I think he deserves 100 hours community service.. after all he has done a lot for charity over the years.I for one know he is a chairman of many good causes..

Not defending him...............BUT

If you steal a car, mug a granny or rob a house you get a slap on the wrist.

People lie many times a day, every day and get away scot free.

Think there is a problem with the judicial system womewhere along the line.

Very lenient judge, considering the gravity of the offences.

[farmer george] 19/7/2001 13:30

lesk,

if he's found guilty you stand more chance with his wife ;)

[drewz] 19/7/2001 13:25

Sentenced! 4 years in the filthiest cell they can find. Take him down! ...and remove his trousers....

perjury, politician ; politician, perjury.....thought they meant the same thing.

Hands up all those who believe politicians always speak the truth. Thought so..In a min who's that at the back.....Sorry Mrs. A didn't see you there. What you're not voting! You want to leave the room...Go on then....Anybody else...........................................................Thought not.

Looks like he'll be biting pillows by the time the Dow has closed.

Its called milking the hospitality ask anyone who`s been on jury service.(friend who has)

Pass the Johnny Walker.

I cannot imagine what is taking them so long - not been in the courtroom obviously, but seems like a pretty open and shut case to me: Send 'im daaarn!

[jarthur] 19/7/2001 00:06

Must be a few kn*bheads on the jury for it to take so long!!
It's about time he was nailed.

My guesses - Guilty 7 years

I hope he's found guily but wouldn't be suprised to see him get away with it.

Try reading Stranger Than Fiction by Michael Crick - unauthorised biography of JA's life. I think it's been updated with more material since I read it but it really shows him to be a very ambitious, slippery and scheming man. Obviously it could all be untrue but then I guess JA would have sued for libel.

[zzaxx99] 18/7/2001 17:37

Funny the number of rumours surrounding JA that put his dubious actions in a better light. Funny the number of them that turn out to be complete fabrications....

[tomrob] 18/7/2001 17:34

My source at the time worked for ITN and she believed it. From which we may conclude that he and his cohorts may or may not be good at the game.

[spongy2] 18/7/2001 17:28

That was a rumour, possibly put out by himself or his cohorts at the time. Don't underestimate Archer.

[tomrob] 18/7/2001 17:21

And I have absolutley no idea if that was true or not but it was some time after the Tory conference bombing if I recall.

and......?

[tomrob] 18/7/2001 17:12

Way back when, I heard that the woman he was paying off had been seeing not him but a political colleague with a disabled wife.

An interesting twist re the jury - most accused are probably horrified at being judged by 12 people without the wherewithal to escape jury service, whereas I bet Jeff relishes in that fact.
