Brown support for Harman over driving charges
(UKPA) – 1 hour ago
Gordon Brown has signalled his support for Camberwell and Peckham MP Harriet Harman after the disclosure that she is to face prosecution over her involvement in a car accident while allegedly using her mobile phone.
The Prime Minister's spokesman said Mr Brown still has "full confidence" in Ms Harman, who is intending to deny the charges.
The spokesman said: "He is fully supportive of her. She refutes the allegations and will deny the charges. She hasn't been convicted of anything. The Prime Minister has full confidence in her."
The Crown Prosecution Service said that Ms Harman, the Labour deputy leader, will be charged with driving without due care and attention and driving while using a hand-held mobile telephone following the incident last July in Dulwich.
Driving without due care and attention carries a maximum fine of £5,000 and an endorsement of up to nine points on your licence.
Ms Harman has several previous driving convictions.
She was banned from driving for seven days and fined £400 after admitting speeding at 99mph on the M4 near Swindon, Wiltshire, in January 2003. She was said to be taking her son back to Bristol University after the Christmas break.
She was also fined £60 and given three penalty points for exceeding a temporary speed limit in Suffolk in April 2007.
The law banning driving with a mobile phone was introduced in 2003 when Ms Harman was the Solicitor General. Illegitimi Non Carborundum

Would be very fitting to be prosecuted and found guilty of breaking a law she herself introduced, it would also show how much disregard for the rules these people have. They impose them on others, but think they are immune from compliance themselves  I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Watch her squirm out of it. At least when she does, she will have set a precedent for the rest of the populace. No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!

Sound like she is like the rest of the population. She is discovering the conquences of the laws she introduced. 
Maybe targeting polies with the stupid nanny laws they bring in will make them think twice about making any more.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
