    Balls involved in another crash

    Ed Balls escapes driving ban after crash but is fined £900 and given 5 points on licence  | Mail Online

    Ed Balls escapes ban for driving away from a crash - but is fined £900 and given five points on his licence
    Shadow Chancellor was charged with failing to stop after an accident
    He said in a blog post he bumped into another car while 'in a tight spot'
    Mr Balls drove off but said he had no idea he had caused any damage
    The offence could have meant a driving ban, but Mr Balls was spared
    Labour front-bencher believed to have 3 points on his licence already
    It is the fourth time in recent years he's been in trouble behind the wheel
    Pictures at the time showed Mr Balls' ageing Ford Mondeo estate clearly showing scratch marks on the bumper, but his spokesman insisted they were the result of police taking a paint sample from the vehicle.
    -wtf it was all I could do to get plod out when we were burgled, for a champagne socialist who bumps his car they call in CSI.

    At least he's not responsible for steering the economy. Yet.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      If only they had a points system, 12 points and you're out

        He is quite clearly a threat to public safety. I think he is more of a risk than Rolf Harris and on that basis should be banged up for the rest of his life.

          I would lock him up even if he was the world's safest driver, I think we should have an offence 'knowingly being part of the war criminal's or snot goblin's government' sentence should be incarceration on a Liverpool housing estate.

            You know what real grinds my gears

            He knew he had hit another car, he knew he should stop.

            However as he is a politician in a position of power he did not feel that the laws applied to him.

            I guess some animals are more equal than others.

            First against the wall....

                If you don't stop you can't be breathalysed. Allegedly.

                  I now see the appeal of becoming a judge.
