Makes me fear that he is a Minister and if charged he must go as today`s Politicians appear to have very little ethics. A career ruined because he was tickled somewhere where no one else had tickled him there before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie The Tramp Returns Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If he doesn't get charged, the position is that his wife should. So I expect he'll be charged. The question is did she take the points or not. If so he will be charged with perverting the course of justice and his ex wife aiding and abetting. If she did not collaborate in the deception and he eventually took the points but evidence shows he asked her to take the points then he would face a different charge. Tomorrow will answer every ones questions. Tickle tickle Chris was it worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybong Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 From Wikipedia on expenses. .... As part of the Daily Telegraph investigation into expense claims by MPs, Huhne was reported to have claimed for various items including groceries, fluffy dusters and a trouser press. In 2006, he claimed £5,066 for painting work on his garden fences and chairs.[63][64] He collected £119 for a mahogany Corby trouser press from John Lewis but later said he would repay the cost in order "to avoid controversy". He later claimed on a live Channel 4 news programme that he needed the trouser press to "look smart" for work.[65] In June 2010, it was revealed that in the second half of 2009, a period after the expenses scandal news story became known, Huhne claimed £14,948 in expenses, including some minor amounts such as a bill of 14 pence for stationery. The claim also included costs incurred in servicing an old boiler at his constituency home.[66] Huhne's office running costs during the 2007/2008 financial year were the 206th highest out of 645, his second home claims were 580th highest (or 65th cheapest) out of 645, and his total expense claims were below average, ranking 418th most expensive.[67] Huhne is one of 16 MPs whose assets are in a blind trust. It's probably not relevant but it's still interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will know at 9 am tomorrow. If he wins I will lodge an Appeal. You can't - you can only appeal judgements against yourself(s). Perhaps you could try a Judicial Review?

nmarks Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Those who would govern us should be subject to such scrutiny, otherwise they won't govern us, they will rule us. Don't get me wrong, I am not defending Huhne whatsoever, but this matter is something that occured in his private life, however wrong the alleged acts may have been. Not only is this announcement potentially a breach of his human rights, it could be argued that this morning's histrionics may prejudice any prospects for a fair trial. But, hey, I'm not lawyer.

Not only is this announcement potentially a breach of his human rights, it could be argued that this morning's histrionics may prejudice any prospects for a fair trial. But, hey, I'm not lawyer. Indeedie. This case is too politically charged for a fair trial to happen. Like the Birmingham six, Guildford four, Lockerbie one, etc. He may be guilty of an offence and of lying about it, or he may be victim of a dirty smear campaign. Or very likely both. But it's unlikely the world will ever really know, one way or t'other, unless he or his ex drops all claims and admits lying. Maybe Clinton's sex life is a political analogy. As for Huhne, I think on balance it may being a Good Thing having him in post. To have someone from his background have to face up to reality helps take the wind out of the anti-nuclear lobby's sails, and is certainly better than the Blair years of living on borrowed time and hot air.

I don't think anyone really gives two hoots that he got caught speeding - that M11 speed camera is in a notorious section where the limit comes down from 70 to 50 and catches out lots of people anyway - there certainly isn't anyone on this forum who drives who has never broken the speed limit. Its the fact that an elected politician who makes the laws of the land was involved in an attempt to pervert the course of justice, and managed to persuade someone else to get involved in the conspiracy.
