How the mighty fall.
Chris Huhne pleads guilty to a charge of perverting the course of justice after his ex wife fingers him over a speeding offence.
As he is now resigning from Parlament (don't think he has a choice really) the forthcoming by election is going to be a really interesting one.
IIRC, Nigel Farage stood for election in this constituency...

Actually many many people have been locked up for perverting the course of justice, and I thought it would have carried a guaranteed prison sentence.
Mind you though is a prison term not a clear cut certainty of a return to politics?
This guy is like most MP's. A liar and a fraud, and always there to save their own necks, no matter who they have to fuck over to do it. His Son thinks he is a wanker as well, seems things are not going too well for him, and I am very suprised that that other Tory toff Cameron, has not made himself look an idiot as usual by siding with his chum.

Huhne is ( or rather was) a Liberal Democrat.

Keep up Star. Huhne and Cameron are far from friends. Mr Cameron is a Conservative, Mr Huhne is a Liberal and if anything DC is probably laughing his cock off especially as this constituency has a very small Liberal majority and will likely be targeted by the Conservatives in the ensuing by election.
Do we feel a teeny bit silly Star? Don't worry we know you like to get the toff word in as many posts as you can.
Just as an aside........
If it is OK to say someone is a Tory toff, is it OK to say the someone might be a Labour pleb, or how about a UKIP fascist?

Because they are from opposite sides of the electoral spectrum, why can't they be friends away from politics? Targeted by the Tories? At this moment in time with Cameron putting every effort into forcing gay marriage laws through the house above all other legislation it seems, and the unpopular measures his party have taken, targeting may be one word, but personally I think he will not win the seat, as he is not very popular with the electorate at the moment.

Why not? Have we come so far down the left road that anything now is offensive? Do you really believe that me calling someone a Tory toff is offensive? Are you really that easily offended? It is really funny on here where people can view all sorts of sex cams, and have sex with total strangers and talk about bareback pregnancy sex on the forums with al the risks that entails, and yet you find calling someone a Tory toff offensive? You really need to get your priorities in order TH. Or is having sex with strangers ok in YOUR eyes because YOU partake in it?
Just an an aside of course.:notes:

He's certainly a Tory......but your use of the phrase" that the other Tory toff Cameron" would suggest you were implying Huhne was a Tory too.

Ah Max....because you read it that way, then it is correct? I have looked at it again and.....no you are wrong it reads exactly how it was intended to read. :thumbup:
Does it really matter what party he is with in reality......we have had MP's from all sides claiming £1000's of our money in fiddled expenses. Lets kick out these bad apples, and ban them from ever holding office again, and get on with what we should be doing and pushing the economy and the country forward.

The trouble is Dean is that politicians have a nasty habit of being allowed back into office. We have seen it many times and even when they go to prison they can end up back in the House.
Maybe the law should be changed where MP's should have no criminal record, and if they get one at any time then they are excluded from ever being an MP again.
Sex God
In fairness, changing the law to ban people from running for office would break the Rehabilitation of offenders Act. Changing that law, would seem to be against it's whole purpose and therefore abolishing it could lead us down a road where any form of criminal record could be held against a person for life.
Sex God
I believe there must be some conspiracy afoot..... it's quite inconceivable that a fine upstanding member of parliament would ever tell a lie to the public.

So how was it intended to read and what is the relevance of the word OTHER, as in "other Tory toff" when no other Tories are mentioned?
Quote by Rogue_Trader
The rehabilitation of offenders act is not applicable in certain circumstances and could certainly be used for MP's. Though all the act says is spent offences need not be taken in to account when employing someone after a period of time.
IIRC, an MP is not 'employed' as such.

Which MPs have served a prison sentence and then returned to the House?
Personally, I can't think of any.

You bored or something Max?
If that is the only contribution you want to make to this forum, whether I meant Tory or Liberal, and the word ' other ',then we would have no posting at all if everyone else wanted to be as trivial.
Max you are correct. Is that better? Back to the washing up Max. :rascal:

Trev,
I'm not sure at all about the law......but surely a judge for example can't have a criminal record. So why can't we say an MP must be clean as well. Or at the very least the voters must be made fully aware at any election time what that record is !!
I believe that Judges, like Doctors or clergy, can be struck off their professional register which would not allow them to practice. However it appears that can continue in their capacity dependent on the circumstances.

Yes you are correct GnV.I was thinking of that other liar Jeffrey Archer. I thought he had also been done for perverting the course of justice, and then allowed back as an MP again. I was wrong there and I cannot find any reference to any MP being allowed back as an MP after being found guilty in a criminal court.

Thanks for that confirmation star.
Under the Representation of the People Act any MP detained in the UK for more than a year is disqualified from membership of the House of Commons and their seat will be vacated.
I think it is usual for them to 'fall on their sword' (sometime literally!) and take the 'Chiltern Hundreds' (or one of the other legal Parliamentary devices) as they are technically forbidden to resign.

If an MP is imprisoned for a period greater than one year they are removed from the House. However there have been a convicted and imprisoned for shorter periods that have then returned to carry on their Parliamentary duties.
The longest period was 60 days, and is recorded in Hansard as follows:
Monday 15 July 1991
The House met at half-past Two o'clock
PRAYERS
Imprisonment of a Member
Mr. Speaker : I have received a letter from a magistrate from the petty sessional division of South Sefton informing me that Mr. Terry Fields, the hon. Member for Liverpool, Broadgreen, has been sentenced to a period of imprisonment of 60 days. I shall cause the text of this letter to be published in the Votes and Proceedings and in the Official Report.
Following is the letter :
Dear Mr. Speaker,
I must advise you that Mr. Terence Fields, Member of Parliament for Liverpool, Broadgreen, appeared before this Court yesterday in relation to non-payment of the community charge for the period ending 31st March, 1991.
The Court found that he had wilfully refused to pay the outstanding sum and as a consequence he was committed to prison for sixty days, the sentence to commence forthwith.
This information is provided in accordance with the requirement imposed by Home Office Circular 103/1982.
Yours sincerely,
G. W. Budd Justice of the Peace South Sefton P. S. D.

Always happy to be put right when wrong GnV...........Don't often happen though.
As a little aside seeing as you are an ex politician
, can you answer a little question for me?With Cameron forcing through new legislation with regards to gay ' marriage ', I thought that any new law that was passed through the House of Commons, then had to be sent to the Hose of Lords also? Is that happening in this case do you know, as it seems that Cameron is giving members a ' free vote ' ha ha ha on this issue, and that it will be passed as law.
Do you know what the usual procedure is and is it the same in this case? I ask as this issue seems to be splitting the Tories right down the middle on this.
Cheers.
