hahaha what a twat.  I do think ANY custodial sentence over 2 or 3 years is too much though, and no, the sentence does not fit the crime at all these days.

Jeffery Archer was convicted in 2000 of perjury and perverting the course of justice during the 1987 libel case. He was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment but was release on licence half way through.That may give some idea as to the possible sentence in the event of Chris Huhne being found guilty.

Tommy Sheridan was done for perjury up here.He's now out on license.it's considered a very serious offence ,much more than the initial "crime".

Since his wife is also to face the same charges, I wonder if she now wishes she'd kept quiet.

Yes I remember that El Loro.  And I think he came out of nick and wrote a book about it, making more money.  Do you think us mere mortals would be able to do this?  No fear!  It makes me sick it does, how nobby people and MPs and influential people and top bankers and top executives and so on, seem to come out of everything smelling of roses.

I wonder why it's classed as so so so serious?  A case of old fashioned laws needing to be brought up to date as has already been said. 

Probably.  She is trying to make out he forced her.  But she can't prove it.

Oh dear!

I don't want to be cynical (again), but by any chance did her hubby dump her for a younger model? Is this one of those "hell hath no fury...." jobs?

Well yes it WAs a hell hath no fury job LOL  BUT the thing is Yogi, I was shocked.  Coz his wife is no oil painting, but the woman he left her for is a munter of the highest order (IMO) and NOT a younger and more attractive model at ALL.  !  I think often, when men have affairs, the other woman is often less physically attractive than the wife.  Weird.  It's like a man marries 'up,' but has a seedy affair 'down.'  In other words, when it comes to a crafty affair, men have lower standards.  Huhne's wife (with him on the left,( is plain and looks weary, but the mistress (right,) is a fugly moose imo.

Cupcake, you do make me laugh.

Maybe looks aren't important to him, and he wants them for their minds.

Ewww, the mistress is a minger.    His wife is way better, and looked like she was quite pretty when was younger.  The mistress looks like she has NEVER been pretty!  Maybe Yogi is right..... he is not interested in looks as a top priority.

Gotta fly now peeps.  TTFN! 

Bye Sparkles.

Ta ta Sparkles.  

hhahah cupcake.. that long face! Never was the word 'moose' so aptly chosen...

I need to go soon too...  Gonna have a quick shower and watch Corrie.  May check back later xxx

i suppose it's a case of "You lied to me and the court!" as regards perjury.No matter if you swear on a bible or whatever religious artefact. I  was called up for jury service(not picked) and we were asked if we had any religious preferences or objections etc.

Oh mieoww you lot! That's my job.

Bye for now peeps

I remember when this first came out and the emails were freely available to read on the net, and I think it's more perverting the course of justice that's the issue. Watching the news today it is a immediate custodial sentence of about three to six months for this sort of thing.

If my memory serves me right, she was out to dinner at the time of the offence and couldn't have possibly been driving.... or did I dream that 

oh what a tangled web  the girlfriend also boasted of how she could lobby high profile Cabinet ministers. Not a bit of wonder he begged his wife's forgiveness and she wasn't having any of it

oh, c'mon, we've all done it....

........................................

haven't we?

I know a sales rep or two who've paid someone to take the hit for them...

*loosens  collar*

it's not like it's a really bad thing, is it?

no, although I was once asked to do it for someone  I said sod off, or something very similar 

oh and I meant to add, if his wife is found guilty, the lawyers discussing it said they don't think the ones taking the blame normally receive custodial sentences 

*gulp*

Well if it's good enough for Joe Bloggs to get 6 months, it's good enough for a cabinet minister that dumped his wife for a bi sexual women boasting she could get people near high profile ministers.... more fool him 

*kicks ankle*   shurrup!!!!

i was only joking.

don't try back tracking now...

I know jackson  I find it all extremely funny, I remember reading about it at the time and you couldn't make it up
