Chris Huhne, the British Energy (aka Climate Change) Minister, is in a heap of trouble for trying to avoid auto speeding points by putting them in his ex-wife’s name. From The Daily Mail (where else?):
The feud between Energy Secretary Chris Huhne and his economist ex-wife Vicky Pryce culminated yesterday in sensational charges against both of perverting the course of justice.
Mr Huhne, the first Cabinet minister in history to be forced from office by a criminal prosecution, fiercely protested his innocence and pledged to fight the charge of using his former wife’s name to escape speeding penalty points. Greek-born Miss Pryce, by contrast, made no reference to how she intends to plead, simply declaring she hoped for a rapid resolution to the case.
If she admits the charge, she could be called to give evidence against Mr Huhne, while if she decides to plead not guilty, she will almost certainly end up side by side with her husband in the dock.
The allegations, which stretch back to 2003, surfaced after the couple separated in 2010 when the Energy Secretary announced he was leaving his wife of 27 years for his aide Carina Trimingham, who had previously been in a civil partnership with a woman.
Sex change. Climate change. What next?
Just when you think the Warmists can’t go any further, they find a way.
I guess so much for the cause of lesbianism being biological unless you count power as an aphrodisiac that is naturally occurring.
Is Newt tired of his third wife yet? This sort of thing matters.
Did I read that right? He drives like a bat outta hell and can recruit from the other team?
He’s Kramer and Paul Newman all rolled up in one!
That he’s profiting from the climate change myth to boot makes him kind of a hero.
That has long been my goal. Well, not really a goal because I have principles, but…. Making libs willingly give me there money for some pie-in-the-sky boondoggle that smacks of enviro-credibility is awesome in its awesomeness!!!
He’s got to be laughing his ass off. Privately.
My esteemed Mr. Sadleburr.
He’s not getting libs to give him their money, he’s using the power of a progressive libtard government to take it from all those regular British blokes at the point of a gun.
‘ell hath no fury.
Better headline;
Leading figure in giant scam headed for hoosegow, and not a minute too soon.
That was no sex change. That was identity theft.
After taking a look at Hume’s picture at Daily Mail, I’m not sure Carina Trimingham went for an orientation change, know what I mean? In any case, if Hume is a role model, I just can’t make the connection between liberalism and masculinity.
