According to Sky News, Home Office Minister Liam Byrne has pleaded guilty to using a mobile phone while driving.
Shame on him. So he cannot even obey the laws passed by his own Government? I wonder if his punishment will be the same as would be meted out to any other member of the public.

The strictures which are placed on elected officials are ridiculous. They would not then be pollies - they’d be saints.

Hahaha …strictures.
The same ’strictures’ placed on the rest of us, of course.

There’s absolutely no excuse, I hope he feels shamed.

Byrne should resign as a Minister. The law is not there to be conveniently overstepped by MPs and ministers. What if a child had been run over by him while on the phone?
