Nice example being set by one of our 'leaders' Rolling Eyes

Immigration minister Liam Byrne has been fined £100 after admitting using his mobile phone while driving.
The Birmingham Hodge Hill MP was also ordered to pay £35 costs and given three points on his licence at Sutton Coldfield Magistrates' Court.

Mr Byrne, who pleaded guilty by letter, said he had been taking an important call on a deportation matter but there was no excuse and he was remorseful.


I find the fact he even mentioned that the call was 'important', very arrogant. Mad

His licence was also endorsed with three penalty points - he already had three points on his licence - and ordered to pay £30 costs.


Still, good to see the law is being applied to all. Wonder what his other points were for?

Now you know why the immigration figures are so way out. He was being harassed by the police while making his important phone call. I just wish that more phone users were done as it seems to still be an activity that is only sometimes brought to book.
