    It was just luck she did not kill someone [she was speeding and then hit a car while trying to park]. She is banned for driving for 19 months [be reduced by going on a course] and fined 1000 pounds plus 100 costs.
    The ban will be no problem as she will be given a driver and the 1100 pound fine will just be paid from her loose change.
    The court has sent out the message it is ok to drink and drive but surely Sky must sack Thompson or do Sky think making patronising comments about women more serious than drink driving.

    Would you get fired from your job if you were caught drink driving?

    If given a jail term yes.

    I would.

    Drink Driving convictions need to be reviewed to be more suited to the offender. Some well of **** gets a ban and a fine but their lifestyle is not effected whereas an ordinary working person could lose their job and home. The answer of course is don`t drink and drive but the punishment for rich ****s should be some time spent in the slammer. It would be comforting to think of Georgie getting up close with a load of carpet munchers.

    I think there would be more of an uproar if Georgie got sacked than there was for the hairy one and annoying one

    Punished ? LOL

    Those people recently walking out of shops with a TV got months and some years in jail.
    Maybe if they showed the CCTV some cleavage they would of been fined :)

    If you had done the same, would you go to jail?

    I know that if I had done the same I wouldn't be fired.

    not sure why everyone is so pissed off with this - she got a ban which is what would've happened to anyone else who did the same

    Unless her job involves driving, why should she be sacked?

    No she was treated very leniently. She was charged with drink driving. For some reason they turned a blind eye to her hitting another vehicle.

    If hitting the other vehicle had been taken into account - she would of been charged with dangerous driving etc.

    Try it tonight, get drunk and crash into a car and see what you get. I would expect you would be eating your xmas dinner in prison. Unless you got nice tits :)

    Well I got done with something similar and I certainly didn't go to jail. 20 month ban and £500 fine. It would not be dangerous driving either, it would be driving without due care and attention at the worst.
