    On the small chance my Conservative parliamentary candidate visits, I shall
    tell him I shall not be voting for him as I do not like the way a local
    Conservative peer thinks it's okay to break the law with impunity and I
    cannot possibly vote for a party that has such flagrant law-breakers in its
    ranks.

    Cheers, helen s

    Or for the party that has allowed such sentencing (or lack of it) to be
    standard practice?

    The difference between the parties being that Jack Straw gets his driver
    to break the limit for him and the driver doesn't get prosecuted.

    I see he trotted out the old favourite:
    "He said he also travelled a great deal in his work for charity, and argued
    that his ability to continue to serve the public would suffer if he was
    unable to drive".

    I would immediately ban/fine/imprison/castrate <1> any lawbreaker who gave
    me that bullsh*t.
    And I'd take the name and address of any magistrate or judge who accepted it
    as mitigation and call round to sell them London Bridge.

    <1> In the best tradition of URC.

    It goes beyond that. The magistrates are independent, and anyway can only
    sentence on the basis of the charges put by the Crown. Why wasn't this man
    prosecuted for dangerous driving? The Court's power to sentence would have
    been greatly increased (including imprisonment) if he had.

    That's only if cutting off their goolies doesn't work.

    Whereas the dibble who was driving the Met's head of TrafficPlod at 80 on
    the N. Circ. /did/ get fined and endorsed...

    Consistency: we've heard of it.
