Some encouraging news to finish the week on
People will still remember the bedroom tax.
He was aware that he hit the vehicle but didn't have the decency to stop and check for damage. Low life piece of shiite in my book regardless of what party he belongs to.
Bet he was red faced
at least he had the "balls" to admit it and not get his wife to take the points
Ha ha funny - he only admitted it when it was proved by CCTV and he could not get away with itat least he had the "balls" to admit it and not get his wife to take the points
Nah, he is better where he is - along with the Dianne Abbots of this world, he is the Tories secret weapon.maybe he should join the Tory party, he might feel at home there
The more he does, the more people are realising Labour are ......
As for that new tv advert - honestly laughing stock is applying more and more to an increasingly desperate Labour party
Well you could be right there John, I witnessed a van reversing at a stupid angle and he was clearly going to hit a parked car - he did, and put a dent in it and just drove off laughing - luckily I got his reg and left a note on the car - hope he got a knock on the door.
Last week I saw a person being interviewed in Belfast on BBC. In the background a truck, think it was UPS, reversed into a space and hit a car. The driver got out, had a look, presumably made the delivery, and then within a minute or two drove off. It was too far off to see the Reg No.
I think the title of this thread comparing Ed Balls to slugs is completely unfair.
To slugs.
Harriet Harman's got a similar track record :-

, John ... I disagree!
Hopefully, most people would've the common decency NOT to simply drive off after accidentally reversing into someone else's unoccupied vehicle. And ... ... frankly, I'm surprised to read your response
... coming as it does, from a former [senior] police officer!
Probably I shouldn't be ... since, in fairness, I'd imagine incidents of this nature are too commonplace for the police to do anything about - if, indeed, they're even reported at all - following the event - as, of course, by then, the person(s) responsible is/are likely to've long fled the scene.
Now, I'm not a driver ... but allow me to pinpoint an incident that occurred many years ago.
It involved my late first wife who, back then, had just passed her driving test a few months' previously.
Having purchased an old Vauxhall Viva, she decided to take the kids to the beach at St Andrews (30 miles away) one lovely summer's day.
Alas ... by the time they reached their destination, thick mist had blown in off the sea to envelop the shoreline. Undeterred, she made to park the car there anyway. And in doing so, reversed into the bumper of an expensive~looking Volvo.
Turned out damage was minimal. Nevertheless - in spite of her arthritic knee joints - my poor wife spent the next hour trekking the long seafront, knocking on many doors in a determined effort to trace the owner of the vehicle. Which she eventually managed to do. And when she did ... the plump, "matronly~looking", middle-aged female thanked my wife for her honesty, adding: "Please, my dear ... these things happen ... you really mustn't upset yourself".
However, the woman's pseudo smarminess didn't stop her from claiming off my wife's motor insurance!
