What's more, if you watch the video, you see he was driving a black range rover with personalised plate, which are only driven by people who want to look like they're crime lords. These drivers should all be stopped and given a kicking just for being prize knobheads.
He's had quite enough attention without me watching him as well.
Quote: sootyj @ March 8 2012, 8:33 AM GMTHe thought the police were giving him an escort home?
I've heard it all now.
THE BBC shelved a Newsnight investigation into allegations that Sir Jimmy Savile sexually abused a teenage girl in his dressing room at Television Centre, it has emerged.
That's a very worrying article. Covering up crimes to suit the schedule is horrendous. Though, shouldn't the police deal with accusations of sexual abuse rather than Newsnight? Or do the police not investigate if the accused is dead already?
The claims were unsubstantiated.
And neither the police nor the BBC saw any reason to pursue them.
Saville was an eccentric with a strong bond with his mother and aparently little sex drive. He may have a complex psychological profile.
It doesn't make him a paedophile. Neither do some vague accusations by a possee of borstal girls.
I see this bunch or cruel, heartless bastards are closing down the Remploy factories
Now it's the disabled that have to pay for the bankers idiocy

Chavez says capitalism may have ended life on Mars
By Eyanir Chinea
CARACAS | Tue Mar 22, 2011 3:44pm EDT(Reuters) - Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.
"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day.
Chavez, who also holds capitalism responsible for many of the world's problems, warned that water supplies on Earth were drying up.
"Careful! Here on planet Earth where hundreds of years ago or less there were great forests, now there are deserts. Where there were rivers, there are deserts," Chavez said, sipping from a glass of water.
He added that the West's attacks on Libya were about water and oil reserves.

I wonder if he was talking figuratively about Mars. I think he was probably being hyperbolic to make his point about the scarcity of resources than actually believing that Mars was once inhabited.

Couple this with ever tighter assessments on people with disabilities ability to work and it starts to suck.
No one assesses employers if they're fit to employ people.
Six UK soldiers killed in Afghanistan../..Lieutenant Colonel Zac Stenning said the six men, five of whom were aged between 19 and 21, were "incredibly brave" and would expect their comrades to continue to do their duty.
Putting words into the mouths of dead men? I would have thought that the ultimate first hand experience of the cost of war might make at least one of them say "hang on, this really isn't worth it, let's make sure no more of my mates gets killed".
And as for being "incredibly brave", well maybe they were on other occasions, but being killed in a massive explosion is not itself brave, it's sad, tragic, possibly neglectful, and definitely gives cause to question the way the mission is being run there.

Regardless of how stupid or pointless a war might seem, it's not the militaries job to publically question it. They start doing that and the next stop is Junta Town.

You're right that speeking on behalf of the dead is in terrible taste and unforgivably arrogant.
But you're wrong about the courage. Getting in an ancient poorly armoured vehicle, then trundling down a poorly swept lane. That takes more courage then I know I have.

Completely agree.
Which is why the puling sanctomonious treatment of soldiers living, injured and dead over the last 10 years makes me sick.
When a soldier signs up he agrees to serve his government. The responsibility to treat him well, protect him and not abuse his services lies with the government.
Right now our government has our soldiers defending a regime in Afghanistan. That just brought in a charter for womens rights; that includes the right to be beaten by your husband. Evaporated the national bank through corruption and is already doing deals with the Taliban.
If a platoon of squaddies machine gunned both sides of Parliament, I don't think history would judge them harshly.
