To Huhne it May Concernâ¦.
What a pretty kettle of fish this isâ¦
Just as the CPS finally reach the starting blocks regarding the trial of Chris Huhne for allegedly forcing his wife to take his speeding pointsâ¦
The Kent police inconveniently go and arrest the star prosecution witness, the woman to whom Vicky Pryce, Huhneâs ex-wife, is alleged to have confessed that she was not driving that night.
Kent police are saying nowt as to why they have arrested and subsequently bailed her, hardly surprising given that she is both a barrister and a judgeâ¦
A spokesman for the Office for Judicial Complaints said: âThe lord chief justice and lord chancellor have suspended Constance Briscoe from the judiciary pending the outcome of the police investigation into the allegations against her. It would be inappropriate to comment further while the investigation is activeâ.
You couldnât make it up. What Pryce justice now?

I truly hope this doesnât derail the Huhne trial â which had already been
postponed until 14 January next yearâ¦
It is very very inconvenient. I had ordered a large hog roast, dozens of
canapes, champagne, all sorts of stuff for a whopping party to celebrate
Huhneâs demise at the hands of a jury. All has had to be either frozen or sent
back. The marquee? Donât ask me about that!
Please tell me heâs guilty, and not the subject of a giant âfit upâ by his
raving ex wife and her best mate the judge!!

Could it not simply be a case that if a prosecution witness as part of
their evidence was found to have committed a crime as well then there is a
duty to arrest them for that crime. For example if someone, perhaps an officer
of the court, was privy to a crime being committed but then did not report the
crime then they are guilty of breaking laws themselves.
In this case it might not benefit the defendent at all as it could be that
the evidence of the crime is so watertight thanks to the process of gathering
evidence by the CPS that others are finding themselves in hot water tooâ¦.

The QCs representing Mr Huhne (John Kelsey-Fry) and Ms Pryce (Clare
Montgomery) are also representing Rebekah and Andy â and the lead prosecuting
counsel (Andrew Edis) is also on both cases. Probably a coincidence, and
obviously completely unconnected to the case of the Sunday Times trying to
prevent the police getting their hands on emails between its political editor
(Isabelle Oakeshotte, cousin of the LibDem peer) and Ms Pryce back in
January.

The yUK gets more like Zimbabwe every day. (Except of course that Zimbabwe
inflation is lower than yUK)

I couldnât possibly comment, except to wonder whether a certain bewigged
lady might be the next Huhnelette.
And I queued a post for the morning.

Cue âEntry of the Gladiatorsââ weâll need it before this whole story is
done and dusted.

It would appear the green EU lobby is trying to flex its muscle especially
because there is much talk of cutting subsidies and fits from windmills and
solar panels.

I have no idea why Kent Police would arrest someone in the Metâs manor. Sheâs a well-respected and highly qualified lawyer.

Isnât it interesting how if you stick up a FB joke which upsets somebody,
the police will arrest you within days and youâll be doing 12 weeks because
the magistrate fails to understand that the difference between sending a
message and publishing.
Whereas â¦. trial movedâ¦. gosh, alright for someâ¦.I wonder if Iâd get to
keep my job while a case was outstandingâ¦. one law for them, another for us.
Donât give me any more twaddle about equality before the law; I know what
Iâm looking at.

Like Den, I really donât know who to trust any more either. As you say, you
really couldnât make it up. Is the career of this judge going to be trashed
simply to protect Huhne so that he can reappear back in the Cabinet shortly
(like that other crook David Laws)? As you say, you couldnât make it up â¦

No methinks. It just doesnât add up. This is a massive over reach. Is
there a European element? Sheâs obviously gone postal but has ego struck
prematurely? Maybe just a cooling off period and a stern talking to. It
almost sounds like Huhneâs been sounding off.

Something stinksâ¦

Yes, the stench emanates mostly from the Palace of Westminster, and ACPO
who have become the âHMV dogâ to TPTB, abusing & misusing their own
officers to do the bidding of âHis Masterâs Voiceâ.
A pox & a plague on all of âem!

Very scary indeed â must be careful what I say or Iâll be next (not that I

Trouble is I donât know who or what to believe anymore â I no longer trust
anyone in authority above the rank of Boy Scout patrol leader. One of the
intentions of the Frankfurt School was to confuse plebs like me â TPTB have
succeeded in this objective among others.
