Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
Result!!!!!!
two weeks max now .
More like 2 Years
3-4 months tops
33% off if you plead guilty.
50% off because the prisons are full
50% off as an MP discount.
7 days.
Suspended for a week with time served taken into consideration, you are free to go.
suspended by his genitals hopefully
Given that his genitals please a bull-dyke, it may not just be his alibi that has a hole in it.
As Christ said to me only yesterday, “if any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone”
Nah. Perverting the course of justice is taken seriously because it’s a crime against the legal system, and not humdrum crimes against plebs and their property. Lying himself, and getting someone else to join him in the lie, might earn him a full Archer with a bit of luck.
Wasn’t that what Archer was done for and got a decent amount of porridge for?
We went through the guidelines and the cases some time ago.
Giving the points to someone who wasn’t even part of the scam were in range of 3-4 months.
Conspiracy !!!
He involved another and planned his crime
30/48 months
TAKE HIM DOWN
As long as it gets rid of the EU / Green Fascist loving numbty I’m not complaining.
When will you beasty right wing nutters stop picking on poor Chris? he is doing great work for this natoin and is building a greener, cleener world for everyone. Yet you ghastly people exist is an abombination and you should all be gassed.
You were a victim of Educationx3 then. Poor thing.
Need to brighten up that video a bit, and get some make up on that fat c*nt asking the questions
building a greener, cleener world for everyone

Do as we say, little person, not as we do…

On the wider topic, not long ago a sick 75yo was jailed for taking his son’s points.

More than half of NHS trusts are risking people’s sight by restricting access to cataract surgery in a bid to save money, according to a new report.
Many are imposing ‘arbitrary’ restrictions on who can have a cataract operation, with people treated in some parts of the country but not others.
Some primary care trusts (PCTs) say patients must reach a certain threshold of vision loss before they are treated, while others allow a patient to be treated in one eye but not the other.
Eye specialists say some patients have been refused an operation by a health trust even though their job relies on them being able to drive or operate machinery.

Then be bloody grateful that labour did not win the 2010 election, for they didn’t promise to ring-fence NHS spending and would be forced, by the increased interest charged on the ever increasing debt, to slash NHS spending deeper than the coalition has.
Wasn’t my PFI idea for stuffing all these hospitals wonderful?
Just as well this isn’t India. Would take about 13 years before it came to court, longer with bigger bribes
Not long now eh Guido
Just reduce your carbon footprints and leave me alone.
After you Chris, there’s a good chap.
Can I transfer my carbon footprint to my wife?
I’m sure he would like to stamp all over her in Carbon Steel boots
May i just remind readers that this is not about 3 points, This is about a minster of the crown perverting the course of justice. Lawmakers cannot be law breakers, If Chris had come clean when this first broke then many might have given him the benifit of the doubt and seen it as “Ok i have been caught, its a fair cop guv”, A bit like David Laws , He reisigned 1-2 days after his story broke (tho still waiting to see him in court charged with fraud/theft).
Chris Hunts hiding and spinning give people more distain (If possible) towards the politcal class, Just go back 2 threads and see that they are exempt from the laws they impose on us.
Keep it up Guido and co.
He also gave assurances to the PM and the DPM that there was no substance to the allegations; some might call that lying, I couldn’t possibly comment.
It is, to quote a famous politician, a “terminological inexactitude”.
Hillary Clinton calls it “misspeaking”.
“Politicians are obliged from time to time to conceal the full truth, to bend it and even distort it, where the interests of the bigger strategic goal demand it be done. And don’t get too offended by it; we all make these decisions every day in our business and personal lives.”
Tony Blair in his book A Journey – 2010
But did they believe him?
If they did, then they are unbelievably thick
Well said Billy.
Chris is a man of the highest integrity!
Which Chris are talking about?
Er……could you define integrity.
Something that is worth lying to defend.
I will let no man near my huhne.
Ms. Pryce might an alternative point of view.
Integrity for hire!
We live in kleptocracy.

Time for more direct democracy.
Time for UKIP.
Wasn’t there some fraud at UKIP?
Expenses?
Not on steady ground here Bill
Who cares?
We have let all the main three have a go and they are all identical. They all want to micro-manage us into multicultural PC hell and personal poverty.
They need a massive kick in the balls.
Quite right – we need a fourth identical party.
BQ, this make an interesting read on Farage and the kippered pygmies.

Junius? Have you resorted to that obsessive nutter? Jesus wept, you must be desperate.
I agree he is an obsessive nutter, but you should ask yourself why has Farage not sued him yet?
Paled into insignificance against common market agricultural budget.
Qunago? Long lunch, Bill?
Doubt it 2.24 is a bit early to return fron long lunch
Cameron funnelling £9 billion pounds of British taxpayers money to Greece via the Euro slush fund called the IMF should be the priority for Her Majestys Opposition.
Unfortunately both David Cameron & Ed Miliband agree on the final destination for the UK – its only the route that is a matter of dispute between them.
We need a real Prime Minister – & a real Leader of the Opposition.
The Conservatives are finished with Cameron – UKIP is the only place for our Tory votes now.
Great video. More please.
Regards,
Tom
sorry for being late… The last fag thread
Nice try at spin Guido….. errr think you will find that Dave’s motley crew voted in favour of the ban.
And the most funny part…and its true…. Smoking ban was a FREE vote. Guess who NEVER voted…..Yes…DAVE
Furthermore…. Real reason pubs are closing
High rents, high price of Sky sports, high price of beer .
Fags are dying out, nearly £7 a packet.
Wrong.
But do not let the facts of the anti liberatarian smoking ban get in the way of your defence of big state fascism.

Yeah, you’re big on that. Ha ha ha

Bill Qunago MP?
Are you one of those fast tracked immigrant newcomers to the UK who rusty Dave so desparately wants in Parliament?
And the hounding goes on.
You right wing nutters are so on the wrong track, your constant spin and smears against one of the most effictive ministers ever known to politics is very dissapointing.
I bet everyone of you here has broken the law in the past, should we hound you everyday with non-truths till you end up admitting to something that you have not done just to stop some wiredos shouting crap and give some percived justice?
Your double standards are so clear to see, you want innocent until found guilty for your lot, but guilty until found innocent for everyone else.
Still, i will enjoy it when your hero Guido has to publish a apology and go home with his tail between his legs.
What a bunch of washed up bankers you are.
Is that Hari?
“effictive”. “dissapointing”. “wiredos”. “percived”. “a apology”. “i will enjoy”.
Come on, Mark. You’re an “editor”. Try editing.
I bet everyone of you here has broken the law in the past, should we hound you everyday with non-truths till you end up admitting to something that you have not done
But Mark..If we HAD broken the law then we would be being hounded to admit something that we HAD done. Which is what’s happening here.
Judging by the number of spelin and gramer mistaches it might be Billy.
A foretaste of what the education system would produce under a LimpDum government?
I resent that allegation!
Billy, are you secretly “Mark Pack”?! It’s just that it’s rather odd that both your posting names link to an incorrectly-spelled website….
Hmmmmmmmm
I am not mark pack.
Billy is Mark Kack
Billy doesn’t sympathise with criminals.
And besides , the mark pack posts are funny so deffo not me (after seeing the thumbs for last caption conest)
Ha ha! You’re funnier than you give yourself credit for, old bean!
But he never wins owt.
Yeah, he’s fucking funny alright.
And Judge Dread?
At least use spellcheck before you post your delusionary cant.
Surely you missed the sarchastic /sarchastic part of the message?
If you’ve broken the law you take your punishment like a man. Penalty points I accepted with the minimum of curses. I most certainly did not try to pass them off on to someone else. My then missus had enough of her own points anyway.
If he did not try to evade his rightful punishment then he would keep his job and his liberty.
It’s not that he broke the law, it is that he thinks he is above it.
I broke the law by speeding. When I was nicked, I admitted it, held my hands up and took the punishment.
I did not coerce someone else to take the points, thus engaging in conspiracy to pervert the cause of justice, and neither did I continuously lie about such afterwards.
IF Chris has done the above, then this should be tried in court and if he is found guilty on the evidence presented, then he should be imprisoned for more than one year, kicked out of Parliament and the Liberal Democrats.
Many of us are tempted to ask our spouses / partners to take points. However if you read the warnings about so doing you have to be stupid or inherently criminal to do so. Pakamack would have us believe that Huhne is not stupid, ipso he must be inherently criminal.
Hear ye the words of a consistent loser.
Less of the right wing, Mark. We prefer to see ourselves as equal opportunity nutters.
Talking of constant spin, refering to him as ‘ one of the most effictive ministers ever known to politics ‘, really is hyperbole above and beyond the call of duty !
Admit it
You fancy him don’t you?
It’s surprising that there have been Huhnites trolling here. We can tell that they were trolls because they haven’t been saying “He didn’t do it” or “Even if he did it, he shouldn’t be sacked” but have just baldly asserted that he wouldn’t resign.
It suggests that Fawkesy has rattled him.
If it’s found that he lied to the police and was involved in breaking the law he really hasn’t got the option has he ?? He will also probably have to at least get the backing of his constituency commitee or whatever the LibDems have to remain as MP as well in those circumstances. A bit pricey(no pun intended) for sparing himself 3 points and fixed penalty of £60…it’s always the cover up not the offence that does for ‘em in the end……
Poor Chris had plenty of options.
The Tony Defence – shred all the evidence so that its impossible to prove a crime.
The Prescott defence – He’s such an arse that he can’t really be expected to be responsible for his own actions.
The Smith defence – It was all within the rules.. and we write the rules so we know its OK.
The Blears defence – A simple accounting error but huge contrition for fiddling something she couldn’t possibly have been expected to know about before, and wave an apology cheque about {Has this been cashed BTW?}
The Lord Taylor defence. – {which seems to be the Liberal Activists defence of choice} – Everyone does it. It can’t be illegal if everyone does it, right?
The Mandelson defence. – I’m resigning on a matter of principle. But I’m booking a return ticket and I’ll be back next Monday and when I’ll have a new Governemnt job.
The Brown defence – It all started in America.
The Blair Defence (Part 1) – Shred the receipts.
The Devine Defence – find some mousey woman to blame it on.
The Sunday Times should have handed the tape to Essex Police by now. By keeping the tape, the Sunday Times is delaying the prosecution of Chris Huhne. The sooner he is prosecuted – the better.
Off-topic but I think today’s performance by the Squeaker was his most disgraceful yet. He has gone way beyond the limits of his role. He has absolutely no right to interrupt the prime minister in the middle of his answer and to make a dig at a long answer by Cameron by saying “Prime minister’s questions is primarily for backbenchers”. There should be immediate moves to remove this first class cock.
It’s also 2 weeks running that the Speaker has, doubtless inadvertantly, overridden the PM’s punchline.
“doubtless inadvertantly”
yeah right.
Breathtaking how lacking in subtlety he was.
Almost makes his position untenable.
They need to bring in random drink and drugs testing into the Commons workplace.
Calm down dears! There is a long and winding road from getting this tape to convicting anyone on the strength of it. So let’s play nice and let the DPP conclude there is no case to answer. Which he will.
Hat tip to me btw for the simple sword of truth gag a couple of days back.
What amuses me intensely about Bercow, is his utterly partisan pro-Labour approach and the thought that Cameron, not only supported the offensive little turd, he warned off Tories in Bercow’s constituency, from supporting a real Conservative candidate to unseat the poisonous midget.
Well done Dave! That worked a treat.
Don’t forget that “Dave” also effectively cost himself 10 seats to LibDems by allowing Clegg into the Prime Ministerial debates and allowing Clegg to walk all over him in the first debate resulting a stratospheric personal rating for LibDems ahead of the election(Clegg was never ever gonna by PM in a million years)against advice…the result is the present mess
Cant he just blame someone who is now dead?
Jesus?
Was thinking more like Micheal Foot? Saddam hussain?
Or a dead man walking ??
I thought “dEaD” Milliband Shown Call me Dave Up Today !
When he pointed out that Dave’s “Bonfire on Quango’s” with in the NHS
would rise from 168 to a staggering 550 under Dave’s reforms
Dave struggled to answer any questions regarding if his cronies would just be moved from one quango to another !
More and more Dave is convincing me that he is not up to the job
Yes, five more years of Gordon Brown would have been infinitely preferable.
Might be 550 smaller, more local and better focused organisations that will be cheaper to run and give a better service. Is it not all about moving away from inefficient, expensive centralised control? That said, Dave is trying my patience.
We Don’t Fucking Need Any of Them
This is just FREE tax payers money for the idle rich !
Nice one! As pointed out earlier, you have to be thick or of a criminal persuasion to even consider asking someone else to take the points. There is of course a third possibility which implies that your ego is so offensively large that you don’t consider yourself to be subject to the laws of the land. I think a combination of all three may be in play. If there is a prosecution and if he is found guilty, some faith in our judicial system will be restored
I think it’s the third possibility in play.
Incredible isn’t it, what vanity and power can do.

According to the Standard, there are plans for rioting tomorrow during the strikes. Kettle time.
I’m so concerned about workers’ rights and the struggling high street shops, I’m going to London to kick the crap out of everything I see.
Shop workers and shop windows, mainly.
They’ll be bleating on that “Direct Action is the only way to get their message accross”.
A bit like a wife-beating husband who justifies his actions by saying “Look what you made me do”
I think it’s about time that all workers were not paid at all, ever again. They can barter their clothes and household items just as in the 19th century. Let them eat what they can find from rich mans’ tables. The rich and famous will regain their rightful place as the elite of an elite nation. Women and children will know their place and all will be well with the world. After all, it’s mine, my land, my homes, my money and my country

Neo-Guido’s latest Commentator article (linked in Seen Elsewhere) has the most succinct critique I’ve read of Milli-minor:
“He is doing his constitutional position a disservice by not raising legitimate questions that he wants to know more about, and instead desperately trying to score points for a temporary reprieve to the questions surrounding his leadership.”
Hear, hear, Harry.
I will continue sabotaging Britain’s energy supply, wrecking the countryside, and bringing maximum hardship to ordinary Britons, right up until the moment I’m forced to resign.
I suspect they’ll have to drag you out kicking and screaming. Mark Cack will come and visit you inside.
Huhne will get away with it. They always do, don’t they? One rule for them, another for us.
Not always
Come the next election, I plan to join the Tories. I know I’ll lose my seat as a Limp Dump.
As if any politician doesn’t know who guido fawkes is!
Guido who?
Huhne – the embodiment of self righteous smarmy gitness. Hope he gets what’s coming to him. Why hasn’t Cameron sacked him already?
