A minister's cleaner who stole more than £90,000-worth of jewellery has avoided jail - because she is a single mother.Ah, the ‘pussy pass’ given a new twist!
Barbara Kuligowska, 30, took the jewellery from Sallie, wife of Tory energy minister Charles Hendry, while she was cleaning their Westminster home.
The Polish worker was employed by the couple at their six-bedroom house from January to October last year.Coming over here, taking the
… the judge, Peter Susman QC, handed her a 12-month prison sentence suspended for two years, and ordered her to perform 60 hours unpaid work.Sallie never got her jewellery back, of course.
Am I the only one who thinks if Charles was a true gentleman, he’d have a few stiff words for the EU-loving old fool then next time he starts pontificating on the justice system in the Commons bar..?

The politicians who so enthusiastically want the thieves of the EU to control us have to take the rough with the smooth. They have to take their losses just like we do.
Oh its sooooo difficult to get domestic staff these days isn't it, oh I'm sooooo glad we don't have those odious BNP types in charge, I mean where would we get cleaners and gardeners!
Be she pissed in their Perier as well!!!!!!!
You never hear about the 'glass ceiling' when it comes to the differences in sentencing between men & women.
I guess that's one they don't want to break through
So basically she's got to do a week and a half's work, for £90,000?
Where do I sign up?
I don't mean to come over all class warrior, but they had ninety grand's worth of jewellery lying about the house? £90,000 is a sum I wonder if I'll ever see, let alone one I might splurge on luxury items. Talk about 'them and us'.
Oh, and *sigh* re the justice system being useless and pathetic YET AGAIN.
She got off with it because she has a son. What the judge didn't consider was that the bot was living in Poland with her sister.
Prison doesn't work does it? I cannot believe that this miscreant is a POLE! Such lovely hard working polite people!
60 hours unpaid work ?
Well not really, I make it she got £1,500.00 ph - who said crime does not pay, it does and it's pay is well above minimum wage.
"You never hear about the 'glass ceiling' when it comes to the differences in sentencing between men & women. "
Heh!
"So basically she's got to do a week and a half's work, for £90,000?"
It seems she only got about £6000 for them. Or so she claims...
"I don't mean to come over all class warrior, but they had ninety grand's worth of jewellery lying about the house?"
Maybe that's just the insurance value? You know how *ahem* creative MPs can be with the claims... ;)
"It seems she only got about £6000 for them. Or so she claims..."
So that represents the destruction of value of £84,000. I'd say 10 years' hard time sounds about right. I have to work bloody hard for a couple of years to make that kind of dough. Of course, we can't even deport the bint.
Anyway, who cares if they had it lying around or not? Unless someone's suggesting they bought the stuff with fiddled expenses it's none of our business. Under law, you have a reasonable expectation of not having your gear nicked in your own home.
