Strange how the Lib Dems were all but squeaky clean (apart from the odd drunk) until they joined the Government, whereupon they suddenly become sleazy and corrupt. Could it be that our sleazy and corrupt tabloids have been ignoring them all this time, but are now trying to stitch them up?
Ephraim Hardcastle told Mail readers on May 10: “The Liberal Democrats’ saturnine Energy Secretary Chris Huhne, 56, who is said to have asked an aide to accept penalty points on his behalf for a speeding offence, reminds me of the late Tory MP Sir Gerald Nabarro. In 1972 he was charged with dangerous driving when his Daimler forced two cars off the road by going the wrong way around a roundabout in Totton, Hampshire. He said his secretary, Margaret Mason, was driving. Although eventually acquitted, witnesses were certain it was the moustachioed Gerald who was behind the wheel.”
My comment mentioning this was censored – this is a beat up the LibDems thing, nothing more. The bizarre thing is next time round all these disaffected LD voters have nowhere to go but Labour, so arguably the Mail is shooting itself in the foot.
Obviously I haven’t bought the DM to check, but the Maily Telegraph had a shot of Imogen Thomas not only arriving at court, but more importantly to the Torygraph cognescenti also of her leaving, i.e. a shot of her arse in a figure-hugging skirt.
nb. I don’t read the Telegraph, but people in my house do.
Oh eck! my sides are splitting*
*Some sarcasm maybe included.
Would that be the blackmail claim on the front of the Express today?
Also, anyone else find it ‘interesting’ that one week Huhme attacks Cameron & Osbourne, and then the next a ’scandal’ appears out of nowhere.
She’d fix that gagging if she breathed through her nose.

Surely it’s time to impose a super injunction on our reckless tabloids, given their ability to continue to write stories dressed as news?
