Has anyone read through the pages of emails between the Sunday Times, Vicky Pryce, the Daily Mail and Constance Briscoe?
I have, and I am certain that she knew exactly what she had done, and tried to wriggle off the hook with guidance from the Sunday Times reporter!!

The consequences of this case will also have effects on several others who were sucked into the murky world of Huhne and his ex-wife.

Well, eight months each - probably be out in 3 months then get a job with some green energy company earning thousands for a few hours work...

Don't forget the after dinner speeches worth thou$ands per session and the inevitable book, whatever that snappy title may be?

In fact it has given him just the right opportunity and time to write it, thank you very much, in between the oh-so hard time he's going to have breaking rocks (In his Whiskey).

Certainly costing the tax payer nearly £80K is something those who can afford it, ought to repay to the Court when they loose ! :)

8 mths each is light really. I'm a bit surprised he didn't get a longer sentence than for her, but perhaps because he eventually pleaded guilty he was 'rewarded with a lighter sentence, and so because she pleaded 'innocent' in essence, and so they ending up matching!?

Jonathan Aitken makes like it’s a big deal, (he would), when you just know they’re going to have an easy time of it.

He goes on about how they take a picture of you. So what! A snap shot; big deal. I’ve got to have one too later, for my passport. Oh, and a strip search. I’d pay for something like that!

Well, it’s been a long time... :P

Irish Whiskey Tone? Scotch Whisky is more likely!!

Book titles anyone? :scratchchin:

The Pryce is Right
The Pryce of Revenge
Huhnes Laughing Now?
Huhning (hooning) comes at a Pryce (ooer missus)
and the film,
The Goons, The Bad and The Uglies - a reference to both the women in his life!

Huhne is said to be particularly upset at the allegation that he forced her to have an abortion.
He cannot make any claim for defamation etc., as it was said in court.
Expect some sort of campaign however to clear his name on this issue. After the comments made by his children, he perhaps wishes he HAD aborted them! He certainly seems to have lost his family to this.

Also, Judge Constance Briscoe is still under investigation for her part in this, and it remains to be seen what happens to her!

EVERYBODY has lost here - the parties involved, AND the taxpayers, and all as a result of the trivial pursuit of revenues for speeding offences in the guise of road safety.

I like some of the funny pictures though...

Have a hard time ?
Not A Chance.
In breach of usual procedure he will be "serving his time" in an open establishment; no doubt.
Because of his "position" he will not be subject to the usual body cavity search that "lower caste" "inmates" are subject to.
I very much doubt that he will be present at the "induction" where up to a dozen new "inmates" are showered and then subject to a "medical" examination to find signs of drug abuse. So he will be exempt from having to wander naked along a corridor with "private security" (both sexes) monitoring the "event".
Bearing in mind that his case has lasted TEN YEARS, during that entire time he has slagged the system off and called everyone liars, many times, threatened everyone except me and my dead dog with legal action.......and then after all that got 8 MONTHS.
If *I* had done that I would be looking at 4 years at least.
AND that low sentence means he COULD be back in parliament, or the EU (AKA Nest Of Crooks) within a few years.
Punishment ?

Punishment - http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/30 ... ED-IN-JAIL
DISGRACED Chris Huhne begged to be put in a segregation wing during his first night in jail because he was being bullied by other lags.
OK- iT'S the Daily Jar, but it looks like the inmates are making him feel at home .

I think I'd like to see that any Government/Council official holding any official position would be automatically removed from office, if they are ever found to have or commit any criminal offence (not the smaller misdemeanour's and not anything from prior to, perhaps 18 or 21yrs old).

If those in 'power' cannot operate honestly and with good moral conduct how can we ever rely on them to govern?

It is the principal in this case that is particularly so wrong.

Perhaps this will help bring home the extremes that people are going to, to retain their licences, and how when you threaten someone's livelihood it alters the way in which people behave (even to these extremes).

You know I don't like Chris Huhne at all so I am probably not a disinterested commentator but...

I just couldn't believe the chastened contrition he tried to show when he was interviewed by the press after his release. I'm sure that, pretty soon, he will be back to his arrogant self.

There’s no such thing as bad publicity. (I’ve mentioned this from a personal matter and company I worked for). Just like Archer, he’ll soon bounce back with his snout in the trough. I too actually couldn’t give a stuff about him or his family. There are people and families in the world suffering unimaginable hardship and persecution which doesn’t get the air time this case has had.

It's not so much the fact they were out so soon, which was pretty predictable, it's that he'll be lining his pockets "advising" a green energy company, which is going to be raking in huge profits by way of increased energy costs, that you and I will have no real choice but to pay, that grips my shit.... :censored:

Yes it all does seem a bit pointless to issue justice terms which then become over-ruled to a minimal of time spent to teach the lesson. I appreciate that whilst they may not be a 'danger' to the public and tagging enables them not complete 'freedom' it is hardly a hardship to be stuck at home !

(Whatever party politics can be discussed in the General area, although Safe Speed is not a part of an 'party', we are totally independent.)
