A Hoon....

or a Nabarro de nos jours?

And what sort of person asks their spouse to join them in a conspiracy that perverts the course of justice?

Oh, I dunno - in general terms it sounds horrible, conspiring to obstruct the course of justice, who would do that? I agree...

but when it comes to the specific question of points on driving licenses, I have a feeling married couples do this sort of thing all the time without much embarassment and it's crime that's socially acceptable.

All the energy secretary has to do is take to the airwaves and test his popularity

in his case this may not prove quite so fruitful ...

'it's crime that's socially acceptable'. Why, B? Any crime impacts on the rest of a criminal's family and we don't expect familial collusion in evading punishment to be overlooked.

And his remarks on his innocence and defending himself vigorously don't bode well for the woman he is charged with either. Bit of a zero sum game there.

That is a very funny link, ND; rather undermines the "hope to see you back in government soon"ishness of Nick Clegg's letter.

"I have a feeling married couples do this sort of thing"

I know a married couple who tried to, once. At the other end of the phone there was a sort of pause, and then "Shall we send you the photographs"?

Collapse of stout party, as they say.

In the particular case of Hoon - well it couldn't happen to a nicer chap.

My wife has a false beard/glasses to cover such an eventuality.

Why did I never think to teach my other half to drive?

Not that I have ever committed any motoring offences - or at least not been caught yet - apart from a over-staying parking ticket or two!

I am not saying it's right, Angels, but I am saying that many people would do the same.

(now there is a rumour that Huhne gave her name as the driver without asking her .. now that would be shocking)
