Her brother's name Features ¿?¿?

Imagine lumbering a baron with the name Festus

[Peter Pedant]

bloomey how did they find out ?

I did a speed course and we warned that anyone saying - "why am I here den, foo ! I din do it yeah?" would be chucked out and reported for fooing the course of justice or whatever it is ....and yeah someone from the back said: foo! why am I here den
and we all shouted her down ....

Chris Huhne was done in by his fal - Vicky Price who is a economic Mandarin - Vicky did time, the counsel who advised her on trapping her husband was disbarred, lost her job as judge

>>> I think they do it wiv 9 pts already on the licence

Some people do it even when they've got a clean licence:

She was a solicitor, now an MP and a Whip. Who can you trust these days?
And I suppose we wouldn't even know about this if the new powers MPs have just given themselves to conceal their cheating from us were upend running??

[douglas9401]

I suspect the number of man-hours fretting about whether to proceed against a black, educated senior politician dictated, eventually that something must be done.
If only in the interests of diversity and a fair spread of criminality.

It was not me.
It was the one armed man.

[Peter Pedant]

I think you should only try it with consent.

the issue people er dont think about ( not me! not me!) is that the substitute driver turns out to uninsured for the car.

funnily enough I am trying to sort out a fixed fine for someone who moved out of my house ( er he sold it to me) twenty y ago ! weird....or stupid.actually I think a third person was using his licence .....

[Gromit]

Not sure how a simple driving offence ends up being tried at the Old Bailey. A complete waste of money.
An MP gets caught lying, so nothing new there then.

[Buenchico]

'Perverting the course of justice' is somewhat more serious than 'a simple driving offence', Gromit. It carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

Huhne and Pryce were both given 8 months sentences.
