Davkaus Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hard to read the Huhne texts and not feel a bit sorry for him. He seems to have destroyed his relationship with his son through his actions. I can't see how they can justify publishing that. Almost all of them are entirely irrelevant to the case, this sort of thing shouldn't be in the public eye. These scumbags will do anything to get a few more eyeballs on their ads.

Right sentiment, right argument. Wrong time to deploy it. The texts are a matter of public record,having been read in open Court. They are entirely relevant because they clearly show the damage done to Mr Huhns relationship with his son because of his actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Chris Huhne finally pleads guilty. Could be looking at prison and all for a few points on his licence. By "nicer" I mean a complete lady garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 At least they give the job to another Lib Dem, although it probably doesn't matter. Still, a Tory in charge of energy/climate change would be nightmarish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted February 4, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2013 I always quite liked Chris Huhne, he usually came across fairly well (well, compared to his peers...), I thought he might have made a half decent Lib Dem leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Cameron's pledge to be the 'greenest' government ever turned out to be a load of cobblers. I don't trust the Tories with the environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His crime was lying about his actions. What will happen to those who uttered the far more serious lies which took us into Iraq and led to all those deaths?

snowychap Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Hard to read the Huhne texts and not feel a bit sorry for him.

Almost all of them are entirely irrelevant to the case, this sort of thing shouldn't be in the public eye. These scumbags will do anything to get a few more eyeballs on their ads. Was just about to say about public record but then I see that Eames already covered it above. Edit: And I'd be interested to see what happens if his (ex-)wife's defence is successful. Surely that can't look too good for him at sentencing and might negate some of the 'early' guilty plea?

bickster Posted February 4, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2013 Typical politician really, he's known he's been guilty for how long now? But decides to plead guilty at the last opportunity and then obviously resigns (only because he has to). He knew he was guilty but hung onto his little bit of power (and wages and expenses... ) as long as he possibly could. Bit of a metaphor for the Liberal Party really, desperate for power... Shame we can't ask for all the money back for that length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's a shame he didn't have the nous to declare himself a bank, then we could all have chipped in to bail the lying devious shit out of his troubles. Perhaps if we all did a few days each, he could be spared to carry on his essential works. All governments are liars and murderers, to borrow a phrase.

mjmooney Posted February 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well I expect my (Tory) MP will be voting for gay marriage, as he is an out gay himself. Funnily enough, saw him in Morrisons yesterday, buying a crate of Kronenburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we can't ask for all the money back for that length of time. I totally agree. But still, I can't help on another level feeling sorry for a man who has ruined his life so badly that he receives text's like that from his son.

I've not seen the idea mentioned in the media at all, no one has even mentioned how preposterous the whole idea of this has been, its all so normal and it shouldn't be, thats how messed up the political radar of this country is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 118 Tory MP's against Gay Marriage Bill Labour Shame on the 118 Shame on the 14. Was hoping Labour might have it down to almost zero. so, over a third of sitting Tory MPs are 'homophobic'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
