Chris Huhne Resigns As Mp As He Faces Jail Sentence
http://
He said "having taken responsibility for something which happened 10 years ago..."
Shouldn't that have been "having FINALLY taken responsibility..."?

"The Police and CPS have no real interest in convicting a person who gives away three points. They just want a high profile scalp.
If it had been a low paid labourer, and his wife had shopped him for asking her to take his points, would the authorities have spent huge sums of public money to pursue justice, and higher ideals? No, of course not. "
If it was you or I the case wouldnt have been dragged out for ten years
do you understand what perjury is ?
You really dont see whats going on here do you.....still ?!

If it were you or I the CPS would definately have tried to bring a prosecution for perversion - However I'm pretty sure that they'd have given in after a short struggle.
But the fact that he was high profile does not necessarilly meanthat the Police (or more accurately the CPS) just wanted a high profile scalp.
The case was high profile and if they'd just given in they'd have come in for a lot of criticism and accusations of wasting public money or precisely the accusation of wanting a high profile scalp.
Huhne's high profile made it a high stakes issue which is I believe why it was persued with such tenacity

The transcripts of the texts between Huhne and his son make interesting reading. Reading between the lines I'd say his son seems a bit disappointed with him..

Maybe it's something to do with living precariously on the edge of the island. I think maybe down here we are just out of touch with the rest of the country.
That awful son's texts are being proudly displayed to show that even CH's family were against him.
But I'd say to that dreadful son ...
(1) you stand by your Friends and family, even when they've done something you disapprove of, because that's possibly when they need you the most, and
(2) you don't use "autistic" as a term of abuse, because there are people who actually suffer from autism ... although you probably never meet them in your privileged student world which your daddy is paying for while you *** him off.
If I had to choose between someone who shared speeding points, or someone who used expressions like "you autistic piece of sh1t" ... I know whom I'd prefer to mix with!

It would be a boring old world if we all took the same view of everything JJ :)
I would agree with you that the sons choice of language is pretty extreme - and I certainly agree that using the word autistic or the condition autism as a perjorative insult is wrong.
Reading those texts though, the level of hurt and betrayal that the son feels, on behalf of his mum and himself comes through very clearly.
Given what i have read about Huhne, given what i have seen of him in interviews over the years, I would not want to spend any time in his company.
You view this whole affair as a minor issue, a sideshow, and irrelevance. Many readers see it completely differently. Perjury, lying to the police, the declarations of innocence to the media, the decision by a multimillionaire and a one-time home office spokesperson to attempt to evade justice, the subsequent perversion of justice- all of these speak to a character of arrogance, self-satisfaction, pompousness and total self- absorbtion - major character failings most especially for someone who is supposedly a representative of the people, someone working for the public good.
I know that we all will have our own interpretations about what are trivial and what are serious infractions of the law- but when you start lying to evade the consequences of your actions, thats when it becomes a serious issue.

i see this as a case of supreme hubris on the part of Chris Huhne, if he had accepted the points at the time none of this would have happened. He would have had to employ a driver, so what, he is wealthy enough to have done so, and in all likelihood would eventually have had a ministerial car.
as to his sons comments, apart from one particular comment, which has already been mentioned, i am sure he is dreadfully hurt by his fathers betrayal. Not just about lying about the points, which has been bad enough but dumping his wife, the boys mother.
