C’mon, c’mon, Grey Area. Even I know that you’ve got more sense than that – just !
I find that reassuring, coming from you. I’ll start to worry on the day you praise my powers of reason.
Who are “Those almost everyones” as a matter of interest?
You know, Jim. Them. :p

As you seem to be unable to understand the word Joe Bloggs, read instead, “Your ordinary man in the street”
I hope your not calling me a MORON as it inferes, if so, I find it highly insulting to a fellow member of this forum, if so, keep your blo**y thoughts to yourself.if that’s the case.
“That’s only my opinion,” is exactly that, MY OPINION, not everyone else.Once again you have just about turned this into your typical slanging match.
There is the facility of a P.M. if you feel so strongly about what I say.USE IT!!Has that made it clear to you Charlie?.

Calm down, dear, as the man said!!:rolleyes: And when you have, read my post again. I have insulted no one other than the people I have described.
I thought the forum was for expressing our opinions, whether others agree or not. If you don’t agree with mine, that’s your prerogative. Hardly a slanging match, I would have thought. But I would agree that there is a paucity of rational debate at times.

Re 91
C’mon, c’mon, Grey Area. Even I know that you’ve got more sense than that – just !
“The man in the street” is gender neutral, just like “mankind” or, “Chairman”.
We all know – that is, those intent in not “nit-picking” what Jim means. I tend to agree with him. If you ask the “bloke on the pavement”, at least those bothered enough to reply, would all, I imagine, say that the pair almost got away with it.
Heaven above knows, that there are, featured in our daily newspapers, enough examples of the maladminstration of justice – do not be a provocateur and ask me to list them – to ensure that this most obvious and blatant example of judicial perversion must not go unpunished with a sentence that fails to underline the gravity of the matter.

Funny how almost everyone claims to be speaking up for ‘the ordinary man in the street’, isn’t it?
Even when they’re saying the exact opposite to someone else who also claims they’re speaking for ‘the ordinary man in the street’.
Why, it’s almost as though individuals have infinitely varying shades and degrees of opinion instead of falling neatly into rigid categories of thought!
And I don’t know about where you live, Jim, but round here the streets have women in them as well as men. 😉
Well that’s a surprise Lance, we too have women here also. It’s a general accepted expression, ie,” The man in the streets.” :)Who are “Those almost everyones” as a matter of interest?

So thank goodness we don’t leave judgments like this to the morons who typify “Joe Bloggs”.
Well of course it’s only opinions – not sure why you always repeat it – we are all expressing our opinions here – that’s what the forum is.:)

It may seem as overkill to you, but I bet Joe Bloggs in the street wouldn’t agree with you.
And bear in mind, it’s only YOUR opinion.the same as mine is just mine.

Gary, I wasn’t quoting the Law Per Sey, it was just MY opinion. Some of the likes of him really do believe they are above the Law, an example has to be made to show they are not above the Law.In the circumstances, he got off too lightly. Do you honestly think you or I, having committed Perjury, and attempting to Pervert the Course of Justice would have got off as lightly?.

Just wondering if there has been a precedent set you can remember ,if so what sentence did they/him/her get?

That’s total overkill! There is early release for capital crime except in extreme circumstances when the criminal is a threat to society. How is it “them and us” – I believe they were given the maximum sentence allowed under the law. It’s beginning to sound like “let’s bash him ‘cos he’s loaded….or ‘cos I can’t stand the lying oiler”. Thankfully we haven’t descended to that level of judgement here – yet.

It might be that they are both up for a bit more porridge! I see that David Burrowes MP has written to Dominic Grieve (Attorney General) alleging that the Huhne/Pryce sentences are insufficient given the gravity of the crime.
The MP has asked for the sentences to be reviewed. If Grieve concurs, then the case will be referred back to the Courts.
I hope that he is given, what I would have given him if I were the Judge, as I said earlier, TWO yrs, with no early release for good behaviour, otherwise we are going back to a “Them and us” situation.
Sorry, but an example has to be made, to our “Right Dishonourable Friend” a saying which should be binned I.M.H.O. Use the saying Briefs use in Courts, “My learned Friend”.Then you can argue whether the person is Learned or not, if you get my drift.:)
Just my opinion.

Hopefully not. They should out on the street in orange fatigues getting their hands dirty for 3 months – and overnighting in a hostel.
