Drunken Failure should know better
The drunken failure, Charles Kennedy, has been caught smoking on a train.
The former leader of the Illiberal Dipshits was not given an illegal on-the-spot fine but was given a talking to by British Transport Police. The ginger whinger apaprently told officers that he thought he was allowed to lean out of the window and smoke without breaking the law.
What an utter crock of shit! Kennedy is still an MP and actually voted for the smoking ban – how could he not know what he was allowed to do under the legislation? He knew what he was doing and he should have been prosecuted. Ignorance of the law is not a valid defence.

He wasn’t given a fixwd penalty because the Police do not enforce/or have the power to enforce the smoking ban. Its up to the local councils and their snooper squads. So as Charles had not broken an arresable offence, it wasn’t a Polce matter.
July 8th, 2007 at 8:31 amThere’s no such thing as an arrestable offence any more – the police can arrest you for committing any offence, no matter how trivial.
July 8th, 2007 at 9:04 amHow can he use the excuse he did not know as he voted for it or did he not know what he voted for?
Either case he should resign as an MP as he clearly is unfit for the purpose.
