Eight months - and he'll only serve three inside! After perverting the course of justice, that's the best one of our more useless 'Cocklecarrots' can come up with? And, yes, I know I'm sounding like one of those old ladies who sat cackling and knitting beneath the scaffolds of revolutionary France, but Huhne was a cabinet minister, a member of the Privy Council, a man looked up to and admired by the mental retards in the il-Lib-non-Dem party and he deserved at least eighteen months, not a measly eight with four off for 'good behaviour' served mainly in a holiday camp! And his wife deserves a gong from 'Her Maj' for exposing this arrogant hypocrite for what he is, not eight months inside! Let me be clear, if it was 'Joe Doe' up on this charge the punishment would be about right, I suppose. But Huhne, as a leading politician, had a greater responsibility to the country to behave well in adverse circumstances. As he has now admitted, he should have 'coughed' immediately, taken his punishment like a man and moved on to other activities. Instead, he huffed and bluffed - and thus blew his own house down. Good riddance, I say, and Big Bubba - do it - for England!
Agreed. Disappointingly short sentence, but the very idea of him sadly unwrapping that new toothbrush he prudently bought, and settling down for the night onto a patch of dried bank-robber's ejaculate, is almost more satisfying than I can say.
Wonderful day!

Thinking on my post later I did wonder if perhaps I had been too vindictive - but then I reminded myself what an arrogant, stupid, and in the political sense, dangerous man he was and my incipient pity shrivelled!

Can't fault your last comment, Duff. Sums the blighter up.
