Seems his son thinks he's a prat too. It's not so much what he did, but
lying through his teeth about it afterwards.

Huhne's only a prat for not punching the ungrateful little
git in the mouth IMO. Who exactly does diddums Peter think
has been putting food in his mouth, clothing him, feeding
him, and arranging for his education for the first 17
years of his life ?


The taxpayer.


Really ?

According to Wki

quote

he was a City entrepreneur. He told The Independent in 2008:
"I don't claim that I'm in other than a very happy position
compared with most people, because, having spent a bit of time
in the City before I was elected, being able to make a bit of
money while I was there, I have a cushion."[17][18] He started
a company named Sovereign Ratings IBCA in 1994 that tried to
"scientifically measure the risks of investing in different
countries".[17] In 1997 he became managing director of Fitch
IBCA, and from 1999 to 2003 was vice-chairman of Fitch Ratings.[17]

He's been a paid polician since 1999 (dear Peter was 6) so the taxpayer
had a large hand in it.

But I guess my point is actually why do some people consider being fed
and watered by their parents to be some sort of gift they should be
grateful for? It's what the law requires them to do! Am I supposed to
be grateful every time someone passes me in a car within the speed
limit?

Respect is earned. The idea we automatically respect our elders without
question is Victorian and not a little dangerous
(coughjimmysavillecough).
