Re: Chris Huhne

She served 23 years with a control freak for a husband.
Four months prison will be a picnic by comparison.

She hoped that she wouldn't be found guilty, but I feel sure that the satisfaction of ruining him is her compensation.

Re: Chris Huhne

Margaret, I am with you there.
This man was conducting an extra-marital affair, whilst purporting to be a clean cut wholesome family man.
He only ditched his wife for his mistress because the papers were going to blow the gaff on him and he delivered the news that he was leaving his wife by telephone(allegedly).
He has lied consistently about something that would have had very few consequences if he had come clean in the first place.....and something that was of little relevance....Ok he would have got a driving ban, but this man is a millionaire - he can afford to employ a driver.
I would have done exactly the same if I had been in her shoes(well, except she has hurt her children, but I think they might get over it - especially when they look at the man who is their father).
She has sunk his career.......and though she has given up her lucrative job....I'm sure she will get another one.
She is well shut of this man. He is only useful as a bad example(or a doorstop).

Hang on, has being an asshole all of a sudden become a crime in the UK I followed this case briefly, only 'cause it made the headlines in the British press; but I was under the impression it was a criminal matter and nothing to do with the personal lives of the accused.

For some reason, a few lines from "Macbeth" popped into my head ... I sometimes think that I stuffed too much useless stuff in there

Son: "And must they all be hanged that swear and lie?"

Lady Macduff: "Every one."

S: "Who must hang them?"

LM: "Why, the honest men."

S: "Then the liars and swearers are fools,
for there are liars and swearers enow to beat
the honest men and hang up them."

No it has nothing to do with the legalities, but everything to do with the motivation of Vicki Pryce.
She saw an opportunity to dig his political grave, and she took her chance (knowing full well that she was going to be implicated because she had been complicit in the offence. She obviously thought it was worth it.)......it was a case of 'hell hath no fury' and all that.
I think that most women bear a streak of that in their personality....I am being perfectly honest when I say that I certainly do.

No Eric....it isn't a crime, or the jails would be full to busting with MP's.

Re: Chris Huhne

Sorry a trial has everything to do wi the legalities, otherwise we may as well all pack up.

In other words, she misused the criminal justice system in order to revenge herself on her ex.

No - she decided that the truth should be known.
...even though it was never likely to make an honest man of him.

She confessed to a crime.

I lived with a man with similar personality defects for 8 years.
I knew that he had committed perjury - I did nothing because he was a 'police witness'.
It must have been a 'trade off' for something he had done.

The justice system is corrupt, but eventually the truth gets out, and natural justice takes over.
...and he was 'offed' 20 years later by persons unknown. - coroner's verdict 'unexplained accident'.

Re: Chris Huhne

she commited teh crime because she wanted to keep her husband out of trouble and the papers it was only when she wanted revenge that she reported it or it would have been reported a lot sooner.If there was any proof that she feared for her safety if she didnt do as he asked then she wouldnt have gone to prison

out of curiosity will she have to keep the 3 points or will they get taken off her licence and put on to her husbands where they should be ?
