And another one
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/0...course-justice/ A Labour whip and ally of Jeremy Corbyn has been charged with perverting the course of justice after allegations that she tried to give away speeding points a month after her election. Fiona Onasanya, the Labour MP for Peterborough, appeared at Westminster magistrates court two weeks ago alongside her brother, Festus. The former solicitor kept news of her arrest and charge secret while serving as a Labour whip. She is due back in court next month. Solicitors and MP's seem to have issues with speeding tickets, this one is both !!! |

She still doesn't get it...
QUOTE she said constituents should “rest assured” that she would remain their representative fighting injustice in the corridors of power. Looks like a 12 month sentence is going to be required to get this one out of the corridors of power. -------------------- Regards,

Looks like a 12 month sentence is going to be required to get this one out of the corridors of power. That is the rational approach for her to take: She going from a 77k salary to being an unemployed ex-MP ex-solicitor with a conviction for dishonesty, so any job that puts her in a position of trust is off-limits. That being the case, she might as well try and hang on (and keep taking home £4.4k a month after tax) for as long as she can. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Looks like a 12 month sentence is going to be required to get this one out of the corridors of power. The House of Commons retains the power to expel its members. In my opinion, and assuming she is indeed sentenced to fewer than 12 months in prison, it should use this power, rather than wasting time and money on a recall election.

This comment was circulating a few years ago
Wonder what the up-to-date numbers are Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following statistics? 29 have been accused of spouse abuse 7 have been arrested for fraud 19 have been accused of writing bad cheques 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses 3 have done time for assault 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit 4 have been arrested on drug-related charges 8 have been arrested for shoplifting 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits 84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year Which organization is this? Answer : 635 members of the House of Commons that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line |

This comment was circulating a few years ago Wonder what the up-to-date numbers are A lot of utter twaddle has been spamming the internet for many years. At least the s who posted this version took the time to Anglicise the spelling of cheques from the American versions (variously claiming to relate to the NBA, NFL and Congress) Before propagating such twaddle, perhaps posters could spend a few seconds googling passages from the aforementioned twaddle to see if sites such as snopes.com have debunked them - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/congress-mend/ -------------------- Andy
Some people think that I make them feel stupid. To be fair, they deserve most of the credit. |

Even if the numbers were true, what was the timescale, only two are ‘current’ accusations so if we add up all the MPs over the last 600 years that’s a pretty good record. Lack of critical thought applied.

The Guardian occasionally has something worth reading, it seems: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/j...-fiona-onasanya
Evidently Onasanya's stated refusal to resign her seat angered the Politburo, and she's no longer a Labour MP or member of the party. |

Very interesting, however this puzzles me: "Onasanya would be able to stand as a candidate if a recall petition was successfully triggered", is it possible to be a parliamentary candidate for a by-election from prison? Would she have to attend the count by video-link?

You're assuming that she'll get an immediate custodial sentence, of course, rather than a suspended one.

Interestingly and moreover ironically the first line says “The rules about becoming an MP are less restrictive to those that apply to standing for election as a local councillor.” You're assuming that she'll get an immediate custodial sentence, of course, rather than a suspended one. I would hope it wouldn’t be suspended... |

You're assuming that she'll get an immediate custodial sentence, of course, rather than a suspended one. I would hope it wouldn’t be suspended... Well, quite. However I take nothing for granted when it comes to judges going gooey over a sob story. -------------------- Regards,

In that event I will be asking the Attorney General to consider referring the sentence to the Court of Appeal, and I don't imagine I'll be the only one. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

She seems to have upset the local Labour group as well, can't think why
https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/po...apter-1-8758773 TBH it seems hardly surprising that she isn't resigning. Firstly it does seem that she is living in her own fantasy land, secondly, following example of her leader who refused to resign despite losing a vote of confidence brought by his own MPs in 2016. She probably believes that she will be saved by the party members as he was. |
