Answers On A Postcard, Please.

It is all too easy for those with no legal training to jump to conclusions and offer ill-informed opinions but it does seem odd to this uninformed layman that the driver of a Range Rover that was involved in a collision with a quad bike driven by a seven year old girl on a public road should be arrested. We live in whacky times, growing whackier by the day, but the possibility that the girl's parents 'may face charges' simply beggars belief. Regardless of who was responsible for the crash, they have clearly shown both contempt for the law and a barely credible degree of crassitude in the care of their daughter.

Gruff is puzzled: A driver whose vehicle appears to have been hit by an infant driving on a public road is arrested, yet the parents of the infant, who are responsible for her being in charge of a motor vehicle illegally, may possibly face charges. How so?

Gruff thanks to Haddock, at Something Fishy, for the link.

If you discover the reason, perhaps it will also explain how the McCann's have so far got away with the criminal neglect of their daughter.

She's a Scouser, as is Mrs Blair, and he's a Jock, as are most of those controlling the Br*tish political establishment.

The McCanns are interesting only because they represent the triumph of connected mediocrity over 'totally fone bodo' merit.

Their daughter is dead and their circus is coming to a halt.

The first question on my mind was probably the same as ALMOST everyone else and the ones that the media seemed unable to ask.

Why was the girl DRIVING on the road in the first place ? At night ? In the dark ?

Thr media don't want to be seen to be doing their usual trial by media in this instance. Why not ? They seem to do it for just about everything else.

How will they report on the unfortunate young child killed by a dog in Yorkshire ?

Both will, presumably, have absolutely NOTHING to do with the parents or other RESPONSIBLE adult and be someone else's fault.

Best wishes to you for 2008.
