PoCJ has nothing to do with the speeding offence. Her brother also served time for it and he wasn't even in the car.

I think you are confused as to what she was punished for.

Just to make it clear; PoCJ has nothing to do with her speeding offence. Once you've understood that and grasped all the implications, it'll become clear to you.

That's exactly what I said...

I think Derek's lost the plot

I appear to have lost the ability to quote. I meant to include the quote 98 was replying to.

Blame it on the “virus”

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, s172 is fking outrageous in the modern age. I am quite frankly amazed more people haven’t woken up and noticed the complete removal of their rights to self incrimination as a defence being totally eradicated in a so-called ‘democratic’ state. At least in the US we have the fifth amendment, not in the USSR Cold War stasi UK.

It is just utterly scandalous. Still don’t let me spoil the party, she was clearly crazy to fight the system, get in line, bow down and pay the speeding tax.

How such a minor infraction is allowed to destroy someone’s career, livelihood and future employment prospects for something as inconsequential as 35 in a 30 just boils my piss, the idiocy of the defendant and perhaps a bit of lying aside.

Is she insane ? Probably yes, stupid and crazy perhaps. But the law is truly an arse in this case. Manifestly excessive to use PCOJ for something as inconsequential as speeding. Utterly outrageous.

The book is called ‘Snakes and Adders - A Set up for the Step Up’.

Basically she is the only black MP and the establishment doesn’t like this and has pushed her out. It’s basically all because she is black.

Odd she has never heard of Diane Abbott. Amazingly, she makes DA look talented, insightful and modest.

A genuine achievement.

Diane Abbot, David Lammy, Bernie Grant, Paul Boateng....

Yes, US law’s a lot better. God knows how we manage without the right to bear arms, eh?

‘the seeds of tragedy are there, in what we feel we have the right to bear.....’

But because we have to own up if we’re caught speeding and pay a paltry little fine, it’s outrageous?

Really?
