February 5, 201312 yr I never claimed to be a victim, nor a speeder. I didn't say I had a problem with the law, I have a problem with the police hiding in fucking bushes to catch people. (On the hill down from Alton Towers. Police car fitted with radar was hidden from view of the southbound carriageway by hedges. I saw it in my rearview mirror after I passed it, under the limit) Err, when did I imply that you were a victim or a speeder?
February 5, 201312 yr When I started driving 6 years ago fuel cost £1.05/l. It's now £1.40/l. That's a third. My wages in that period has risen by approximately 12%. I wouldn't call that a fall in real terms. I call that being taken advantage of by the government's fuel escalator. Public transport is insanely overpriced. You aren't going to convince me to take the train when it costs half the price for me to drive to Edinburgh and back AND pay for parking in the city centre.
February 5, 201312 yr The overall cost of motoring has fallen. That takes into account all the costs, including greater fuel efficiency.
February 6, 201312 yr I never claimed to be a victim, nor a speeder. I didn't say I had a problem with the law, I have a problem with the police hiding in fucking bushes to catch people. (On the hill down from Alton Towers. Police car fitted with radar was hidden from view of the southbound carriageway by hedges. I saw it in my rearview mirror after I passed it, under the limit) Surely the point of hidden speed control is so that it catches those who'd drive above the limit when they think they're not being monitored? I don't see the issue here. Whether they're hidden or not, the speeders are still in the wrong. And my mum lives on that road; it's not suited to be the main road to one of the most-visited attractions in Europe: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/258...h-wreckage.html (amongst many) Edited February 6, 201312 yr by Harve
February 6, 201312 yr The byelection will be held on February 28. Clearly the Lib Dems think a short campaign represents their best chance of winning.
February 6, 201312 yr What a snidey miserable cow his wife is. She happily lied for him then dobs him in because he left the ugly bitch for a decent woman.
February 11, 201312 yr And I thought squeezing sexism into this story would be difficult. Where has anyone done that?
February 11, 201312 yr Where has anyone done that? What a snidey miserable cow his wife is. She happily lied for him then dobs him in because he left the ugly bitch for a decent woman.
February 11, 201312 yr How is that sexism? What charsui has said is slightly prejudiced, but it's not sexist in my opinion (unless I'm being really dumb and missing something really obvious).
February 11, 201312 yr Removing all blame from a culpable man in favour of blaming a less culpable woman, objectification and oversimplification of gender roles mostly.
February 11, 201312 yr Removing all blame from a culpable man in favour of blaming a less culpable woman, objectification and oversimplification of gender roles mostly. Where did I do that? I stated, as a fact, that she was happy to go along with it until he left her. What has that got to do with sexism or gender? You obviously view everything as a gender issue. I think that says more about you than me.
February 11, 201312 yr If you paid any attention at all to the court case, you'd know neither she (nor the rest of the family) were AT ALL happy to go along with it.
February 11, 201312 yr Try to avoid going too far into the details of the ongoing court case until it is over.
February 11, 201312 yr Isn't a lot of it public record? I'd say it's pretty undisputable that regardless of whether Huhne/Pryce are guilty or not that the family (particularly his son) were pretty unhappy with the circumstances surrounding it, especially considering he's pleaded guilty.
February 11, 201312 yr You should still avoid comment that strays in to the territory of whether his ex-wife is guilty.

February 12, 201312 yr You should still avoid comment that strays in to the territory of whether his ex-wife is guilty. Does her case not rest on admitting that she did do it but that she is innocent as she was compelled to do so by Huhne under marital pressure?
February 12, 201312 yr Does her case not rest on admitting that she did do it but that she is innocent as she was compelled to do so by Huhne under marital pressure? And that will be a significant part of the jury's deliberations.
February 13, 201312 yr Author The candidate list for the Eastleigh by-election is as follows: Wessex Regionalist - Colin Bex Elvis Loves Pets Party - David Bishop Peace - Jim Duggan Beer, Baccy and Crumpet Party - Ray Hall Monster Raving Loony - Howling Laud Hope Conservative - Maria Hutchings UKIP - Diane James Health Action - Iain Maclennan Christian - Kevin Milburn Labour - John O'Farrell TUSC - Daz Procter Independent - Danny Stupple Liberal Democrat - Mike Thornton English Democrats - Michael Walters Opinion polls seem to suggest it'll be a close contest between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, although that could change in the run-up to the election. Nice to see that David Bishop still doesn't have anything better to do with his time.
