His ex spoke out to drop him in it and ended up in the mire herself I think this has backfired on her a bit. With hindsight would she have dropped him in it if she knew she would end up in court as a defendant and facing the consequences herself
 
What a twxt. 3 points/a possible 3 month ban 10 years ago and look whats happened now.

A question of zero judgement IMHO
 
Seems a bit much to send the guy to prison for this, in my opinion.

While I agree that the man is clearly a massive peckerhead, if you were to lock up everyone in the country that tried to dodge a speeding fine and then lied about it you would have to make Scotland a penal colony.
It virtually is.
 
its about setting an example

he's not "everyone in the country" he is an elected MP and if he was seen to be getting away with it, it would set a very bad president to Jo Public to fix speeding tickets
If he held his hands up to it when this all first came out I'd probably agree, but he spent a year or more still lying through his teeth, trying to get the charge thrown out of court several times, denying it all the way up to the court date before finally admitting it. How much money, CPS, police and court time would have been saved if he'd just held his hands up to it from the time this came out?

porridge and humble pie required IMO
 
Just need to get Greg next, never forget 31/10/11 ...should have lost his job for is terrible handling of the FITS. Even the high court ruled unlawful, he thought he was above the law too!!
 
I believe the Crown Prosecution Service are going to try to recover some of their costs on the basis that he left it up to the last possible minute before pleading guilty.
 
To think he came VERY close to beating Nick Clegg to be the leader of the Liberals
 
Chris Huhne wasn't an unlucky punter that exceeded 9 points having driven safely most of his life.
He was an arrogant man who believed he was cleverer than everyone else and could do what he wanted regardless.
After his wife lied for him to prevent him loosing his license, he eventually lost it caught driving talking on a mobile phone.
People like that are ticking time bombs that will hurt someone sooner or later.
Those that seek to undermine UK Road Traffic Laws, deceiving courts deserve everything they get.

stupid thing is, despite all this I still reckon he'd have been better than clegg. At least he only lied about speeding points, whereas Clegg lied about tuition fees, economic policy, civil liberties, not being a tory etc. stuff that's resulted in the recession turning into a depression, students ending up paying £30k to go to university, and now apparently secret courts where they don't even need to tell you what the evidence is against you, so you can't defend yourself properly. I know which lies I think were worst.
