Braverman.

[gulliver1]

Sunak has defended Braverman, after she asked Civil servants to help get her Special treatment
after she was booked for speeding. She asked them how to avoid points on her licence , and how to avoid attending a speed awareness course with other people. I/E (members of the public).
....After all she is a member of CPPC.,,,,, One law for them again..

[Hopkirk]

"But only after trying every route not to...."

That's not in the reports I heard. I understood she asked advice from the civil servants.

It sounds like she listened to the advice she asked for and received, paid the fine and took the points.

Move along now folks, there's nothing to see here

Apparently the online registration form for speed awareness courses lacks a 'do you know who I am?' option.

Correct Hopkirk
Gulliver's lies do not alter the facts.

[THECORBYLOON]

From the Sunday Times,

"Suella Braverman asked civil servants to help her avoid a speeding fine and points on her licence by arranging a private one-to-one driving awareness course.
The arrangement, which the home secretary sought after being caught speeding last summer, would have meant she would not have to attend an in-person course with other motorists, or an online one where her name and face would be visible on camera to other participants.

When the civil servants refused to help, she turned to a political aide who tried to persuade the course provider to agree to the arrangements.
After the requests were refused, Braverman, 43, who is a barrister and in charge of law enforcement, pulled out and opted to take the three points on her licence."

is this the Braverman who tried to dodge a three-line whip to vote on illegal migration, in order to have a cop shop photo op?

Not correct. The participants of a speed awareness course on a zoom meeting do not see their fellow offenders. Fact

Douglas @ 12.24 for best answer.Spot on.

[THECORBYLOON]

RETRO, why does guidance state, "Protecting the confidentiality of our clients is of the upmost importance, therefore you must ensure that nobody other than the course participant can view your screen. You must attend the online course in a private room with your screen facing a wall to prevent anyone other than yourself from hearing and seeing the course content."

What could be confidential other than seeing or hearing about the other folk there?

[vulcan42]

Braverman asked for an easier option on taking the awareness course, this was denied, she opted for the tougher course of action, points and fined. What has she done wrong?

[Khandro]

^^^ Nothing, but the loony left will try anything on to try to discredit a minister. - Pathetic!

[Ken4155]

^
It is pathetic, but it's all part of the game, isn't it, Khandro? Loony Left attempting to paint Rabid Right in a bad light. And vice versa. And the world turns......

[douglas9401]

Why thank you gulliver1. :-)

[gulliver1]

Braverman has clearly abused the ministerial code of conduct and an inquiry is needed . But will she be investigated at tax payers expense .Like Boris was at a cost £245,000, then kicked into the long grass for a couple of years hoping you forget and still never know what the outcome was. This is typical Tory Politcs

[THECORBYLOON]

It appears that one of her aides denied Braverman had been fined as recently as April.

'Mirror reporter: "So it’s completely untrue? She’s not been done for speeding, it’s completely wrong? Or it’s just the bit about the speed awareness course that is wrong?"

Braverman aide: "So what are you asking sorry?"

MR: "So she’s not been done for speeding?"

BA: "When has she been done for speeding? There’s nothing like that."

MR: "Pardon?"

BA: "When has she been done for speeding? It’s nothing like that."

MR: "There’s nothing like that?"

BA: "When has she been done for speeding?"

MR: "I don’t know the exact date."

BA: "Oh mate, this is just nonsense, honestly."

MR: "So you’re saying there’s absolutely nothing here at all?"

BA: "No."'

Telephone conversation on April 4.'

TCL @ 09. 55 Surprised ,Braverman's Aide didn't say it was her twin sister.

[New Judge]

The woman is an idiot.

It is clear that every stone is currently being turned to dish dirt on Tory ministers and MPs. Nothing wrong with that (provided the investigations reveal the truth and lies are not perpetrated).

All Ms Braverman had to do was to enrol for the online course, sit quietly in a corner and participate in it - job done. Nobody needed to know about it and there was no reason for her not to have dealt with it in that way. There may have been one or two "tut tuts" about her speeding but that's all.

Now she's been exposed as expecting special treatment, which she clearly did not warrant. Politicians seem capable of digging themselves huge holes when no digging was required at all.

Nj @ 12.22 Not allowed to use the word "Idiot" on Ab

[anneasquith]

Was it her husband in a wig who was the driver ?

[gulliver1]

Wonder if Braverman has sacked the Cop who caught her speeding .?

[gulliver1]

Wonder if she was breathalysed ? She could have been driving home from work after one of Boris's booze ups.
