Former Conservative Shadow Minister Crashed Car After Getting "Tanked Up" While On A 'Fasting Diet'

[Arthur Little]

David Ruffley (53) - the Shadow Minister for Policing back when the Tories were in Opposition - was discovered by patrol officers, slumped over the wheel of his black Volkswagen Golf ... and, in turn, found to be well in excess of the legal limit when breathalysed.

... Beyond a "shadow" of doubt, someone in his one-time position should've known better than daring to play "fast 'n' loose" with the long arm of the law!

Three time over the limit, ... surely if he'd wanted to *give up anything at all for the season of Lent, then it ought to've been alcohol , so ... ... *that's no excuse.


Banned from driving for 2 years and ordered to carry out "roughly"eighty hours of Community Service, he got off pretty lightly, IMO ... considering the serious nature of the offence.

Not good Arthur, not good at all

Good to see the establishment setting an example for the rest of us to follow
