So it was someone else's fault that he tried to bully his Mrs Into taking his points was it? Then got caught playing away! Typical "right on" liberal attitude, look closer to home mate!

news international and their activities are not relevant here.

They're the whole substance of the story. Did you read it?

If you want to link to a story about the original prosecution to make your point, go ahead, but perhaps not under News any more as it isn't.

Chris Huhne is a victim of human nature - he is reluctant to admit his own part in his downfall.

He may well have a valid point about the Murdoch vendetta which her perceives was the match that lit the proverbial blue touchpaper, but -

what Mr Huhne appears to have trouble understanding that the 'vendetta' uncovered wrongdoings - his wrongdoings, and without his wrongdoings, the papers would have had no story to run.

So perhaps if her were to switch things around - 'I behaved appallingly and the papers took their perceived revenge, and I am ashamed of what I have done', would sit a lot better with the public than - 'The Murdoch papers were out to get me because I was nasty to them.

One position makes him look like he acknowldges his wrongdoing and appologises for it - the other makes him look like a mealy-mouthed self-centred bnlame-shifter.
