Isn't it nice to see people eventually do the right thing?

John Porfumo wasnt THAT good -
well he was in bed...( he said ) you know one of his chat up lines later on, to young young gurlz was:
have you beend to bed with a seventy y old ? O I can recommend it .....
I bet he could.....dirty little sod
NB this post has nothing to do with Maria Miller whose life I know for a fact is innocent as the driven snow

if she'd paid back the money I wouldn't care whether she went or not.
All this palaver about her apology is nonsense. And all it means that in future anyone having to make one will have to grovel more.
I posted on your Pistorius thread yesterday, saying the same thing. Lindy Chamberlain was jailed for not looking emotional enough, even though she was not guilty of killing her baby. So Pistorius has to look emotional whether he's guilty or not.
Same here. Miller didn't look emotional enough. In future MPs in trouble will have to look emotional. This will say nothing about whether they're in the right or not.
We are demanding the wrong thing of malefactors.

Yeah I thought Pistorius was bidding for an extra in the remake of
" Cry - Freedom !"
I am not sure you can cry your way out of a murder charge.
Lindy Chamberlain ( How do you bring up a child in Oz ? Stick you r fingers down a dingo's throat ) was NOT convicted because she didnt cry.
In fact she was pretty good about screaming ' a dingo's has got my baby !'
Far more complicated than that and includes of course crap defence.

not so, Peter, it was widely agreed at the time that she hadn't acted as a real mother might. This is in court, not at the scene. (Call it crap defence, it obviously was, but it's not a mistake defendants make now.) Family members are now expected to give press conferences awash with grief, make emotional pleas to the ones responsible to return their loved ones, tell the world how their life has been ruined.
This is Diana grief and of course time and time again it has nothing to do with whether they might actually be guilty of something themselves.

One of the reasons was that the expert on dingo behaviour basically said, dingos never do that....
and he was a dingo expert as a Prof of Zoology in London !
The case was an odd one, as after weeks of argument it boiled down to: did they jury believe little Azariah was taken in a chillemise, or was she not ? The jury thought the child didnt have a chemize on, and so the mother ( who insisted she had ) was lying.... and then as you know the chemize was found in a dingo's air half way up Ayre's Rock.
