I'd like to be able to admire him for such a skill, but sadly I've worked with enough people who can look you straight in the eye and lie through their teeth without even having to put any effort into it.

Post by: usedbustickets on February 03, 2012, 22:27:29 PM: I recall a similar sanctimonious MP Johathan Aitken making the same sort of gilded statement prior to a civil, which quickly became a criminal, action, which went:

"If it falls to me to start a fight to cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism in our country with the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play, so be it. I am ready for the fight. The fight against falsehood and those who peddle it. My fight begins today."

Like Huhne he was looking for the family to lie for him, well at this stage in Huhne's case allegedly ....but in Aitken's case M'lud said guilty ... and down he went for 18 months. So the precedent is there for Huhne :)

Post by: Highlander on February 03, 2012, 22:38:00 PM: The thing that disturbs me is that the decision was taken by Mr Rene Barclay, a senior and very experienced prosecutor, in consultation with Sue Hemming, the Head of Special Crime Division.

Has she nothing better to do with her time.:(

Yep. Perverting the course of justice is a far reaching offence but for this level (and there are a few precedents), then you'd be looking at a few weeks inside.
An aggravating feature, in the judges eyes, might be his position as a minister means he should be expected to st an example and this might increase any sentence.

Of course he's innocent until proven guilty and may well be found not guilty at trial.
