Ten years after he was clocked in his BMW by a speed camera on the M11 in Essex, Huhne, 58, will wake up in a cell at Wandsworth Prison today, to begin an eight-month sentence.



Of course it is down to 'Perverting the course of justice' and not the original speeding offences.

I wonder if he still thinks it was worth taking the chance?

That's what comes of thinking the law doesn't apply to you.

I don't think It's a case that he believed the law didn't apply to him. I actually feel a tad of empathy for him.

It as a speeding offence that's all but It was an escalation of circumstances that led to where he Is now. He knew he was speeding and he knew he'd been clocked but Its very different for a prominent politician than It Is for you or I....Politicians are under huge pressure to maintain the squeeky clean Image or face ridicule from their constituants and even their future success could be thwarted by the Party.

He did not envisage this out-come and he would certainly have never planned It. had he not have fallen foul of the wife, no-one would ever know any different.

Balls! :wah:

It was yet another speeding offence that the idiot didn't want on his license cos he stood to loose it altogether.

The points should never have gone on someone else's license in the first place.

Your post was tongue in cheek, right?

We don't want him to be squeaky clean, just honest.

He got caught, he lied, he lied again, the man is a chancer.

Rubbish - he had nine points on his licence and didn't want a ban.

Of course he didn't envisage this outcome - he thought he was too smart to get caught and too important to be done if he did.
