Keir Stammer the Director of Public Prosecutions told Radio Five this morning:
“We are very close to a decision. There is one remaining issue which is that we are seeking some material which is held by a national newspaper. That is the only thing we are waiting for now … I understand why people think it is taking a lot of time but the way in which we get material from journalists is an important principle, quite separate from the Chris Huhne case.”
Soon Huhnie my boy. Soon.

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.
What a christmas present that would be
Still no news from the other fake Billy on where FTSE going today – he’s always keen to announce when its going South
Another win for science (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15726810) over the god botherers.
I am really so upset. My portfolio has gone up…
Well, it’s gone down, down, down, up a bit, down, down, then up a bit more.
Not really. Mine goes up and down quite regularly.
Fuck yeah!
The prison cell is coming quite soon
For the odious Christopher Huhne
Big Vern anticipating
Huhney’s ring penetrating
And we’ll all be over the moon
Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav’n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv’n with angel singing.
Gloria, Huhne’s bum is in extremis!
E’en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And “Io, io, io!”
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Huhne’s bum is in extremis!
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Huhne’s bum is in extremis!
Nothing will come of it. If they can’t take Huhne to a trial without what Vicky told a paper then they have no evidence that the Huhne was dr1ving. It is all down to he said, she said.
The only way to prove that the Huhne was behind the wheel is to prove that the car was parked in stanstead while he was in Brussels.
Correct.
They’ll come up with some nonsense about it ‘not being in the public interest’ and he’ll be free to carry on with his wretched agenda.
That has I understand been done.
All the car parks record cars overnight.
Further, both the Huhne’s mobile phone records are like tracking beacons.
Patience
Keir Stammer is the most left wing UK Director of Public Prosecutions in living memory.
Which is why what he said on radio 5 is simply flying a kite on public opinion, and with Huhne’s ex wife stating she has political ambitions she will withdraw giving testimony for a fast lane to political office.
don’t hold your breathe, kier is a die hard lefty, huhne is a lefty and we all know it isnt wrong if a lefty does it. The phrase “we are close to a decision” can all too easily mean that we will soon hear “prosecution not in the public interest”
There once was an odious Huhne,
His missis liked va-va-va-voom,
He drove like Schumacher,
And the camera did capture,
The twat in a sporty saloon.
Guido. Have you considered a Limerick of the Weak (sic) Competition, or would you rather not encourage them?
Halelujah
I wrote the Chorus
I see an Ernest Saunders defence coming up on Huhne’s near horizon.
Good point, Mr Tony. The issue here, as I see it, is do we:
a.) simply be thankful that it removes the huhne (in a manner of speaking) from office, or
b.) decide that it simply increases the need to pursue the point pour decourager les autres?
My preference is b.

Surely the most obvious indicator of his guilt is the fact that, when asked if it was him driving that night, he never simply says ‘no, I was not.’ He cannot, because he is guilty. Instead he always recites a lawyer-agreed mantra ” these allegations are untrue’ (without saying which allegations he is talking about) – so if the ordure hits the fan, he can claim that he did not, technically, lie. Nobody is fooled, except possibly the CPS, who choose to be.
Preferred outcome is for Huhne to go down for defeating the ends of justice and for speeding and for the appalling Vicki Pryce to be si,ilary convicted for fraud and then be deported to Greece. I sypathise with Huhne and can see why in relative terms Miss trumpington is an improvement on Ms Pryce.
“The Wheels of Justice turn slowly but exceedingly fine.”
Unlike the wheels on Huhnes’s car which turned exceedingly quickly
Seems to me the major problem here is the lack of skid marks in the marital bed
Nah! Are you new here? Skid and Mark are on Mondays.
OMG !!
The sooner the better…
Will he soon be rooming with me here in Wandsworth?
FTSE up and Georgie likely to come in on target for deficit reduction.
All’s well in the world
Don’t tell that doom-monger, Billy, FFS. He hates being wrong but nearly always is.
He’s the only person I know who complains when things get less expensive to buy.
But is the Billy FTSE etc poster the real Billy?
Would the real Billy stand up please?
Are any of the Billys the real Billy?
Well, there are only two or three of us commenting so, statistically, the chances that one of us is the real Billy are quite high.
The real Billy has a way with words and spelling that defies logic. Anything else would suggest an impostor.
No. Billy’s quite difficult to fake. The one who comments on “black Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday” isn’t him.
Ah! Monika – is that the real Ah! Monika?
I promise you, I am none of the ” ‘Billy’ Bowdens”. I just Googled and found a similar name.
I have just seen Mr. Chicken’s defence: it is awesome. Apparently he was distracted by the fantastic sight of an illuminated windmill thundering around in still air, and it brought tears to his eye thinking about all that free electricity greasing the palms of all his pals. Whilst struggling with his hankie, his foot tapped out an AC rhythm for a nanosecond, just as he passed a camera. As the camera was defective it is all bollocks anyway, and he can prove it.
That all sounds perfectly feasible.
Comin atcha!
Jack Dee, on “I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue” yesterday evening:
“In this round, teams, I shall be awarding points, and too many points
means that … you’ll have to ask your wife to take them on her
licence.”
Off topic but this is important.
http://f2cscotland.blogspot.com/2011/11/ban-fails-to-reduce-smoking-rate-in.html
Read the comments in the blog as well.
Important? Nope.
Too many words, dear.
Only important for the smelly breath, yellow stained teeth and blackened lung brigade.
Has it slipped down the back of the filing cabinet?
Let’s see – ordinary person who commits perjury: 4 years?
Chris Huhne will get, at a guess, 12 months of which he’ll serve 8 weeks in a
holiday campopen prison on the coast, where he’ll spend his time getting p!ssed and fulminating about how hard done-by he’s been.And then he’ll go back to being an MP.
If he’s charged, he will probably (be forced to) resign as a minister, but will undoubtedly cling on as an MP as he will continue to maintain his innocence for as long as it takes to get to trial. If the gods are smiling and he’s eventually convicted of perjury, however, there is no question that he will “go back to being an MP”.
Perjury only applies to evidence given under oath. The correct charge here is perverting the course of justice. Allegedly of course.
If you sign a Statement of Truth which is what the form is & your statement is false then its perjury in order to pervert justice
Statement of Truth is in civil proceedings.
The problem for the CPS – a genuine problem – is that as a matter of law you cannot have a conspiracy between two people only if at the time they were married to each other.
And with certain irrelevant exceptions you cannot be forced to give evidence against a person who at the time was your spouse.
So if Vicky clams up – sayonara to any prosecution.
But of course. Still, a conviction for ‘perverting the course’ would still ensure that the ghastly man would have no choice but to resign. Well, if he were not a Liberal Democrat it would be a certainty, so I suppose I shouldn’t be quite so adamant about it.
I’m going to get a dodgy no-win-no-fee solicitor and go on the Leveson enquiry to make wild unprovable allegations and unsubstantiated claims. Should prove a nice little earner all round.
I’m delighted to say that there’s an official inquiry into all of this stuff and I hope that is going to draw a line under it.”

I hope it’s a red one.
Is there anything a Lib Dem wont pervert?
Y-fronts Bryant?
Chris Huhne is a wonderful man.
The taxes he puts onto the lower orders energy bills is to save them from themselves.
Huhne is a visionary – and this right wing plot to discredit him will fail, we assure you of that.
Minor point, but his name is Starmer, not St-st-stammer.

Climategate 2 has just broken at TallBloke http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/breaking-news-foia-2011-has-arrived/
How’s this for a snippet
Jones:
[FOI, temperature data]
Any work we have done in the past is done on the back of the research grants we
get – and has to be well hidden. I’ve discussed this with the main funder (US
Dept of Energy) in the past and they are happy about not releasing the original
station data.
Why would the US Dept of Engergy want to falsify data?
Plenty of reasons; like the chance to secure research funding on multi-billion dollar gravy train, or the keening anger of a man denied the Presidency that he DESERVED, g@ddammit!
If you want more of ‘em, ask Chris H@hne, or ponder whether this is just another Noble Lie designed to wean us off dependency on a commodity mostly sourced from the world’s least stable regions.
Important Question.
What are those two small diagonal lines in the bottom right-hand-side of the Leave a Comment box?
Oh no! Not the diagonal lines! Probably the NSA monitoring.
Whatever you do, don’t leave a deposit or you’ll end up on their DNA database.
Try clicking and dragging on it.
They have not yet reached planet Zog.
Sensible approach, given that HuffyHuhne’s lawyers might try to get him off via some technicality.
If this ever comes to court AND
if ever there is a conviction,
then the points will probably be wiped off his licence as
– he is an mp and
– they were incurred years and years ago.
Wonder who his insurance company is?
now that’s a point. He has been lying to his insurance company. Not sure what the impact is but is hanging too good.
Wonder what is constituents think of him. Bet they are glad they voted for him
Like my constituents too!
is guido asleep ? Has he not seen the happenings at Tallbloke ? This climategate 2 chaps…Christmas has come early…just in time for Durban

As stated on Sunday’s blog re westminster bubble rumours
Clegg met with the CPS on sunday to discuss when it is a good day to bury bad news. the time was decided on 14:00 tomorrow after PMQ’s
Not fucking soon enough though.
Is IDS the only non-corrupt member of this cabinet?
ids is the arsehole who did not dare to challenge bl1ar over the iraq oil grab.
what a piece of shite that man is -ids bl1ar, you chose.
The Huhne Huh that spoilt Christmas…
http://fenbeagleblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/the-huh-who-spoilt-christmas/
…You won’t get Huhdini. Ha Ha Har!!!
Huhne should be tied to one of his beloved windmills in a force 8 (any stronger and they stop the fucking uselss things from turning).
Whats the odds on no charges being made?
20 to 1 against charges being made
Huhne says his wife picked him up at the airport but that looks increasingly like a load of tosh.
Ergo, the vehicle that was photographed must have been parked at Stansted and would therefore, presumably, be the subject of the car parks’ accounts and/or cctv vids – or am I missing something?
Having been the customer (victim) of these cash-extorting facilities for many years, be sure they do keep very accurate records.
Huhne is a lying cnut.
