Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

In that it seems the case was based on camera work, he was pushing his luck a little.

Migrants handed £1m a week for children back home as thousands of British families are stripped of THEIR child benefit
Cash is awarded despite the children living in another country
Critics blast taxpayer cash going to dependents in countries like Poland
Situation will worsen when Romanians and Bulgarians allowed UK jobs

"prob because CH is/was a quasi tory secretary of state"
Actually, now you mention it, he would fit into this quasi "government" quite nicely.
Let him go free.!

But his action was the height of "Stupidity"!

I think there should be a difference between a British who pays tax a live in the country and a foreigner who come here for a short period of time for work or studying in the country.
No other country gives you free lunch like the UK does!!!! WHY?

Taking point for your spouse is very common. I know three mums who do the school run and would have lost their licences except for their husbands taking the points. One keeps doing right turns when not allowed and another speeds.

CH's wife has pleaded NOT guilty. She is going to have a tough time with that.

Quote:
"And now we face a by-election in Eastleigh, formerly a Tory/Lib Dem marginal. It is hard not to see the Lib Dem vote collapsing given that they are nationally hated and the circumstances of the contest. In that part of the world Labour is about as popular as the late Jimmy Saville and so UKIP will be licking its lips. There is no threat of “letting Labour in” by voting UKIP in this one-off contest. One imagines that the traditional Tories of Eastleigh are not exactly enthused by the tone of Call Me Dave’s conservatism. And so this may be the day. The odds have to be on a result of Conservative, UKIP, Lib Dem, Labour and then the assorted loons, but you never know. I would imagine that round at UKIP headquarters the excitement is tangible."
Should add a little bit of spice to Cameron's rituals!
