You would be surprised how many mp's have previous driving offences from lots of points to drink driving.

Despite the fact they want to clamp down on everyone else!

If Balls was trying to avoid the charge you might have a point, but, er, he's copping a plea. Balls is a knob, IMO, but this seems a bit of a non story.

Didn't he initially try to avoid the charge by pissing off without leaving any details?

Certainly bereft of info, unlike any report on Joe public, where you would get chapter and verse, and then some!

Well that's quite confusing, anatomically speaking.

From what I can tell, that makes them similar to the general public.

I was talking to a security screening person at a client's office recently (three colleagues & I were being screened), and she remarked on how unusual it was to see four driving licences at once with no current points on.

And amazing that a security screening person would disclose anything about the content of other documents that she was reviewing...

I was worried for people on here. They weren't able to get a conspiracy theory and "one rule for them" with the justice system, so it's good to know it's in the media laugh

If she let you in without further enquiry then she was wrong. If it was that unusual she should have asked for more info.

I remember a doctor once saying "I can't think of any ethics that's stop me saying the patient is in perfect heaslth". A similar ethic might apply here; I'd have no objection to someone saying my licence is clean.

Given that I was passing her them at the time it's not really that odd...
