Hit and run, speeding, using a phone whilst driving, running a red light! Is he going for the full house!

[black_cat51]

lol it's hardly a hit and run.

[Sqad]

We may not have a choice TTT.

[ToraToraTora]

failing to stop after a car crash, what do you call that black_cat?

[black_cat51]

it's failing to stop.

[Cloverjo]

His bumper touched another car's bumper. He didn't notice at the time. He has paid for the damage. Nothing happened, really.

Are we all such Saints when we are behind the wheel here on AB ? He has admitted his guilt and been sentenced. Time to move on perhaps ?

[Zeuhl]

He fessed up...

..as soon as he realised he hadn't got away with it.

and he 'optimised' his expenses claims

sadly, seem like the usual credentials for a Ministerial job

Does this man inspire you with confidence? Not me.

[mushroom25]

at least his partner didn't own up on his behalf......

Balls is an arrogant bully, hardly surprising he just drove off.

Do we want such a man as chancellor? No we don't and Balls (up) has form in the last lot.

If he gets in expect the country to be broke in 2-3 years time. One other good reason for Scotland to go it alone !!

[youngmafbog]

I bet you would not be saying that if he was a Tory Mickey !

[ToraToraTora]

5 points and £900, it seems the beak still dished out a slap.

[ToraToraTora]

the most worrying though is using a phone whilst driving.

[Orderlimit]

What is it with this Labour lot and breaking the law?

[Svejk]

lol, just imagine if it was Nigel. ;D

[Exmothian]

Let me ask you a question Tora,Tora,Tora.
Do we want the chancellor we have now?
I guess from your choice of Thatcher as your personal image, your answer is yes! And like most tiresome Tories you grab every opportunity to try and bring down the opposition.. Negative,negative,negative !!
The Tories are like Kaa in the jungle book ;mesmerising people with their flowery talk and asking them to " trust in me" whilst squeezing the life out of them.
Shame on you!

[Zeuhl]

/the most worrying though is using a phone whilst driving/

I think that was more common in 2010 than it is now, and only just being acknowledged as an offence.

[youngmafbog]

Exmoth

And what did labour do to the pot last time they were in?

Oh yes, they squeezed and squandered every penny out of it and left the country in a right mess, and even boasted about it in a note!

You think that is better?

Exmouthian: "And like most tiresome Tories you grab every opportunity to try and bring down the opposition" - err that's politics old chap! I see you are only an occasional contributor here so perhaps you should review the News category and you'll see the labourious Labourites doing exactly the same when an opportunuty arises. The regulars on here of any political hue expect it and dish it out in equal measure.

[mikey4444]

TTT...I think Voltaire had it right here...."I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".......well, perhaps not to the death TTT !
