"It's nothing more than a blatant attack on bipartisanship," Reid said. Oh and what's more—House Speaker John Boehner is even noncommittal about it. "I have made clear for months and months that the idea of a default is wrong and we shouldn't get anywhere close to that," Boehner insisted.

The £80—about $127—fine can be reduced if she pays it within 14 days (down to £40, or $63).
