No ‘Shock’ Here…

Voters have expressed shock after a politician was convicted of lying to the police about a car crash to cover for her son.
Because her son was driving without insurance, and fled when he crashed her car…
Councillor Nilgun Canver - Haringey Borough Council's former cabinet member for crime and community safety - was convicted at Wood Green Crown Court last week of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Oh, the irony..!

No, no shock here.

Oh, come on. Shock is entirely justified. When did we last see a politician reprimanded, never mind prosecuted, for their endless mendacity?

Recently, they have to get to the point of overt violence, corruption or theft before any action is taken. And, even then, it is normally just a quiet ticking off in the Whips' office.

True! But what real effect will it have?
