Obelix   11 #1 Posted April 16, 2014 Well the headline was inevitable really...  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27042251  To be fair to the man, the road in question is incredibly tight, I've had the misfortune of trying to negotiate a minibus down there myself and it's not exactly a pleasant experience.  The talk on the street or rather round the watercooler saddens me though, loads of people appear to want his head on a pole which seems a little... excessive to say the least!

Zamo   10 #3 Posted April 16, 2014 Having a bump is not a big a deal but he made it worse for himself by not wanting to haul his fat asre out of his car to check there was no damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

alchresearch   214 #5 Posted April 16, 2014 Really a non-story isn't it?  Only if its a Labour MP. If it was a Tory this forum would be demanding their sacking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I thought Pickles had that one sewn up :-)  If it were Top Trumps then Pickles would be the master card in the fat asre category but Balls would still beat most.

Xt500 Â Â 10 #7 Posted April 16, 2014 Personally id like to see him charged as anyone else would be with failing to give details after an accident and fail to report. Â theres to much hitting other vehicles and running off and to let this slide would send the wrong message. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RonJeremy   10 #10 Posted April 16, 2014 He should have got out of his car and looked to see if there was any damage. Hardly the crime of the century. He shouldn't be sacked for such a minor offence. . . . . . . . . . Hang on a sec... he's a Labour MP..... sorry yes he should be or better still hang him as an example to others, he's no better than a common murderer.

Â No it's not the crime of the century but we should expect MPs to act with the utmost integrity. Â It would actually be great if this incident was enough to get him out of his job as shadow chancellor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
