Charges could result in prison sentences of up to seven years for all four people in the car, or a two-year sentence if the gun turns out to be a fake, a source told the Sun.

I’ve read reports from dailymail.co.uk that the photo has been scrubbed from media sites. It was posted earlier, but it has been removed. So if there is no photo, does that mean it did not happen?

The Nazis executed people who only knew of someone else having a weapon ;the “crime” was not reporting the gun to the “authorities”.

Any government that disarms the people is evil.

It seems she didn’t learn the lesson from the late Princess Diana, “Don’t get in the car with a drunk driver in France.”

because in the pictures, unfortunately for her, it does look as though she found the funny side of it," he said.
Does this mean that if Pippa was smiling while the driver was (stupidly) jokingly pointing the pistol, then she's guilty of participation?

God help civilization.

So, Pippa was in a car in France with a guy who held a gun and she and the other passengers will be prosecuted in England? That’s what you call some of that there totalitiarianism.

Y'all can have her.

She's even got this huge nasty bloody tumor growing out of her head.

Ew.
