Harman's law: some are more equal than others


Harman's law: some are more equal than others

Harriet Harman has for the second time sparked controversy over the way that the law has leniently dealt with her speeding convictions. In February 2003, comes the first example "Harman was fined £400 and banned from driving for seven days after being convicted of driving at 99mph on a motorway. The sentence was widely criticised given that Harman's salary at the time was £115,989 plus full parliamentary pay". And, now, when everybody else is "allowed only 28 days to pay a £60 fixed penalty fine, Ms Harman was allowed to pay hers more than five months after the offence to avoid her case being heard in open court".

    Stanislav once meet Great Uncle Lord Longford over prisoner issue. Did JHL ever meet? A lovely man, considering aristo. Good job Frank dead and not see horrid po-faced nazi Harman make war on Iraqi babies in interest of keep job. A "Career" in "public service" is -how you say?- oxymoron. Mr and Mrs Harman both parasites on workers; joint income excess of quarter million, pensions, cars etc. Thieving worthless tossers. Only female to make Stanislav as angry as Harman does is doped-up Scouse headbanger Kate McCann. Saying something, eh?

    In the latest McCann spin, it has been reported that the Attorney General aka Harriet Harman said that the Portuguese police would not been pursuing further interviews with the McCanns (teletext last night).

    One might expect Clarence Mitchell to have made this comment but it was attributed to the AG.

    Ms Harman also has a sister - Sara, who is a QC and whose specialty is Family Law. She (Sara) has become involved in many child abuse cases of late where public opinion has been largely on the accused but seen as innocent parent's side; so one could be forgiven for seeing Harriet's comments as an all but cast iron a seal of Government approval as one can get.
