Vicky Price

I certainly find it hard to understand how any woman could spend years with Chris Huhne, I always though he was a slimy creature before any of this blew up. But, as she did stay with him I can see that the way she was dumped would have driven her to do any thing she could to destroy him, and who can say they wouldn't do the same?

Personally, I feel Price and Huhne deserved each other. As ever with our generation and below,theye put themselves and their emotions first and if that means sacrificing the children so what.

the DB Tweet said "there are some nasty bitter women who will ruin lives there children but Vicky Price has to be the ultimate"
the errors of grammar are his.
I am still shocked by his sexist venom this morning so I thought I'd share it with you

Well said, Joan!

Actually, I think we are all getting disgusted with the current tales of the rich and shameless. There's Berlusconi and Strauss-Kahn with their tacky and sometimes illegal sexual antics, a deeply hypocritical gay bashing cardinal who turns out to be gay, and somewhat predatory himself, Jimmy Saville - nuff said there, Lance Armstrong, Australian footballers of various codes and other sports people using performance drugs, cricketers and others conspiring with bookies for match fixing, politicians of all hues behaving disgustingly....the list is never ending. Most of these people get obscene amounts of money too.

Meanwhile we lead quiet and honest lives, often struggling to manage, while that lot in charge ruin everything.

No wonder there's a bit of schadenfreude and utter disgust about!

It Huhne had taken the points in the first place, he would have lost his licence for a period - probably no more than a year. He would not have been unique among politicians and could well have afforded to employ a driver. It wasn't embarrassment he wanted to avoid - it was the inconvenience. He should have thought of that before he accumulated so many speeding points.

Oh - I did get my doo-dahs muddled up there didn't I?

Or *Grannytwoshoes^, make them do community service with flourescent jackets on.

Jess Had me worried there for a minute.

There seems to be some heated comments over the Vicky Pryce scenario. If they go to jail it's going to cost us the tax payer to "put them up" for whatever time. They aren't murderers but do need to be punished. We can't go on having one rule for one and one for another and time off for "guilty". Stinks! Hit them where it hurts..in their pockets and if a custodial sentence is deemed necessary then make them report every weekend.. 48 hours no perks! Mind you our legal system needs looking at...but that's another storey!,!

A tragedy for all concerned, most particularly for the children who will have suffered horribly through all of this. But however much one feels sorry for the horrible consequences CH and VP now face, they broke the law, they lied (and lied some more) and they each treated the other with utter contempt.

However rich, successful, clever you are, you are not immune from having serious character flaws.

Just to be perfectly clear. i do NOT follow DB on twitter!
But sometimes people retweet things and they appear in front of you.

I think Vicky Pryce is a very sad lady. Her husband is awful. They both broke the law and need to pay the price. But they are guilty of the worst crime. Awful behaviour towards their children.But I still feel sorry for them all.

I can see why she might have taken the points in the first place, really. He was a very high profile man, and the embarrassment would have extended to her and her family when it hit the press. I would do it for my husband! I can also see why she let the cat out of the bag - cheated on, discarded publicly, humiliated and enraged! The cleverest, sanest person is likely to lose the plot in those circumstances! Of course, she didn't expect the consequences. Feel a bit sorry for her, to be honest.

bloody Ballantyne (of dragons den) tweeting that she is a terrible mother this afternoon. I tweeted him back to tell him that there was wrong on both sides, and it is IWD for goodness sake. Convinced himself he is a saint that one.

I don't hate men Jings, just despair of some of 'em!

look it's called misandry

Where did this hatred of men come from?!

I hadn't thought of that when but how sad to be a mother in prison who's only chance of seeing her children is if some useless lump of man gets off his backside to visit.

It's the same with women in prison. Not many partners visiting them, or taking the children to see them, but plenty of women keepng a home going and dragging their children along to far-flung prisons to see their men.

Oh when I am shocked. Those poor women taking punishment in order to save their husbands and partners who obviously wouldn't do the same for them if the shoe was on the other foot.

Jess falls of chair in amazement.

Nope!!

did you ever come across any men that were taking the rap for their wives when ?

Hmm...while I take your point, Jess, it does seem that bluebell has misinterpreted the other posts she refers to. My comment on Frank's Tree thread was supposed to be a joke! However, it appears she has taken agin me and I can live with that.
