Chris Huhne - will he do time ?

[Blackdog]

He is worse than Archer. He committed perjury as well as everything else, something that Archer did not do

So now we have a by election to look forward to. any one for UKIP?

Not sure what you mean, EO; Archer was convicted of perjury and perverting the cause of justice. He was sentenced to four years (although he was out sooner than that).

And now the text messages between him and his son, which were going to be read out in court, are all over the Press instead:

CH: Peter, just to say, I'm thinking of you and I love you very much. It would be great to talk to you, Dad.
PH: **** off

CH: Happy Christmas. Love you, Dad.
PH: Well I hate you, so **** off.

CH: Actually Peter, I’ve got no intention of sending mum to Holloway for three months.
PH: Are you going to accept you’re responsible, or do I have to contact the police myself and tell them what you told me?

etc.

Just goes to show how trustworthy he was as an MP. He was caught red handed and continued to lie even at the expense of his family until he was told the evidence was there.

Actually, Archer was imprisoned for committing perjury.

And perverting the course of justice.

That's A-level dishonesty.

I think misleading is more accurate

It doesn't sound as good.

I agree but don't want to be accused of trolling so I'll not labour the point.

Still < 100 posts so very much still on probation.

Yeah, not much point in trying to see whether one politician is slightly less corrupt or lies a little less than another, regardless of tribe.

It's like pointing a pointy stick into a cesspit and trying to determine which putrid turd is less foul than the other.

Charmingly put

what I meant was that with Archer , he claimed to have damning evidence, which he did not. The N.O.T.W. then withdrew , and Archers 'evidence' was never presented to the court.

I did check though. and he was convicted of perjury. maybe i am confusing myself

[CheeseSlice]

It was only 3 points on the license, everyone does it. It doesn't mean he's a compulsive liar or anything

Anyway, Huhne knew that only 1% of criminals get caught, he was as safe as houses....
