Congratulations to @AngusCurran, who correctly guessed that both Chris and Vicky would be sentenced to 8 months. He wins a copy of Lee Rotherham’s “The EU in a Nutshell: Everything you wanted to know about the European Union but didn’t know who to ask”, and a dozen I’ve Been Kissed By Chris stickers.

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.
Can we have a sweepstake on how many of your Murdoch colleagues will go to jail please Guido?
I think the prize is interesting as there won’t be an eu soon. When the German people realise they are going to have to bail out everyone except the UK by paying massive tax increases then the whole thing will fall apart. Yes, yes, yes!
It had better fall apart quickly, because every day it doesn’t is costing us £53 million.
Cameron (and Clegg and Miliband) are the sort of twats who’d take out life-time membership of a gym that’s holding a closing-down sale.
Is there any connection beteen the Murdoch journalists going to jail and the EU?
Your logic seems to have deserted you
Of perhaps too much of the white stuff this morning?
PS Or do you think in your paranoia that Scotland Yard is run by the EU as well?
I think everyone associated with Murdoch should go to jail. They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with what they did, from 1997 to 2010. What was the Conservative government doing during that time? Were they complicit? Probably.
what conservative government, you fool
New Labour.
Cameron was intimate with the Murdoch Mob

Stop your censorship of the truth stated clearly in published articles
Not as close as Blair- who is Godfather to one of Murdoch’s kids.
I think everyone one who was a member of Liebour between 1997 and 2010 should go to jail and everyone who voted for Liebour in 1997 and 2010 should be made to pay 20% extra tax to cover the damage they did by voting in Liebour, but we know like Murdoch and the rest of the establishment nothing will happen.
This is an interesting idea that Labour voters should pay more tax to make up for Ruin McBroons waste. The problem is that most of them are spongers or wefare addicts so would not have any spare money after buying drugs, fags and booze.
Well, increase the bennies then!!!
ouch!
It’s (very expensive) crap.
“Asked straight out if he was homosexual”
Tee-hee!
As a straight kind of guy I can guarantee to you, the plebs, that the good news will keep on coming; and if it doesn’t we’ll blame it on the manmade Global Warming caused snow.

Tonight Mathew, I am going to be a bear
Bear faced liar.
25% drop in salary for state teachers in Andalucia in Spain and still lest that the rest of Spain,George are you reading this,
On a point of detail, did Huhne not actually receive a sentence of 9 months – which was then discounted automatically by 10% for the guilty plea – rather than receiving a sentence of 8 months (as Hecate Pryce did)?
9 less 10% = 8.1
Indeed it is 8.1. My point is that the (gross) sentence was in fact 9 months, and that the sentence was then discounted by the Judge. So, “the sentence” was 9 months, even though Huhne will only serve 90% of it because of the discount. Therefore, it is wrong to say Huhne’s sentence was 8 months, but right to say that he will only serve 8 months of it. The sentence must have been 9 months otherwise there was nothing against which to apply the discount of 10%. Therefore Guido is giving his book to the wrong person; which, in its own way, is a perversion of the course of justice all of its own.
In law: 9 months less 10% = 8 months.
The current legal climate: Round damages / costs up, round sentences down.
Did the judiciary go to the same arithmetic classes as Gordon and Ed?
Member of performing arts is Gay!
In other news comedian is Je,wish

Etc
I don’t shit in the woods. Regardless of what you may have heard.
@AngusCurran is Lord Justice Sweeny. Fix
no fear, 50% remission for bending over to the guvnor, see you in a couple of months and standing in a by-election near you!
WTF is CHRISTOPHER Maloney? Or Christopher Maloney even?
bet Huhne has the ‘ouch’ factor
Hey boy! Hey boy! You gonna git on the floor, ya hear me, boy?!
Now I regret Huhne never became Lib Dem leader. We’d have had the popcorn worthy spectacle of seeing a deputy PM forced to resign and then go to prison.
That would have seen all our Christmases coming at once. In the meantime, we’ll just have the mental image:
“Here’s the soap, Chris. Catch! Oops, butterfingers.”
“Hey, girlfriend…”
Interesting background on how the Murdoch Times newspapers get their information…and then try to buy their way out of trouble
wiki
In 2012, it was revealed that Patrick Foster, then a reporter at The Times, had used computer hacking in order to establish Richard Horton’s identity.[8] [9] It was subsequently reported that Horton intends to sue The Times for damages.[10]
In October 2012, the Times settled with Horton for £42,500 plus costs.[11]
On 29 August 2012 the police arrested Patrick Foster as part of Scotland Yard’s Operation Tuleta investigation into computer hacking.”
Don’t give our game away please
Murdoch enterprises are thriving you dopey spastic. Get over it.
We have never heard of Jimmy Savile.
We have never heard of Jimmy Savile…
but we think that it is a disgrace that the police, the NHS, numerous childrens’ homes and Thatcher allowed the beast to get away with what he did.
We have it on good authority that Jimmy Savile was a Tory Minister in the Thatcher Government, which explains everything.
I am the King of (fizzy) Pop
King of wishful thinking
You were bad and dangerous, and now you’re certainly history.
I’m Angus Curran and so’s my wife
The police are to blame for Jimmy Savile not us!!!
Don’t worry. We have nearly erased all of our past files.
The BBC have no recollection of knowing anyone called Jimmy Saville.
Tonight Mathew, I am going to be a creampie
The BBC were delighted this morning that the BIGGEST recruiter at the moment is the public sector, yes folks ‘change managers’ and ‘diversity officers’ are being recruited in large numbers again.
Other than the armed forces I can’t think of any large scale cuts taking place. Did I sleep through those “evil Tory cuts?”
The Tories have cut the cuts.
That’s how mean they are
Gordon kept inflation away with his basket of
78 rpm records
Black and white tv licence
Spinning Jenny’s
Monocles
Stovepipe hats
Whalebone
Fax machines
Cassette tapes
Bell bottom patched dungarees
Guano
Using this basket of goods inflation fell by 450% , while tractor production rose by a similar amount.
Was there anyone on that show who was actually straight?
Cowell?
I’ve never watched that shite and have no idea or care who you’re talking about.
Oh no! Don’t tell me Sunny and Owen have fallen out!
Mrs Owen, Mrs Hundal might not be picking little Owen up from school today.
The out of touch judge in this case obviously does not believe spousal pressure exists. In spite of evidence that Pryce was presented with a fait-accompli by her ex.
She was rather the instrument of her own destruction.
If she had kept quiet no one would have ever known.
She wanted vengeance. And she achieved it.
Do you remember the film Murphy’s war , with Peter O,Toole ?
I told her if she didn’t take the points she wouldn’t be getting any cock for a month.
Who?
Who is Christopher Maloney?
