Unhappy Life for Lib-Dem?

I think it was on Newsnight last night when they were chatting about Huhne's alleged transfer of blame for his speeding thing.

There was a lawyer commenting that if guilty this would be perverting the course of justice which, in theory, carries a max of life imprisonment She did actually say that if found guilty he would almost certainly face a gaol term ..... (but not life, sadly)

I bet that would put a smile on Cameron's face as he must have been a bit hacked off with Huhne and his support for the AV campaign

Well whether you support AV or not, as a Lib Dem he can't really be blamed for supporting it since they see it as a way of getting more votes. As irritating as he is said to be, he can't be blamed for supporting his party's policies when you think about it.

I would have thought that Clegg would feel the same as you say Cameron does!

Les, it's not that he was supporting AV but he was accusing Cameron of a dirty tricks campaign and saying some pretty damaging things about Conservatives in general. dl

I was still leaning towards forgiving the guys his sins up until this point. Phone-driving is an utterly c*cktardish habit, and for that alone he should be confined to several years re-education at her Majesty's pleasure.

It is not so cut and dried as there is no evidence than an offence took place as the DVLA wipe the records and so it is now dependent on his ex-wife finding the paper copy of her license from that period. If she cannot prove the offence took place then there is no case.

I suspect he has already burned the offending document!!!

Yes he was and I suppose he is entitled to criticise a different political party. It comes to nothing of course if he is not telling it as it was especially when he is in extreme need of impressing his own party before he gets the old heave ho!
