Stupid prat! if he'd admitted to the offense in the first place it would have all been long forgotten. It was only speeding, not bloody murder.

Here is what Chris Huhne changed his plea to avoid having read out in court: PH: “We all know that you were driving and you put pressure on Mum. Accept it or face the consequences. You’ve told me that was the case. Or will this be another lie?” CH: “I have no intention of sending Mum to Holloway Prison for three months. Dad” PH: “Are you going to accept your responsibility or do I have to contact the police and tell them what you told me?” PH: “I don’t want to speak to you, you disgust me, f**k off.” PH: “You are the most ghastly man I’ve ever known. Does it give you pleasure that you have lost almost all of your friends?” PH: “You just don’t get it.” CH: “Happy Christmas. I love you” PH: “I hate you so f**k off.”
J’accuseFeb 4th, 2013by Single Acts of Tyranny.You said you were telling the truth but now it seems you were a liar, and a criminal? We always knew Lib-Dem manifestos were a joke but now you extend that non-principle to your personal dealings. I guess if you betray your marriage vows there’s no reason you wouldn’t lie to the rest of us.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN92y3YRnmoDamned by your own admission today.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21320992You were Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, but how can we now believe a word you said? How do any of the laws you passed have legitimacy? Settled science? The only thing settled today Chris is that your words may not be true.In May 2011 you were interviewed by the cops and said nothing and let them investigate and go back and forth with the CPS. The cost of the investigation is not disclosed as yet but you can be sure it’s not cheap. didn’t the cops have better things to do like fighting this supposed terrorist threat?When you resigned as a minister you pocketed £17,000 of our money tax-free, can we have it back? No, to hell with politeness, give it back.Schadenfreude is ugly, but if anyone ever deserved this, it was you. Why are quite so many of your colleagues in Westminster variously thieves, drunk-drivers, liars, happy to send their betters to pointless deaths? No, don’t answer that, you have a credibility problem.My fellow citizens, we do not need these people to tell us what to do, we don’t need them to tell us what we can’t do and we sure as hell don’t need them to take our money.
