Obviously it could have been better spent, but it's Mrs Hemming who's to blame - she was bang to rights, on video, and should have pled guilty. Extra fine for timewasting and stupidity would be in order. Don't think much of the husband either, but as MPs go he's probably above average.
Can't get too upset about the cat - I know they are doing what comes naturally knocking off the garden birds and carping in the garden, but having tried it (cat ownership, not carping in the garden) I just can't get why anyone would want one as a pet. Vile things, though I have stopped blasting them with the hosepipe since the supercilious-looking black one from 3 doors down caught a rat.
There are other opinions I'm sure ;-)
