting anyone and YOU do not speak for the British people.
Why was this post modded?
Thankfully not
No they aren’t; they are too busy thinking what a complete fucking twat your mail order husband is. You may have been to the palace last night but you re not fucking royalty, so that is enough speaking for the nation from you.
She’s so fucking stupid she should be on mumsnet.
But I thought by not fucking stupid she was a beard?
I couldn’t give a flying fuck about them – I don’t know them, so I don’t care.
Are the uS using Tornado bombers now?
If they did they would be very well made and much better than anyone elses planes. Anyone calling an american plane terrible is clearly a pinko who should go and live in moscow.
What terrible US tornado?
The one’s ordered up on demand from HAARP, silly.
No we are not! i dont give a fuck about them or that racist Brit hating sock puppet they have as a president, so fuck off and keep yours and the gormless fuckwits delusions to yourselves, my biggest regret is you and the dope aren’t there with a fucking huge concrete block on top of you.
I was “hugging” a bush
when the teacher in the playground saw me and phoned the police
i got five years
They got lost en-route. Not familiar with London anymore as he never sees the need to do his job there
Wonder what the Duke of Ed. did to offend the honoured guests.
My money’s on explaining to them slowly and patiently what the cutlery was for.
With each day that passes this feels more and more like Huhne is safer actually. If it was going to do for him, he would probably be gone by now.
You have to wonder about the competency of plod these days. When they are not killing demonstrators, they are letting thugs drive women to suicide and seem to be more interested in taking backhanders from the press
And still the media are not brave enough to print “Huhne is guilty”. What a hypocritical world we live in.
Huhne is still a pompous twat though!
We’re just waiting until Obama The Great One has finished his pre-election PR tour of Old Europe. Then we’ll just quietly release the info having briefed selected friendly media organisations.
That’ll learn Therasa et al.
He could have saved a few by just admitting his guilt. Hang him!
Yeth – becausth he didn’t feth upth straigt awayth to hith cwime, my fwiend Mr Clarkth will enthure Lord Huhne geth doublth timth!
I don’t care for Obama. Most British people think he’s the second coming of Jesus but in many ways he’s worse than Bush. He’s escalated US intervention in the Middle East, overspent way more than Bush ever did, and has extended the patriot act. But if you were to listen to the media, you’d think he’s a peacenik hippie who’s economic policies have produced heaven on Earth.
How many times ! It’s not what you do it’s what you say !
For self-referentiality
Denmark bans Marmite.
Time for Dave to ban Danish Bacon
I thought this European super market thingy was supposed to stop such trade embargoes
Why is Marmite a moderated subject?
Obvious really: Marmite = Cavenham Foods = James Goldsmith (or Sir Jams Fishpaste as Private Eye had it) = father of Zac and Jemima. Hence the link with superinjunctions and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
I’ll get my tinfoil hat ….
Often eaten with r’ice and p’ees?
You either love it or hate it. The Danes clearly hate it.
Isn’t it against EUSSR rules though?
post graveyard 95: Marmite and EUSSR rules.
The english translation of them does indeed mean that countries can’t ban stuff thats legal in other countries. All goes back to GERMANS (of all people) thinking that their citizens would damage themselves beyond repair with French Creme de Cassis.
Of course the translations of EU rules in other languages contain the caveat “ignore this shit if you like”.
So we can all get caned to fuck over here, just like in Amshterdam?
Bollocks to work and gimme a bifter.
http://www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com/detritus/spunk.jpg
Then we must ban this. For Jemima. And Peter!
Tell me who he is and I’ll get him at playtime
Why would the cops say whether it was ‘under caution’ or not? They don’t have to say anything until (if) he is charged with an offence.
He should be charged with (i) being a twat in a built-up area, and (ii) having a dog without a muzzle. That’ll do for starters.
When you book into carparks at Stanstead you always have to give your registration number. If those records still exist, and Mr Huhne’s car was parked at Stanstead, you can guarantee his wife didn’t go and pick him up…
Not worth the effort, everyone knows that he was the driver. The real offence to prove is did he say that his wife was driving or did his wife say that she was driving.
Why is Dr1ver a moderated word?
Try wiki.
innocent.
Been stated over and over MEPs have FREE annual BAA car park passes! It was routine for the huhne to drive himself to the airport and get flights to and from the EEC – probably drove home hafl pissed all the time too.
ASHCROFT!!!!!!
OT listening to radio 4 this morning they had a yank on and he seemed to be creaming his kecks over the fact that Obambi the Irishman/Englishman/Kenyian/soon to find a Chinese relly/American president was in this country and how less tribal the politics was in this country and how the nuconned us politicians praised B liar and how our beloved leader Cameron the rusty warmonger was into green issues, so rusty IS the true heir to B liar, still one vote less then.
Hussain Obama is a half chat darkie.
I’m back!
Lol
This shit is getting as desperate as the Pikey’s gay hate campaign against Hague
Yesterday afternoon the Leader of the Labour Party, the honourable Ed Miliband was able to find time in his busy schedule to have an audience with President Obama. The charismatic leader of the free world was very impressed with President Obama. After a reception at Buckingham Palace President Obama will quickly move on to France. Commenting on his whistle stop tour to meet Mr Miliband, President Obama said he was pleased to meet with Mr Miliband and only wished they had had more ‘face time’ to discuss ‘progrethive politics’. ”We have a lot to learn” he said.
Old crime, he said she said, divorce
Just the kind of stuff the police wouldn’t normally touch with a bargepole. I have no love for Huhne, but really, people in Essex are sat waiting for X hours for a copper after their home is trashed in a break in, and you are calling for them to waste time on this shit.
I’m getting more convinced that they only drag these cases through the courts if they have far more aggravating features.
Come on Billy, no sulking. You can’t be first every time
Does Obamarama’s visit mean that there are no PMQs today?
What’s missing is evidence of whether the Huhne’s car was in the freebie parking space for MEP’s at Stansted. This is/was presumably in some sort of reserve parking requiring some sort of barrier entry and exit.
Extremely difficult to see how VP could have got there to pick him up if the vehicle was already there
mebbe he was pissed so got VP to get the Stanstead express from London to drive him home….
I am not so sure that marrying Justine is a good idea. Do I really have to do it to stand any chance of being a PM?
It doesn’t matter. marry her and then get on MP Committees that have to visit Eastern Europe and the Far East. I will then show you the ropes when we get out there. Weh Hey, taxpayer funded shagging!
100!
Forgive me if this hasn’t already been said but as I see it there is something totally illogical at the centre of the `Huhne’ affair. It is alleged that at the time MEP’s had dedicated parking at Stanstead and it was thus normal for Huhne to drive himself back to Clapham from the airport. Why on earth would he solicit a lift from his wife…..given that she had been attending a dinner in London, therefore leaving his car at the airport necessitating another lift to Stanstead when he wanted to return to Brussels/Strasburg? Doesn’t make sense to me but then I usually use the Stanstead Express like other mere mortals.
Stansted Express to Liverpool Street
Central Line to Bank (standing room only)
Northern Line to Kennington (standing room only) changing platforms to take the Morden train via Clapham Common or Clapham South (might get a seat after Stockwell)?
rather explains the choice of journey.
He arrives Stansted 22:25 might just make the 22:55 into London, journey takes 45 mins, reaches Liverpool Street 23:40. If lucky another 30-45 mins to Clapham Common.
Nuff said – only drunks and muggers on the tube that time of night, then he has to run the gauntlet of bum bandits/gaybashers on walk home.
Don’t think so somehow.
Quick…unless they’re now pulling together a record of all points accumulated by cars owned or driven by Huhne.
If he’s lied about this once…his probably lied before or since. I think the term is “serial offender”. I expect if the police mention this, a number of individuals will come forward and assist police enquiries to avoid being charged with perverting the course of justice. A quick presser might save the fuzz a lot of leg work
The plod are too busy protecting vunerable people from thugs and thieves and murderers, and crooks and liars and arrogant thick fucking bastards,oh sorry! thats them isn’t it.
It is almost certain that HOON will not be charged. The case is just getting an airing to distract from the goings on in Libya. No minister of the crown would ever do anything wrong in this best of all possible worlds
No, but Huhne might be.
One can only hope….
Using the Duckworth-Lewis method of points accumulation it is clear that Chris Huhne has never driven a car in his life
The Telegraph reported that Huhne spoke to Essex police yesterday (according to Huhne’s spokesman). If the Essex rozzers aren’t commenting, that is probably because they are following procedure.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8534198/Chris-Huhne-and-ex-wife-interviewed-by-detectives.html
Surely a key question is the location of the car – had it been left at the airport or was it in London. There may be credit card payments or other records for airport parking or proof of other location which would put it in the care of Huhne or his wife prior to the offence. If airport parking it would be difficult to make a case for his wife travelling to the airport by some other means just to drive him back home.
Look, you morons. We’re busy, OK? We’re short-staffed and we’ve got most of our blokes at Stansted surrounding Air Force One. Why? Because this county’s full of chavs who want to nick bits off it for souvenirs. And anyway, Huhne’s innocent.
