Huhne Ally Grasping at Straws
The Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle diary had an interesting snippet about Huhne this morning. It appears his defence lines are already being acid-tested. A source said:
“It’s very rare for a minister, while in office, to be charged with a crime. It’s also a very unusual case in that the man accused – and the wife accusing him – might both be prosecuted.”
It’s rare for a man purported to be of noble standing to hide behind his family in such a way, so Guido is unsure of the point there…
However it was the final line that really caught his attention:
“Huhne’s lawyers could argue there was an abuse of process in the way the case was brought to court.”
Er, how exactly? The CPS are being meticulous before they pull the trigger – going backwards and forwards to Essex Police. If they charge him it will all be by the book…
UPDATE: He’s got some cheek too:
As Cameron mocked Ed Mili over "getting his collar felt over policing", Chris Huhne was getting v animated, pointing at Labour front bench.—

Why does he not just resign?
I thought he had gone months back – we dont see his smug face on telly much nowadays
Mediocracy: How It Works:- The idea seems to have long been to shape/corral all three main parties towards the centre so that nothing much is ever done to impede the interests of business, and the electorate (consumers) becomes so disenchanted with politics that they effectively give up in despair or just ennui. Any statist parties in the meantime are vilified, that’s how the corraling works. There are activists everywhere to do just that. This effectively leaves politicians answerable to those who fund them, i.e business. Legislation is then debated and enacted which facilitates their interests at the expense of the public/consumers. Whatever happens, you see less as less Governance, i.e less and less Public Sector/Services. This inane talk about differences between parties is just the cynical process of wearing the public down.
Looks like being governed by EU is better than Westminster. Commission is not even elected, at least we can be happy that we weren’t fooled into voting them also we cannot do any thing to change them.
When is Clegg going to show some leadership and sack him?
When is Laws going to be referred to the police to be investigated for falsely accounting £56,000 to buy a house for his boyfriend?
He might have been entitled to more he might be a homosexual, but these are not defences to the criminal offence, they might provide mitigation for sentencing but that is at the ned of the process when guilt or innocence is proclaimed.
I suppose Huhne will be found a job in the EU like Mandelson, Patten, Kinnock(s). A good boost to their pensions in addition to rent from their second homes paid for by the taxpayer.
MPs still receive RPI inflation pay increases while imposing CPI on everyone else. Guido, does Sir Stuart have a second (or third) home that we pay for??
I makes my blood boil to see special people above the law.
Has anybody guessed yet
Looters were persecuted in days some within hours, they were convicted as well. But for our honorable MPs, its a different story. Tony McNaulty is still out, Osborne (£50,000 flip flop) is still out, so are number of others.
I fail to see why Lyons investigates in the first instance and the police second.
Criminal prosecutions should always come before internal discipline because of the rule of law. Guido, could you explain please.
Alexander is a flip flop and is in charge of HMRC to crack down on tax evaders. Good Old Lie Dumbs.
You are wrong according to this government they are wealth creators if you make them pay taxes they will leave. Same is true for our MPs, if they are stopped from claiming dubious expense they will leave the country as well. Its same for bankers, if they are not protected by tax payers they will leave as well.
What will you do if Laws, Osborne, bankers, tax evaders, etc leave this country?
David, if Lyons investigates first, then it emasculates any future police enquiry. That’s why both Chris and I reported each other to Lyons to keep the police off our backs, and it would have worked if Fawkes had not campaigned against us in this blog. Don’t worry, anyway Chris, the Grand Master is looking out for you. Boaz. Her’s one of mine to cheer you up.
FFS, ya fecking hoor, you’d think you’d never tangled with the Law when it comes to driving cars. Haven’t I still got the bracelet here at home.
p’raps he’s innocent.
I can see the roof of your house from here.
Perhaps Prescott is a size zero supermodel.
Sunday would be a good day to bury bad news.
If Huhne just changered his name each day, every body would forgot everythign he did before and then nobody would know what a huhne he really is
What the hell does ‘changered’ mean? Billy – your use of English is even worse than the unending flow of drivel from the ubiquitous Anonymous, who seems to think Guido’s site is his own. Please go away and learn to write, then you’ll be most welcome to come back to the blogs. OK?
Can we get out of Afghanistan and Libya now

and can we arrest Tony Blair for war crimes
Yes .
Just following orders. As you were.
Now let’s focus on those nasty evil people in w o g countries and war criminals banged up for 25 years from the former Yugoslavia
If its illegal war; it doesn’t stop with Blair, Cameron is continuing it. Its like looters, one breaks in others follow; if one is a criminal others are as well.
I saved a life today.
I left my car in the garage.
It is a little known fact that in Greece, after Father has finished his evening Gyros, he will gather the little ones round & teach them the secrets of the space-time continuum.
I see Illiterate Wanker hasn’t made it into the top eight.
Pensioned off? Too much to hope for.
You Rang Sir
“It is a pleasure to win this award. I’ve just come from addressing about 300 bankers in the City of London and it says something about my profession that I was still the most unpopular person in the room. It is a fine recognition.
“I’m not sure who actually reads the politics pages of GQ magazine though – I suspect they are the only pages of the magazine that a teenage boy hasn’t stuck together while reading the magazine. Some might say that’s because the w*****s are on the page rather than reading them.”
Greasy Osborne Esq
Better Greasy George than greasy Balls…
eeuuuuuuuw.
The answer my fiends, – is blowing in the wind
The ansa is blowing in the wind
Have I mentioned that I have a nice little earner?
Blow, wind, and crack your cheeks!
CPS are taking an awful long time over this one. I hope that is an indication he will face as many charges as Moran.
They’re sitting on the file for now, but the case will be dropped at some point, as being ‘not in the public interest’. See if I’m wrong.
I am as sceptical of the CPS as it’s possible to be but don’t see how charge of pervertiing justice can be avoided – either Huhne did by evading points or his wife did by accusing him publicly.
I’m still betting nothing at all will happen to Huhne.
I need him for the Climate change scam
‘carina’ needs to think again about that haircut. Perhaps get the barber to cut round a larger bowl next time?
It’ll soon be the LibDem conference and hoteliers all over Birmingham are getting out the waterproof undersheets, while the pharmacists are laying in extra supplies of flavoured condoms.
Orange?
. . the Limp Dims know about SEX?
Whatever next!
Will there be a talk on personal hygiene?
And not only just talk! – fancy sharing my shower ducky?
Monkier.
Billy is back – where have you been Billy?
I got alot of abuse last week and peoples were sayin i got a new arsehole torn so i backed off, and did some secrat posting under other monkiers
We noticed c’unt
Interesting!
Shame I can’t print any more of Gordon’s Funny Money just yet.
I enjoy that.
He is a sociopath either in denial or just shitting himself
Yeah – but the car!
The political elite from all three parties are all obviously above the law.
Rusty Dave Cameron – how weak is he? – he cannot even sack this Huhne or Cable.
Oh he’s way above all that!
The law is only for little, dull, unintelligent people. Ask Tony or Cherry.
This is going nearly as well as your e petition Guido
well done.
I hope they force the prick to pay for his own heating in the cells.
He’ll have plenty of immersion heaters to keep him warm! You might say . . . central heating!
So people who stole a bottle of water get rushed through the justice system within weeks yet Chris Hunts is put of by dely.
Time to consider bringing back the birch.
do you mean Cherie?
Once a Huhne always a Hunt.
(Only one of those ‘Huhne’s was in my original comment, the site’s added the other – can you guess which?)
Is there a prize
Was Peter Hain at the KLM open today?
Hey Billy, why are you posting under a different name. It is fun, but still obviously you.
It’s also a very unusual case in that the man accused – and the wife accusing him – might both be prosecuted.”
We told her to keep her trap shut.
This case might not go quite the way they intended. Hence all the back and forth stuff…
Hoons
What was the name of the midget on Fantasy Island?
Long John Silver?
John Bercow?
dun’o? Passe

Lofty.
Oh we couldn’t possibly risk losing Chris – he’s far too valuable a prop! . . I mean propeller . . . I mean property . . I mean MP

Mister Huhne hides behind his family like I hide behind the profits of the bank
ROFL
It used to be very rare for MPs and Ermin Vermin Lords not only to be charged but CONVICTED my dear Ephraim
You are one generation behind the curve
Are they still married. She is not complellable as a witness if the divorsce has not gone throught
Anyone for a moral collapse ?
Sorry guv, after thirteen years of Labour we’re fresh out of moral collapses.
I’m for a homo gang bang
I will never get my collar felt
I will have run away long before that happens

ROFL
Don’t publish our secret Eddyboy…
And mine
Why do you think I am the “Middle East envoy” ?
They look after me you know like I looked after all of them in Hampstead who bought my titles
Tony Blair lied about Iraq. If he had not then Baha Mousa would still be alive, along with thousands of others. Blair has ruined the lives of families for ever.
Why is he aloud to get away with it?
too late for them he’s already carter-rucked.
Huhne should get told of Jack Straw’s lawyers (well known to this blog)
To get him out of the spot of bother
http://www.rense.com/general38/brits.htm
for background…
Banksters moll’s get away with it driver
Its one of those car designs, that looks fast even when you’r Not driving it
They seek him here – they seek him there
His clothes are drab – and so’s his hair
It will make or break him so he’s got to lie the best
Cause he’s a dedicated premature orgasm
And when he does – his little rounds
Around the hacks – of old London Town
Eagerly pursuing any poss-i-ble way out
Cause he’s a dedicated premature orgasm
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is) – oh yes he is (oh yes he is)
He thinks he is a brainbox to be looked at
And when he pulls his frilly LibDem panties right up tight
He feels a dedicated premature orgasm
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is) – oh yes he is (oh yes he is)
There’s one thing that he loves and that is twattery
One week he’s in his missus, the next he’s gone off piste
Cause he’s a dedicated premature orgasm
They seek him here, they seek him there
Up the M11 – around Parliament Square
Everywhere the potty LibDem army marches on
Each one a dedicated premature orgasm
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is) – oh yes he is (oh yes he is)
His world is built around wind turbines and speeding
This bullshit-craving individual always looks a pest
Cause he’s a dedicated premature orgasm
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is) – oh yes he is (oh yes he is)
He flits from fib to fib just like a butterfly
In matters of wedlock he is as fickle as can be
Cause he’s a dedicated premature orgasm
He’s a dedicated, premature orgasm
He’s a dedicated, premature orgasm
*Applauds* Kinky! I am in Paradise.
Thank you. I don’t what came over me; but that was easy.
