Judgement Day
In about half an hour Chris Huhne will learn his fate. If he’s not charged it will leak within minutes. Westminster waits with baited breath. Runes are being read left, right and centre but nobody has the foggiest. Roll on Ten O’Clock…

Shifty Huhne up against the bungling CPS, who will prevail?
CPS have to show that the Prosecution is in the Public interest.
Showing that once again a leading politician perverts course of justice. Lies etc etc. NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
Look what happened in Egypt when the people realized that the Political Class put themselves above the LAW.
There is no way I am going to ride down Whitehall on a fucking camel.
Camel porn is good…
Camel Toe is better
One hump or two?
I once ate camel meat. Very tough.
My money is on…… No Further Action !
what happened in Egypt was a most unfortunate Incident
When you are winning 3-1 there is absolutely nothing wrong with kicking the ball out of the ground and saying to your opponent ‘ go fetch that you dirty camel shagging Christian’.
For the millions of those prosecuted for traffic offences, you really should be a politician or a police officer or some one working for the government who wont be prosecuted. ONE LAW FOR THE LAW MAKERS AND ONE LAW FOR THE WORKERS.
Do the details of the case make any difference to your ranting?
Those that hold themselves above the Masses should act with the most reverence in all they do. If the fail they should fall on their sword. Lying cheating should be punished with far more severe sanctions for those in positions of power. The Japanese have a great way of dealing with this its called suicide. If British Politicians Bliar Broon etc etc, dont have the bottle to do it, then we should have a system in place to help them out. This would Stop the fraud the lying that brings all our institutions into disrepute.
C.P.S. Criminals Protection Society
CPS – Huhne/ Hoon Protection Service
Whatever happens… Surely he has to go?
this is a lib dem politician, they only quit for sex scandals. The hoon-ness is astounding.
Huhne has had already a sex scandal and he is still there.
yeah but Hoon is a special sort of LD, like prising dead flies off your flapper, impossible to get rid off.
… and so has Handycock – but no chance of him going.
I am never first!
It doesn’t matter Dazza! Everyone loves you, even though you were third!
Look at me for instance!
Have an O.B.E.
Guilty as not charged
Guilty or innocent, he’s still pointless.
As you say he will not be charged – the CPS record as from the Blair period of cash for honours shows that the politicians get off which is why half the Labour shadow cabinet, especially Harperson, are still at large making our lives a misery.
Its not in the Public interest to Once again see a Government minister be shown to pervert the course of justice?
We will see eh?
He’s gonna skip it. ‘Insufficient evidence to proceed with prosecution’.
Lady Timpleton & myself will be as sick as the proverbial parrot. I have not wanted to see somebody clattered as much since Archole went down.
I hope he is charged, my gut feeling is ‘No Further Action’ ……case filed in the bin.
Bet the miserable hoon gets away with it……DPS will have no interest, it’ll be we had a look blah blah but not in public’s interest, so next time you get done for speeding, pull a hoon.
Well, there was an interesting comment on the Sky press preview last night – in the way in which the CPS was presenting it – which would indicate no charges. PS I think it is at 10:00 – so an hour and half away.
I foresee an announcement along the lines of:
” It is impossible for Mr Huhne to have a fair trial so the CPS has no option but to offer no evidence to the Crown”
That’s a good theory. I hope this isn’t the case. But if it is, basically Dave has to sack him right..? Surely?
Naaah. Insufficient evidence->conflicting accounts->unlikely to secure a conviction->dropped.
Cue Huhne at 10.00am with prepared statement claiming to have been exonerated, honour intact, time to put this behind us and move forward blah blah.
I used to Blair was ‘Teflon Tony’ but it appears that nothing will stick to Huhne…..so I have to ask what dirty little secrets has he got access to about the coalition deal??
And cue a windmill building frenzy. He’s gotta be stopped before the UK takes off like one giant sycamore seed.
So, on the grounds everyone hates politicians more than kiddie fiddlers, the scumbags can never expect a fair trial.
They’d get a fair trial if they plead guilty.
And a reduced sentence.
if it was anyone not in goverment they would have already be hung drawn and quartered and doing time.
precisely but the little people are expendable. With any luck his constituency will deselect him immediately but then again its an LD, as much backbone as a worm.
No. They’d have not bothered at all. And the police would never have heard your ex whining to her mates over coffee or white wine.
insufficient evidence, many years ago, the police wouldnt give a monkeys if it were you or I.
He has to go in order to wipe the smug visage he has into oblivion. Please go Mr. Huhne and never return to public life. Which constituency is voting for Huhne btw? Is it legal to rescind their voting rights for misuse?
Why are we called FibDems ?
I don’t know. In my personal case I have always told the truth, especially to the police when I have been falsely accused of trying to seduce vulnerable constituents and schoolgirls. Boaz.
He’s guilty of being a Hunt, so that alone should be enough to charge the fucker, his sentance should be a public stoning
Fingers crossed.
It’s a speeding case: it should not be rushed.
Any slower and it will be in reverse..
If he is charged (fingers crossed) it should be remembered that , in addition to the charges, the odious little scumbag has been lying through his teeth to all and sundry for the last year.
Guido, it’s “bated breath” and not “baited breath”. Leave the mis-spellings to MailOnline, the Grauniad of today.
Hoon might be screwed…..from toenails Robinson….
Update: I’ve just been checking the precedents for the CPS announcing in advance that they are making an on-camera statement and for the DPP himself delivering it. The Crown Prosecution Service did make an on camera statement when they decided not to bring prosecutions in the cash for honours. It was, though, not the Director of Public Prosecutions himself who made the announcement. The news emerged the day before – I reported the fact that there would not be prosecutions the day before on the BBC News at Ten and on my blog. The last time the DPP made an on-camera statement was when manslaughter charges were brought against a police officer over the death of Ian Tomlinson last May. He also made the announcements on the decisions relating to the MPs’ expenses scandal.
People actually read what I report ?
No
I hate speed cameras.
They are for the little people.
Speed cameras are for people that go too far and too fast.
If you’re little enough they never get a photo of your face over the steering wheel, so you can blame it on whoever you like.
Which is why I always drive around wearing an icehockey mask.
it appears that the majority of the population are now carrying Get Out Of Jail Free cards
The only way guaranteed way you will go to jail in modern britain is if you are white and male and articulate through speech a thought crime
We play monopoly with your money. We have the new banker edition. “Chance” cards are all “You have won a huge bonus of” and “Community Chest” is all “Get out of jail free”
If he gets away with this, the big whirly thing will be will and truly covered in the most unpleasant of substances.
Huhne is a pompous arsehole, and in a position way above his ability. Trouble is people like Huhne believe their own bullshit.
Others include Mandleson, Hain, Harman, Byrne, Sadiq Kahn, to name but a few.
Don’t forget me!
If he gets off despite the evidence (isn’t m/s Pryce on telly a lot these days) we will always be left wondering if it was because Calamity wanted huhne smiling at him inside the tent rather than smiling at him outside the tent.
Isn’t it pissing inside the tent? I thought he must be a Mason to have survived so long without being charged,this time pleased to be wrong!
Tell you right now he’s not going down, he’d have resigned by now and sneaked off for the weekend.
When I had the audacity to drive through North Wales on a dry, clear, sunny day, with no traffic on the road other than me, I was advised I had travelled 10 miles an hour faster than I should have done!
Paperwork was sent within weeks and I was threatened with court, fine (£1,000) and more, if I didn’t cough up £60 and accept 3 points.
My wife, registered keeper of the vehicle, shopped me to the ol’ Bill and that was it.
An incovenience, perhaps and a warning to keep me minces peeled if I wanted to drive quickly.
Guilty or not, how this has taken SOOOO LOOOOOOONNNNGGG to resolve is beyond me.
Somehow I wonder if these people think they are above the law. Why not take the hit, accept a small fine (let’s face it Huhne’s not exactly on his uppers is he?) and have done with it.
Perhaps I should have lied, perverted the course of justice and many years later I too could have a cabinet post and thick enough skin to brazenly ride out the oncoming storm!
Now I’m off for a pint of Top Totty!
For a start can today’s caption competition NOT be huhne? (I think theres a much safer bet on that one though).
Will we know, by 10:05, when and where the speeding was actually done?
You’ve got that picture again suggesting that Mrs P could have had her pudding and got done speeding at approx midnight.
Send Huhne to the Lords so he can join the other liars. Sit him between Archer and Mandleson.
One law for the voters and a different law for the Hunts in Westminster.
Huhne will get off with it
one quick nod from Clegg and he’s free to carry on , it’s gone on too long
Watched a programme last night Police stop a car on M6 , Two black guys arrested carrying 10kg of heroin and a large amount of cash police very happy with result
Both got off with it as CPS offered No evidence
He’ll walk but it won’t be the perp walk, it’ll be the feck you spring in his step walk.
No ifs, no buts for our political elite, just a gold plated get-out-of-jail-free card.
Once again the Establishment looks after it’s self.
Ok – so the smart money right money must be on NO prosecution. That is my prediction!
Shame – but that’s the way it is……..
In fact right now, I’d say the odds are 1-8 for no prosecution……any takers?
I agree with you…. NFA !
All the little people should challenge their speeding fines and clog the whole of the CPS up !
That will fuck em up
“Free…free as a bird !…how could you ever have doubted me?
Now, who’d like a lift into town ?”
Okay, it’s gone 9.00 – has Huhne ‘leaked’ the news of his ‘innocence’ yet?
I am as pure as the driven slush, whiter than Diane Fatbott, as honest as the day is long on the North Pole.
Too busy….he’s on his way to Victoria to catch the 9.17 to Eastbourne for his appearance at Lib_Dem Away-Day
No, but plenty CPS staff rushing off to the loo before facing the cameras.
If huhne should avoid prosecution and hang on to his job then the coalition will be seen by the public as equally self serving and dishonest as the last labour government. What little trust is left in Westminster etc will be totally shot to pieces.
Exactly.
I reached that conclusion nell some time ago;I don’t need the cps to announce a decision not to prosecute him to arrive at it.
The only avenue of escape left for him now is “innocent until found guilty”.
Don’t put the lube away just yet Bubba.
Huhne just told news of his fate by his lawyers. PM being informed…….
Shuddup you fantasist prick tits
Hunt off ya hoon licker.
Like Ed’s Speech this is likely to be the “Non-Event of the Day”.
Get ready for a smirking Huhne meeting the media to tell them that he told them that this was all nonsense
The fucking Hunt better get the book thrown at him.
Hmm..particularly eloquent for me.
Huhne is an untouchable like all these lieing toerags, the CPS will say no evidence and not in the public interest.
This will be another of the Pikey’s failed campaigns…Huhne to survive with his reputation enhanced!!!!!!
Bloggers to be severely restricted from their appalling actions designed to undermine democratic Governments!!!!!…innit
Fucking disgusting behaviour in public office, it will be a sad day for us in the political non bullying class if Mr Huhne is not charged, and brought to justice
Fuck off
Big bad Bubba has just cracked open the vaseline in anticipation…….
He don’t deserve no lube
Guess you havent seen what Bubba packs down there, I have and its enough to make your eyes water.
It is Friday, third February & the whole of Britain waits in hushed silence to learn it’s fate. Groups of people stand in the streets gazing anxiously at the freezing skies. Will the predictions of experts & commentators prove correct? Is this once proud nation about to suffer a cruel & savage blow.
Will Huhne walk?
Well, he won’t be driving.
PS it’s “its fate”.
Simple question, where is Huhne? If he’s in his office he’s not going down, if he’s fucked off somewhere on the quiet he is going down.
Give him a call Guido
Lib_Dem Away Day at Eastbourne for some group bonding …do keep up with the Grid
What happened to Billy…is he dead?
The suspense is killing me. Have we got rid of this dodgy bastard or what ?
Cleggie looking a bit glum…?? Better luck next time ..Nick !!
He always looks like that, like a nun sucking on a lemon.
Time to nick Nick ?
I’m awaiting moderation…apparently!
Will the DPP receive a knighthood or have it taken away?
If he gets away with it I assume that it is now OK for me to say Ms Price was driving whenever I get caught speeding too?
I went in on a Sunday cos my heart stood still
They do run, run, run, they do run, run
In A&E they saw me said that I was ill
They do run, run, run They do run,run
Yeh, the consultant came, had, to cut short his game
but he saw me too late,
they do run, run ,run,run
they do run run
So what’s it matter if the Day of Judgement
Becomes another foray into fudgement?
It’s another politician’s rep busted
More grist to the mill that none can be trusted
I see red ed was telling the truth in a speech this morning the only problem was he forgot to say he and his Liebour friends were the cause of our woes, a true stalinist he made sure the the group in the picture excluded him and his Liebour friends.
I’m getting a bit gleeful, 30 minutes past being told and Huhne has not been bursting out the doors to spill any good news, not like him.
Anything short of a photo of VP driving, and Huhne has nothing to celebrate about.
why is it that the rich need incentives to do a good job, yet ordinary workers are beaten up in order to do a good job?
Don’t you think we should smella a rat, when every Islamist bomber admits to bombing everyone-given half a chance- on the promise they are out after three years jail?
If he’s innocent then Top Gear look no further – you have just found the new Stig.
Ridin along in my automobile
Carina beside me at the wheel
There ain’t no point in goin’ slow
When you gotta go, you gotta GO
This mist is growing, getting thick.
Ooh! Did I just hear a camera click?
Looking like he’s been charged…whooo hooo
MrHarryCole Harry Cole
BBC have unconfirmed news from Huhne’s ex wife… LOOKING GOOD PEOPLE.
Sadly it now seems a foregone conclusion. evidnetial issues will prevent a prosecution. He is so hated that he couldnt gat a fair trial etc
BBC have unconfirmed news from Huhne’s ex wife… LOOKING GOOD PEOPLE.
looks like he’s been done
Great day!
Time to tie a yellow ribbon ……
My prediction: No prosecution due to either:
1) Not in the public interest.
2) In sufficient evidence.
But I could be wrong. (HOORAH!)
What’s Chris Huhne got in common with the the battery on my Blackberry?
They’ve both been charged this morning.
Where have you heard that ?
BBC saying it now !
ha ha ha ha Resignation now please Mr Huhne You Huhne !
09:39 – BBC quote Vicky Price: “There WILL be a prosecution”.
Charges..fucking brill!!!
Just looked at The Beeboid : Vicki Pryce it says on the BBC “She understands there will be charges
BBC are getting excited! and even making suggestions, considering he’s a lefty I would have thought they would be playing the funeral dirge.
Fuck me, there’s hope for this country yet….
Not whilst all the other miscreants in HoC & HoL are getting away with it,not to mention the ex members.
To Agadoo:
What a HUHNE HUHNE HUHNE, get the handcuffs, turn the key
What a HUHNE HUHNE HUHNE, just compound the perjury
They’ll both have had a sort of ‘probe’ stuck up them (shortly after he gets to HMP)?
Breaking News an MP is found to be a liar
Breaking News an Mp is found to break the law
Breaking News an MP is denying any wrong doing
Breaking News an MP will Blame someone else
Just another day in Westminster then !
BBC reporting Huhne IS to be charged. Ex wife says understands charges to be made.
But can the charges be reversed?
YES YES YES there is a GOD!
Can you take all those bloody useless windmills with you when you go as well you prat.
It’s getting cold.
And the global warming is starting to settle everywhere again.
There is a big bet going on about the Burbobank windmills, in the Irish sea, the bet is in a storm will the blades float?.
That#ll take the wind out of the sails at Department of energy
Cameron: This is a sad time for Chris and i would hope for a quick out come to his trial a swift sentence and a speedy return to politics
in politics Points don’t usually mean prizes
good game good game
Politics for Huhne will have gone way past his sell by date, by the time he’s sorted this out.
Well I never, an untouchable , being touched by the hand of the law, well I’ll go to the foot of our stairs, Xmas is very early this year.
The BBCoids only need the funeral dirge to finish with, you would think we have have lost the greatest politician ever, just can’t believe the crap the are using about him, just think all that electricity and C02 they are using.
And now we have that idiot Lembit Opik – anything for some publicity – a failed Lib Dem MP (the voters of Montgomeryshire were glad to see the back of him)with a record of putting the cost of a plasma TV and flat renovations on to the public purse – wittering on about it not being fair – that there is one rule for politicians and another for other members of society. Well, we all knew that anyway. Opik considers that Huhne should have stayed in his job until and if he was found guilty – typical Lib Dem nonsense. And I’m glad to see that Huhne’s ghastly ex-wife is in the frame too.
For shame! It is NOT “baited breath” (though it might be, for mosquitoes), it is “bated breath”
From the online OED:
Bated
adjective
(in phrase with bated breath)
in great suspense; very anxiously or excitedly: he waited for a reply to his offer with bated breath
If this carries on and the truth comes out about the lot of them, they will need a room set aside for cabinet meetings in the Scrubs.
Mrs Fart hasn’t any sympathy for ex Mrs Fhrump at all, in fact she says she’s a total twat.
