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?
Uno
I prefer Scrabble.
I think speed limits in motor way are too low. These limits were set for the cars manufactured in 60s, should be increased.
Most people on this blog would have exceeded the speed limit. When the Law is wrong can we blame Chris for breaking it and trying to cover it?
I think he should be freed with a fine rather than waste more tax payer money by keeping him inside. There are lots of convicted criminals who has done things much worse are let out with a caution.
CPS lawyer Malcolm McHaffie said: “Chris Huhne made sustained challenges against the prosecution before pleading guilty at the last minute.’
Can Malcolm McHaffie say he never broke the spread limit or was in a car that broke the speed limit?
I don’t like Chris mainly due to green taxes which increase energy cost for millions.
I think that he may possibly be able to say that he has not committed perjury anon.
Like what was happening in inquiries, if Chris and his ex wife have told that they cannot remember but someone has to take the fine so it was decided his then wife took the point. If he has told like that would it have been fine?
Its the perverting the course of justice that is the issue not speeding.
Do keep up
It all started with a law in my view is wrong. How many of you think motor way speed limits are low?
So you don’t agree with a law, then that makes it OK to ignore?
@anon. You are an idiot.
Terry has beaten us to it!
A: This is not about speed.
Even if it was, and all the cars on the roads are the best technology can provide, there would still be a need for a speed limit.
Because there are Chris Huhnes about that live in a delusionary world that does not connect actions with consequences. Does it not worry you, his lack of ability to see far enough ahead?
What other decisions were taken for immediate gain?
Terry Dactyl, so do you support the current speed limit?
Current speed limit is an issue. Ministers are even lieing in parliament nothing is done about it.
This is a small issue compared to what is happening in this country. What is the point in wasting resources. Just let him out with a big fine rather then wasting even more money by putting him inside.
Fuck sake anonymous, are you still trying to justify a dirty little law breakers actions?
Ron Gendofthestick but still bleeding true, trying to stop wasting public money. If Chris is fined it is cash inflow to government if he is put inside it will be cash outflow for the government.
Keeping Chris inside will cost the public around £1,000 a week.
Some anonymongs on here are too stupid to be allowed a computer.
They should do away with WIMP and wysiwyg and make it hard to use a puter so it cuts out the mongs.
Yes you’re absolutely right mummy Huhne.. on the other hand, Chris is a lying, cheating, dirty scummy shit who deserves to have the fucking book thrown at him preferably the heaviest book you could find.
So when will he be tried for the rest of his deceptions.
He was going through roadworks. It’s rare, I know, but occasionally there are workmen around in roadworks, and they have been known to be killed by irresponsible little twats like Huhne,
But that’s by the by. His main crime was perjury, not speeding.
Do you think its ok to tell lies in parliament? In my view its worse but there is no punishment for it.
No one was killed but the man who took the country to illegal war where hundreds of thousands died are free.
But some have help, even if workmen are around.
Three point manoeuvre through a gap, and a U turn on the M25 and the driver never faced any charges. I wonder whose friend that could be?
My main crime was perjury, too, but a lot of people were willing to give me a pass, considering I was lying about cheating on that shrew of a wife of mine– they didn’t know but what they might do the same. Huhne, on the other hand, conspired in perjury with his wife, who turned into a shrew when she found out he was cheating on her. Big difference, you’d have to say.
you should have been in coventry this morning. People driving fast in 4×4′s on ice thinking they will stop. so many ended up in the hedge or crash barrier. I saw 6 crashes in 5 miles on the A46 dual carriageway.
Until we learn to drive acording to the conditions limits should stay as they are.
Are you his dad or something, you hunhe.
When real criminals are let out with community sentence what is the point of putting him inside? Its waste of tax payer money.

Because he is loathsome, cheating Hunt who taxes us with his stupid windmills. Personally I would be happy to pull the switch on old sparky if he was sitting in it.
I am against green taxes, stupid windmills, etc. But it not the issue.
There are some more asshol* doing the same.
It would be cheaper to shoot him.
Cheaper still to strangle him with a bit of old rope.
And much more eco friendly as well.
who is grace?
I hope he’s remembered his soap-on-a-rope!
Not to mention his Pope on a rope for those difficult moments requiring meditation and prayer.
in the showers wear a nice pair old fashioned black swimming trunks with a sturdy cord tied in a double knot
Fugly Huhne won’t have to worry on that score. It’s the young muscular or pretty lads the lifers are more interested in.
It’s taken almost 2 hours for the sentencing. That cock must be talking the poor judge’s head off with last minute please.
CPS lawyer Malcolm McHaffie said: “Chris Huhne made sustained challenges against the prosecution before pleading guilty at the last minute. This was expensive for the CPS and we will be applying for costs.”
It’s the money, stupid.
I hope the CPS will also investigate the information volunteered – no coercion here – that Vince Cable and wife were aware of the Huhne law-breaking and also, therefore, part of conspiracy to pervert justice.
Chris was an outstanding MP and a very effective Minister.
I don’t remember Chris.
Nunca supe de él!
Subtitles: Never heard of him!
“I want to thank him for the very good work that he has done in government, both in helping to bring the coalition government together and as secretary of state for energy and climate change.”
[rt hon butch cameron, pm pro tem]
Thats enough about him, lets talk about ME. What do you think of ME?
Chrith Huhne wath travelling too far, too fatht. I think Chrith Huhne hath acted in a reckleth and irrethponsible manner. I demand a judge-lead enquiry.
Oh yeth.
I shall be addressing the House about ex-MP Mr Huhne, on Sunday at 3am
Good work Guido.
Nice work Guido
Please…..please don’t send me to the big house
Come to Bubba’s parlour! Kissy kissy kissy!
Squeal like a pig!
If he’s going down it is going to be on me.
You’ll be eating my special porridge mr Huhne
I can still manage the party from the prison, just like the movie Goodfellas
Jolly well done Guido, from all of us old chaps ay British Leyland. Can’t have these johnnies running round flaunting the law in bloody German motors, What.
One thing everyone seems to have overlooked in all this media circus
Huhne hasn’t had those three points added to his license.
We’ve all been too busy to notice.
So, he’s got away with it. He’s still got his driving license
he really is the master
I think he got three more later as I recall, but not sure if that led to a ban
Yes, a few weeks after the speeding incident he was caught using a mobile phone whilst driving and got 3 points for that. That made 12 points and he was banned.
Yes he did. See the handy timeline produced by the E’nin Stannit:
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/timeline-chris-huhne-and-vicky-pryce–a-decade-of-lies-8524752.html
March 28 2003: Huhne is caught using his mobile phone whilst driving by police on the Old Kent Road.
October 31: Huhne receives a driving ban for the Old Kent Road incident.
I think he may get 3 points as part of his sentence today.
Great work Guido. Can you get some of the other rogues in your sights? There are still 650 possibles!
He doesn’t deserve prison. Can I suggest they just tag him at his villa in Tuscany.
Electric chair
Think of the carbon footprint
that malfunctions for several minutes.
Electric chair to good for ‘em.
You don’t understand how the chair works. They actually fry you slowly. It’s supposed to be a deterrent. Could only happen in a civilised country.
Hook it up to a windmill, let him sit there and wonder when the wind will blow…

Does anyone know where you get those tear shaped tattoos done?
Right beside your arsehole.
On Sky now, the Ugandan refugee Yasmin Alibi Brown who once said that she wished the white race exinct in 100 years, is now white?
Stop press: Meanwhile over on the Specci site Owen Jones is currently trying to justify why he is a c.unt and also justify why is he refusing to apologise for accusing, on QT, Israel of killing a BBC man’s son in a targeted strike (when it turned out to be a Hammas rocket)
Jones attempts at defending himself are utterly pathetic.
Feel free to join in the fun while you are awaiting the main event
Owen- if you don’t say sorry you won’t get any pocket money this week.
Owen. Even that huhne Huhne as apologised so do as your Mum says, NOW.
(Like all good Trots you can always keep your fingers crossed when you say, ‘Sorry’).
Jones cannot justify it. He will try, and he will fail.
He should go over to P@lestine to find out what is really going on. He will be thankful when the !DF pull him out alive.
Just goes to show what a little bastard bigot the snivelling areshole truly is.
should be for life but I would settle for him getting 12mths. because he will only serve 6mths.
If he did get twelve, he’d serve less than six.
12 months for perjury, death for being a eco-lying green-tax loving Liberal Dimocrat.
Sentences to run concurrently.
I’m not leaving this court till I’ve been found innocent!
Tilting at windmills again Chris?
By the time his team have finished the judge will make him the new pope, and quite right too.
White smoke emanating from his arse?
To be fair all of his sustained lies and pinning the blame on her were a cardinal sin.
Cell 43987254?
Pryce’s lawyer claims that she had never committed another offence in her life.
He obviously thinks that being revoltingly ugly doesn’t count.
Bubbles de Vere is 200x worse. The fact is her inner beauty and intelligence are amazing as she got him for what he was a cheat of the whole penalty points system, as well as a menace to the roads. Worse he tried (see the footage) to claim he was glad the police were involved (hoping VP would also get perjury charges) as these allegations were completely false, as he had stated “Time and time again”. Muppet.
It is illegal to walk around during daylight hours with an offensive face
She entered into a criminal conspiracy, and in the course of that initially attempted to implicate an innocent third party. That is very serious stuff.
The storm should be heading to Cable properly next. This is not over yet, even after the sentencing today.
I have consulted old moors almanac and I can confirm that I have never heard of anyone called Cable

Bullets to the head?
Ive tired myself out yap yap yapping
Like the magistrate in the Pistorius hearing- milking it for all he’s worth.
I, too. would like to be able to retire after a couple of hours work.
On a massive public paid pension no doubt
Do they have another trial afterwards or will he be in the pub by 4:40?
Never but on a regular day might have to ensure the official record going out is correct and signed off. Then prepare for tomorrow’s cases by reading up on the law and evidence.
five o’clock then.
Two hours – poor cu*t will miss his tea now.
Judge mislaid his black cap ?
wacist
What is being missed here was Huhne was a dangerous driver. He lost his licence AFTER he got the Greek one to take his points as he got done for using his phone or something.
With his money you think he’d have either got a cab or a driver.
By the way whatever happened to global warming?
Jesus how the fuck can I be modded for mentioning H**ne is a post?
They are very concerned about any mention of c.unts round here.
Dear Mr Fuck It
Your modding would have been for the word dr1ver. The proprietor of this space is very sensitive to all words realting to the control of a car as he has had legal problems realting to being in control of a vehicle whilst having insufficient sobriety.
Yours ever
Mod Watcher
Hmm, he should have called a taxi.
Oh Chris, I will wait for you no matter how long you get?
(Thinks – She looks fit; I wonder if she’s free tomorrow night; tonight would just be sleazy).
At 4.30, Huhne will say a relative has died and he should be freed on compassionate grounds.
Vicky for Greek Finance Minister where she can take the country out the Euro.
Wheres McShame? did he send a mitigating letter,he could have been tried today the evidence is all there and its compelling
Not horror- satisfaction that the law is being applied equally.
Like when all those corrupt Labour MP’s were jailed for fiddling their x’s.
As the Iron Duke once remarked to my ancestor Sir Frederick Waad, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won.
Did any of you see Peter Bone and a BBC news presenter clash earlier? Bone told the BBC presenter “there’s the BBC, sticking up for terrorists” and the presenter said “Excuse me, do not accuse me of sticking up for terrorists”.
Bone didn’t accuse the presenter of sticking up for terrorists.
He accused the BBC of it.
Which it does.
At 4:10 Huhne’s defence lawyers claim that he ahs just gone Tonto just like Margaret Moran.
Owen. You should be home from school and doing your homework by now.
Will she get deported after she gets out? What on earth will the BBC do then?
Well, Mas0n will likely report on her plight from Athens with full balance.
Time to be serious, at the end of the day, Chris will be inside but Ed Balls will still be a free man, tell me where is the justice?
yawn
Yeah. If I can be on drums.
Creepy Feminists?
Maybe they should call themselves Feminist Angels.. as they are always up in the air harping on about some bollocks or other.
The carping feminists, more like.
Oh, by the way Margaret thatcher was the first woman Prime Minister.
‘Vag!na Demo’ would be a better name.
Larry and the Mongettes?
Sorry luv.
You’re about 30 years too late.
I wonder what Denis is doing tonight?
Apparently the marriage was going really well until Vicky asked if Chris wanted to try a little Greek, he came home next day with a Linguaphone course, she had not realised he was so thick.
Am I persona grata at the start of a new week.moddy after my incisive comments which proved a little too rich for your blood at tail end of last week??
If. I see this message on the blog I will assume. I am back in the fold
Welcome back, all is forgiven.
We’ve been going for hours Time for a “refresher”
Even the Grauniad is giving OJ Simpleton a slap down today:

Jones is Mong incarnate.
I’m Judge Sweeney and i haven’t had any dinner.
Shut it you slags, you’re going down for a 10 to 20 stretch!
Huhne going down like a girl to the end, having his lawyers do all his squealing for him about how he’s been shafted so much so publicly already, Vicky going down like a man not bothering with mitigation and taking her packed suitcase with her ready for her short holiday.
A pound of my money says if they were mr and mrs nobody they would have been sentenced last week but no doubt their contacts agreed not to spoil mothers day…
The Crown Prosecution Service has said it would try to recover costs – which amounted to about £79,000 for prosecuting Huhne and £38,000 for Pryce.
Additional police costs of £31,000 were incurred due to attempts by Huhne to halt the proceedings.
With the size of Huhne’s property portfolio, he should be picking up the tab not us!
Fuck off you terrorist supporting cock.
No one else would bother “tweeting” such inane bollocks.
I find the excitement of this sound and imagery can give one quite a stiffy.
Turn it up
Can I play with the big boys?
Sentencing imminent!
Huhne should be tied to one of the blades on a windmill – and remain there forever. Davey should be used as a counterbalance.
Any minute now!
They’re mine !!
rubber glove time coming up….

h/t TomSkyNews:
Almost silent in court waiting for judge – Huhne’s coat and overnight bag are still in the corner of the dock
looks like the judge will be telling him off longer than he will be in prison.
hune must be being gummed to death – at least his ears must be ringing
Judge has called Huhne’s conduct in the trial scandalous.
Talk about building your part up.
2pm, get on with it Mr. Justice Sweeney!
He’s the Sweeney, and he hadn’t had his lunch yet.
A scene captured earlier in the week of the Huhne one trying to brush up on his cellside manner.
Judge knows how to work his audience. He did say before 4:30 PM
Must be checking a few cases to make sure the sentences are correct.
John Rentoul on Sky saying Huhne was an effective minister.
I think you’ll find I said he was an “affected” mininster.
Awright for you then ain’t it mush.
Is the trial over?
Judge delayed as he is putting his entry for the guess the sentence competition in…
Defamy, defamy they’ve all got it. Well the point is a suck up to the sweepstake, which I refused to enter as I have moral conviction unlike the perpetrators of this complete fiasco, entering lies against each other.
Any second!!!!
You’d think a judge who’d had to sit through the same trial twice would want it done with asap.
Exactly, usually, M’luds start after lunch at 2 and finish off home by 3, curious.
Judge is in the room. Perhaps waiting for the 17:00 news cycle ?
Any minuet now, keep watching, just a little bit more, k e e p w a t c h i n g, N e a r l y t h e r e, n o t f a r t o g o n o w o n ‘ t b e l o n g zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Judge is now back in court.
In preparation for the budget, I’ve been swotting up. Today I watched Sesame Street and learned all about the number six.
Judge certainly not pulling any punches.
Judge has begun closing remarks
judge sends note to asking how many months in a year
17.
Huhne enters the first ever “sigh” on the record, admitting defeat.
It’s been a great day to bury bad news. Well done Chris.
Judge says they “both decided not to tell the truth”
Any second….no, really…
Judge has asked what happened on last week’s Eastenders
Muppet Sky News reporter (Martin Brunt), the one at the court has just admitted that he knows people who have passed on points.
I think I might inform the Met!
Knows them or slept with them and has forgotten their names?
I’ve forgotten their names.
Is he helping the Police with their enquiries ?
I don’t remember Chris Huhne.
Judge to Huhne “You thought you could get away with it”.
Has the black cap been donned yet?
Just pop your Y fronts on that chair and bend over Christopher. This won’t hurt a bit.
10% discount for guilty plea for Huhne.
Custodial ‘with deterrence effect’ : This is going to be harsh.
Patience is a virtue Owen.
Have you apologised yet?
