Is it just me.... or is the Labour party a complete discrace and full of people who ignore all of our traffic (and probably other) laws?

She's on police bail because they're waiting for the results of a blood sample to come back.

Make of that what you will.

IMO, she took a blood test rather than the usual breath test via a Lion Intoximeter simply because she knew the result would not be back from the lab before polling day on the 6th May.

They won't need to prove anything but you will have to move house due to the threats of violence from stupid people and never be able to work again as you're on the CRB gossip list so can't pass the ISA test.

Kathryn Smith, a Labour parliamentary candidate, was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving after crashing a car into a roundabout.


A Kent Police spokesman said: ''A 49-year-old woman from Welling has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving following a road traffic collision on April 26, 2010.

''Only one vehicle was involved in the collision at University Way, Dartford, at around 10pm. The car appears to have collided with a roundabout.

''The woman was taken to hospital with injuries which are not believed to be serious. The woman has been bailed until July 10 pending further inquiries.''

She hasn't been proved guilty so is innocent. Obviously this may change, but if hadn't been proved guilty I certainly wouldn't want people assuming the police had put me on bail therefore I must be guilty.
