She had two/three children from her first marriage to Mr Pryce, didn't she? A marriage she left because she was having an affair with the rich glamorous, ambitious, successful Mr Huhne. She was already pretty successful. I guess they fed off each other's ambitions. They used to host great salons and really fancy themselves as a leading thinking couple.
He may well have bullied her into taking his points but she did do it. And for a highly intelligent, incredibly well educated person to be so stupid as not to know that this was illegal is completely unbelievable. Yes, he may have been a bully towards her, quite possible. He is an arrogant fucker. But for heaven's sake, she loved his arrogance before they fell out.
After the relationship fell apart she was manipulative, arrogant and slippery. I thought trying to put the blame on a young aide, who had to get PCC protection, was despicable. Any shred of respect or sympathy I had for her disappeared then.
I am sure she was very, very hurt by agreeing to have an abortion. But you don't throw all this stuff about in public when you have children. She has caused all this despair and horror in her family. My mother had a very bad time in her first marriage. But as my siblings have a good relationship with our father, she is able to share her pain only with me. To share it with my siblings, even privately, would cause them enormous pain. So she doesn't do it.
Yes, Huhne was, is, a shit. And he left his wife in a truly unpleasant manner. But he did not set up the train of events which has led to them going to prison. She has.
I agree with what has been said about Carina Trimmingham. You spend your life selling shit - hardly surprising when it comes back to bite you.
