Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
magic_otter says:
is there anyone in the world that Tony hasnt screwed in some way?
What a loss to the nation.
What a gay
dayweek.Maybe he could get a job selling wind turbines?
Gulp!
Well done Plod and CPS!
The Green mafia will see he’s all right. 6 months in Al Gore’s Winter Beach Palace turning all the lights on and off and he’ll be rehabilitated with a sinecure in Friends of the Earth.
Taxmen are E Z P Z compared to jilted wives.
1 down.
649 to go.
Yes, now is the time to charge the last Labour Government with treason.
and the curent one with fascism
I hope the court will take fully into account of the time it took for him to ‘fess up….
Yes indeed. I don’t think that changing your plea once in the dock counts as ‘early plea’, somehow. “Take him down”
He’s lied, lied and lied for the best part of two years over this. Not to mention the waste of public time and money.
Now he pleads guilty at the very last moment as he realises all his legal manoeuvring has failed because the law of the land says he will get a reduced sentence by doing so.
Those friends who backed him to the hilt are now frantically messaging those they insulted for believing Huhne was guilty – and apologising. Even his allies will desert him over this as he blatantly used them.
He lied in defence of Gaia, so that’ll be OK with the Greenies.
They will.
My Pert Young Piece/learned friend suggests that there’ll be minimal discount for changing the plea this late — the minimum is four months, so anything at that level is a stitch-up. Moreover, blaming the wife exacerbates the offence …
Note, Mr Fawkes, this time I didn’t mention Ms Br*sc**.
Errr … ooops!
You can lie to your heart’s content in politics. But in normal life where responsibilities are real and “interviewers” won’t stop short of making you admit the truth, you join the rest of us who are expected to live by a moral code far higher than the fiddlings of political skulduggery.
That’s the problem. They’ve lied so often, they can’t tell the difference between lies and the truth.
The fact that he perverted the course of justice is a crime, but whether proper sentence will be meted out is quite another matter.
He has just appeared on television – still arrogant, still pompous, unapologetic and still………………………..a Huhne.
Looks as if he has a bit of a headache, he he.
Not tonight Big Bubba – I have a headache
Lovely. One speculates with real concern just how prison life with agree with this humble man of such high integrity.
Well done Guido.
One down, 649 to go.
These pricks swan around telling the rest of us how to live “ethically”, “responsibly” and “fairly” yet here we are again with another big boy who cannot live up to the expectations he has of us.
Let’s all hope he finds time to actually learn about the facts behind these jolly green scams while he is in the nick too. ‘kinell.
Haaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa
I agree with that sentiment………Bwahahahhahahahahahahah…etc
Oh happy days, oh happy days………..
Couldn’t put it better myself. The sanctimonious tosspot is history, lets hope the men in wigs make and example of him.
About bloody time,
It will only be when he’s in prison.
He seemed to be confident that the prosecutor was going to drop the case at some point….will be interesting to see if they find a ‘technicality” so they can quietly drop it.
But even if he goes to prison he’ll be back in a year or so; or at the very least a nice job in Brussels.
Off to Oblivihuhne……
But we won’t forget you…..
Not so sure, these bastards have no sense of shame. He could be back – in a EU or “green” capacity perhaps.
Indeed.
Mandleson resigned in disgrace, what, three times?
different rules apply to these people because we allow them to write the rules.
They shouldn’t heat his prison cell to save money – he was responsible for energy bills going up, so he’ll no doubt want to make restitution for that as well.
I like it!
+ 10,000 Btu’s
Vote UKIP in Eastleigh.
+1M……..especially if Nigel is the UKIP candidate that would make CMDDD’s
by election day complete with a bloody good kicking in the bollox as well !!!
Happy days & roll on……Lets show the Bull*ington Boy what the Voters
really mean !!
What a twonk! What was all this denial for?
ARROGANCE!
Because he really did believe that normal rules of behaviour do not apply to the political class.
Typical snake in suit behaviour.
Her trial resumed at 1137
http://xhibit.justice.gov.uk/xhibit/southwark.htm
Best idea. It would be hard to represent his voters fom the gibbet
Hope they bang him up with the Plebgate Plod. Perfect cellmates.
Hope they bung him up at the Scrubs with Bubba. In the states that called being sent to Africa and the threat makes all the white boy white collar crims confess especially the bankers..
Thank God!
This has made me feel all warm inside…
sounds like a Liberal View to me…..
Vote UKIP in Eastleigh and coerce your wife to do the same ! LibLabCon OUT
So has anyone figured out who wanted to try and force a by-election in Sutton Coldfield along similar lines ?
UKIP said they wouldn’t stand aside; Conservative probable candidate looks very electable
http://www.eastleighnews.co.uk/2012/11/eastleigh-ukip-we-wont-stand-aside-for-maria/
http://www.mariahutchings.co.uk/about-maria-hutchings
If not very fuckable.
Well done Guido. Rejoice rejoice rejoice.
The point is when is Vaz going to jail?
And Uddin?
Laws?
Vaz is a sick joke being inflicted on us all. He is currently going round TV studios pontificating on ethics in public life. You could not make this sick shit up !
Lets see if the naughty boy goes down. Bubba from cell block H will be pleased.
Ah,another ‘simple sword of justice ‘ moment. Couldn’t happen to a bigger arsehole, could it ?
When he’s been in the prison showers for a while your comment will be valid!
Now lets see if he is treated the same as Archer.
A very good point
Exposed for all to see! His name is shame forever.
CON GAIN
Very doubtful- come on UKIP!
..or UKIP shock win.
I’m sure this cheat won’t go short of anything! A hollow resignation. He will still be able to pay his bills…… WITH OUR MONEY….. CHEAT CHEAT
Labour can select Tony Blair as their candidate!
“Prime minister David Cameron’s official spokesman declined to comment on the former minister’s resignation, saying only: “It is a matter for Mr Huhne.”
May we assume that in future Downing Street will never make comment about any criminals – or their criminal behaviour ? They’ll just say “It’s a matter for the criminal”
He might be back again soon.
Excellent point. Cameron is always mouthing off from his moral pulpit so I doubt it – but you make an excellent point.
He cant say anything you fucktards its still in the courts. If he did he would be in contempt of court
You left wing twats really need to drop out of the fucking gene pool
Nick Clegg has just made specific comment about Huhne.
According to you he will now be charged with contempt of court.
Glad I don’t share the same gene pool as you.
Ignore me. I’m just a troll. But not a very good one.
I imagine Bubba is going to get him in prison.
He should payback 2 years of MP’s salary as well!
In my view, any MP who gets put away should never be allowed back into politics again.
It’ll never happen, though.
And all of his ministerial salary. It will never happen, of course.
No – but it would be nice to think that the shyster would never be entitled to his pension, or anything else!
What does a politician have to do to forfeit their pension ?
Perhaps Huhne could become a testcase.
The copper who was convicted recently will almost certainly lose her pension, will be interesting to see if that happens to Huhne. If not why not ?
Could also apply to Dave given the likely Eastleigh result.
Will he be out in time to get back onto the gravy train?
Bet he will.
Well, if you can’t trust a politician, who can you trust?
Pretty much anybody else?
A. A Policeman
B. A Journalist
C. A Lawyer
D. A Banker
E. An Estate Engine
F. None of the above
G. Predictive text ( bastard)
Plaudits for embracing modern technology, though, Dicky…
I go for the estate engine. Why don’t you all get proper PCs so you don’t get these farcical word substitutions on your silly little tablets and phones. It’s sad to see literacy diminishing.
Give us a break , Ive been dead for 500 years and you pick me up on a spelling mistake. FFS !
Estate Engine? is that a posh version of the Village Bike?
How much has he claimed in expenses since first being charged, and if they were paid will we, the taxpayers, get a refund? What is Bercow’s ruling?
Yes and all his parliamentary pay too, the thieving bastard.
.. and the allowances etc
Will he pay back all the salary and expenses he has claimed since being charged and falsely protesting his innocence?
There is supposed to be no such thing as plea bargaining in this country. But could pleading guilty get him a non-custodial sentence?
Not for an offence as serious as Perverting the Course of Justice. He would hardly be entitled to any discount off his sentence, given that his guilty plea came in so late. There are several aggravating features to the offence, not least his position of responsibility, so a custodial sentence is inevitable.
Martin Brunt’s estimate on Sky News is about accurate – 6 to 12 months’ imprisonment.
Whatever the sentence, it will probably be just under the length of sentence required to ensure he never gets back into politics.
They make the Rules. End of.
BBC – “Nick Clegg shocked and saddened by Chris Huhne’s behaviour.”
hahahahahahaha.
Please can we have a video sequence of all his previous denials?
On another note in these depressing times how long before, like many other shameless people who should crawl away under a stone and never be seen again, he is rehabiliated having made his journey from guilt to penitence, learned the lessons, and drawn a line and moved on?
I have coerced my wife into making a celebratory lunch.
Gotta be this….
I’ve got more chance of winning Eastleigh than Nigel Farage.
Sadly true. An electorate who voted Huhne in will opt for another wanker in his place.
At last election Huhne’s majority was 3864 over the Tories. Labour had 5153 votes and UKIP had 1933.
The important question now relates to how many LibDem voters will shift to Labour and how many Tories are now intending to give UKIP their vote.
If the people of Eastleigh vote liblabcon in the by-election, then they deserve to host a good proportion of the expected influx of Romanians and Bulgarians coming next year.
The Bulgarian Foreign Minister is on Sky at the moment saying we need only expect about 300. He was trying really hard to keep a straight face though!
Granting Huhne unconditional bail until a sentence date to be fixed, Mr Justice Sweeney said: “As Mr Kelsey-Fry has foreshadowed, you should have no illusions whatsoever as to the sort of sentence that you are likely to receive.”
The dude is going down for a stretch
Well I never, the chap is more honourable than I believed. Who’d a thunk it?
Oh, come on. He lied all the way to the final stage. If he was honourable, he’d have ‘fessed up at the time of the original offence.
or perhaps not even committed it in the first place
I did say “more” honourable.
I was betting on the bugger trying to stay in parliament, claiming pay, pension and expenses for as long as he could.
They are neither Right, Honourable, or Gentlemen.
Honest? He spent 10 years denying it and blaming
outside forces,specifically politcal opponents – guido fawkes had it rigth onthis one 10 years ago.
These people don’t know the meaning of the word honour. They are thieving, conniving, lying vermin.
This is now going viral,my life already.
El exministro Chris Huhne dimitirá de su escaño tras admitir que mintió: El exministro británico de Energ… http://bit.ly/WSXiuS #Chile
It’s the cover-up that gets you.
If the guy had just owned up at the time of the offence, he’d have served his dri-ving ban and it would all have been forgotten years ago.
On the other hand, he’d probably still be in office inflicting windmills, dodgy climate science and worse on the nation, so maybe sometimes things do work out for the greater good. We haven’t completely got rid of the problem as Ed Davey is still in full-on green mode, but appointing the likes of Owen Patterson does signal the start of a move to more pragmatic energy policy.
Time is the answer to our wishes. A person that knowingly “bends the rules” will continue to bend them, further and further, in all parts of their life.
That is why when a well known person is eventually found to be guilty, there is normally an uncovering of other dubious events. The question is what other liberties with the truth could have been taken by this man. If he can have the affront to point blank deny these charges, and then have to admit them, there could be more dishonesty to be found.
So we look forward to the government taking a close look at his past work to see if a few policy changes can be rushed in based on supposedly dishonest information. Generally a major policy of a party is hard to change, and takes many years to alter, but with a perceived evidence flaw a policy can change over night. If they can show the basis of a policy was dishonest then they are justified to get rid of it quickly.
They have their opportunity to discredit all his past work.
Don’t they normally ask that any other crimes they wish to be taken into account?
In a politicians case they could be there for months listing them all.
Oddly enough, not a peep about Fibbing Chris on the Liberal Democrat Website:http://www.libdems.org.uk/home.aspx…. Funny, that. UKIP, if you are paying attention you should make it a central part of your policy to rename the Depart Of Energy And Climate Change as Department Of Energy, scratching out the fuckwit bit at the end.

Chris Huhne’s political career is over. That’s not a sentence I expected to be typing today.
Here wo go again “holier than though,” Lib dems, most corrupt and sleeziest party in a parliament full of corrupt and sleazy parties.
I nominate the motorway speed camera for the house of lords
Definitely a ‘pants on head’ moment – woohoo!
The lib/lab/con monopoly uses YOUR VOTE to endorse and ensure progress towards a United States of Europe with Germany at the heart(money talks).
It is no use arguing for us to remain in and fight our corner. That has never happened and will not happen because of the Franco/German axis. Blair tried to play a part but just ended up giving away so many rights and so much money with out receiving any thing in return and along with his mass immigration policies, did so much to damage to the fabric of our nation. In any case, there will be no countries in the United States of Europe, just “STATES”
You cannot moan if you vote for them and they continue the progress towards a United States of Europe. It is no longer the EU. Categorically, the destination in a matter of years, is a United States of Europe.
Let’s give Farage his very first MP in our diminished Parliament, with Scottish MP’s still able to determine policies on health,education, housing etc but English MP’s cannot do likewise. Changing this was another one of Cameron’s promises that has been kicked into the long grass as with so many of his other promises.
Vote lib/lab/con for a truly United States of Europe.
Did you realise you voted for a United States of Europe when you put your cross against the three main parties?
Federal EU is recognized now as being impossible without tearing up the Treaty of Rome and starting again.
Federation by stealth has failed: Have you seen an EU constitution ???
The UKIP vote is valuable as it will save money and further waste on the EU corpse.
Next time we need a free trade zone, not a common market and any attempt to expand powers should be precluded by international law and the sovereigns own constitution.
You don’t need a United States of Europe constitution. It is there already.
The Commission, The Council of Europe, The United States of Europe Parliament and heads of Governments, already use the existing treaties to manipulate legality to meet their ends of creating the USE.
It is a fait accompli.
Power is mightier than the ballot box and I say again, you give them the power they need when you vote for the liblabcom at the ballot box any way!
Come over here Chris and suck mummy’s cock!
I have to say, this has seriously Made My day! I know that we have all had a jolly good laugh but if you want a bit more go here: http://www.chrishuhne.org.uk/ Beliefs: “We need fairness in everything we do”. Obviously the site wioll probably disappeear soon, but until then, log on and have a fucking good laugh at thesmug, face face and inevitable demise of this cynical, lying, Sub-Human Windmill Shagger.
I did of course mean “smug fat face”. The proof is in the puddings.
I notice he has a “Be my friend on Facebook” link at the bottom of his page. I hope all his jail pals sign up.
Chris old chap: the latest news on your website reads: “£684,500 to help Hampshire pupils catch up – Chris Huhne”. I really don’t think this is the latest news….
Will the LibDem candidate run on the tricky Dicky platform of “I’m not a crook”?
Also, Vote UKIP!
Rejoice, Rejoice !
We would remind all parents that your children are at risk if you become members of or express the desire to vote UKIP.
I really wish I lived in London so that I could enjoy in your celebrations down the “Dog and Duck”.
Have a really good time and then come back and try to get Vaz and Uddin as other commentors have mentioned.
Daedalus
And if you have any suggestions you would like to pass on to Chris, perhaps something like how he can get by in pokey without having his arshole ripped, please contact him here: chris@chrishuhne.org.uk
‘ve just rang to ask when the ‘latest news’ will be updated on Mr Huhne’s website. Despite being open from 10-4 every day, its gone straight to answerphone. Wonder why?
All this over a few points, anyone would think he was trying to avoid the death penalty for drug smuggling in China.
He turned malum in se into malum prohibitum when the plot was laid for the other to take his points.
It is a big deal over perverting the course of justice.
Only the BBC seem to care about speeding.
I see your point but perverting the course of justice is a very serious crime.
I mean, what else has this unscrupulous man been up to?
It’s the cover-up and the lies that always bring them down. The truth helps too…
Thats ok, he can stay in one of my 4 spare bedrooms that the taxpayer pays for
You can send messages of thanks for the wonderful entertainment today, and of course best wishes for the future and comments about the wisdom of windmills to: chris@chrishuhne.org.uk
Sorry, I see i was beaten to it.
WELL DONE GUIDO! NOW GO AND GET THAT TWAT LAWS!
Bet yer he won’t do any bird!
Rule #1 of politicians: They are only maybe innocent if they remain silent.
Let’s vote LibLabCon for a United States of Europe without voter representation.
You have no right to self determination.
The United States of Europe is just a few years away.
Only the rich political elite, the global entrepreneurs, and other governments can have a say.
Indeed.
And now a by-election, with hopefully a UKIP representative participating, that will show that the influence of UKIP on obtaining a parliamentary representative is non existent, yet their effect on both Labour and Tory voters is immense.
Lib dems to lose their deposit.
The man is an arrogant, unprincipled, lying heap of shit and the only reason he has now pleaded guilty is that the evidence against him is incontravertable.
He shouldn’t be alowed to resign his posts. He should be summarily dismissed for gross misconduct without any golden handshakes, pension entitlements or anything else that would cost the taxpayer money. He’s had enough from that source and doesn’t need the money anyway.
Hope he gets a longer than average sentence for what he did and what he subsequently did to his then wife and family and the lies that he told. Nice to see that the system does work…
And that there is a dog, oops sorry God.
He won’t do any bird he’ll just get a suspended sentence.
“Horsepower..Horsepower, My kingdom for horsepower”
A very nasty piece of work, loathed by Civil Servants, eliminated from politics.
And, let us make sure that the little excrescence does not make a comeback into politics, lobbying or activism.
Good one Guido, this is a very very meritorious feather in cap.
if he is loathed by civil servants he can’t be all that bad. I wish a few more of them were loathed by those wankers – we wouldn’t be in the shit we are now if they were.
http://www.chrishuhne.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Police-web-290×200.jpg
From Huhne’s own site. How appropriate.
Credit were credit is due Guido. But really who the feck is Chris Huhne?
I love this from Huhne’s website:
“The previous Government’s catastrophic mismanagement of the criminal justice system has led to prisons bursting at the seams; the creation of over 3,600 new criminal offences since 1997; and an unprecedented criminalisation of our children. Instead of using prison and sentencing as a proxy for real action on crime, the Liberal Democrats believe in using alternative measures that are proven to reduce re-offending. These include community justice panels, the nationwide use of restorative justice and rigorous community punishments as an alternative to short-term prison sentences.”
Hopefully Chris, you can reflect upon this hypocritical bullshit as you swell the Jail Population by +1, having just admitted to the very ancient and fundamental offence of “Perverting The Course Of Justice”. Man, this is a GREAT DAY, isn’t it?
RT @oflynnexpress: Huhne: I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it. OK, I did it.
RT @tnewtondunn: RT “@OllyGrender
No question – a horrific day to be a LibDem and I apologise without reservation to @GuidoFawkes re defending #huhne”
great to see a smug little turd like him come crashing down. People like Huhne have got rich ruining Britain while having utter contempt for the people they rule over. Well, today the little people can enjoy a brief glimmer of satisfaction.
