So the music was loud then?

I know the incident well, the accusation came from another driver, in fact at the time I understand he was the only Asian driver in Melton. He complained about the music which was being broadcast on the radio and at least one of the drivers were accused of laughing or making fun of a lady wearing a yashmak alighting from the Railway station.

It would appear the deal came down to an appearance in the magistrates court or two weeks suspension and the rehab course.

Perhaps they didn't want to test the will of the court because if they had and were found guilty then I think they were looking at possible revocation.

Perhaps....but effectively and whether they like it or not...they have been accused of being racist....I dont think I'd have accepted a two week ban and course.

And further to that, as you are probably thinking the same....they are licensed on the basis they are fit and proper...two weeks rehab?

I think its a tough one to call and unless you are in their shoes you wouldn't really know all the facts. One would hope that they made the right decision but by accepting the punishment as you say they have basically admitted their guilt, which will no doubt count against them in any future incident? Considering they have some age about them they may have decided to take the easiest way out?

ill give you the rhodesia bit but dont listen to the propaganda georgia are the aggressors in that little spat they are americas new bitch but they coc ked up by invading south ossetia before they were made members of nato
so that is why we never helped georgia

wanna bet georgia now becomes the 52nd usa state?, mind you, fair play, georgia has sent troops to help in iraq...the french havent!

btw, there may not be any oil reserves in georgia, but there is the new oil pipeline which the russians bombed


RUSTAVI, Georgia — Russian jets targeted a key oil pipeline in Georgia yesterday with more than 50 missiles in a raid that raised fears that the conflict would tighten Moscow's stranglehold on Europe's energy supplies.

Deep craters pockmarked the landscape south of the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, in a Y-shaped pattern straddling the British-operated pipeline. The attack left two deep holes less than 100 yards either side of a pressure vent on the pipeline. Shrapnel of highly engineered munitions littered the area, but there was no visible damage to the pipeline.

Its vulnerability was summed up by a yellow hazard sign next to the vent warning against digging in the area. Anyone venturing on to the site is warned against smoking.

Local police recorded 51 strikes. "I have no doubt they wanted to target the pipeline, there is nothing else here," a policeman who witnessed the attack, Giorgi Abrahamisvili, said. "It was terribly intense, the smell of cordite spread everywhere. I had to abandon my car and hide in a ditch but the jets weren't interested in other targets."

BP operates the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, which transports 1% of the world's oil needs, or one million barrels a day from Azerbaijan to the Mediterranean. A spokesman played down the impact of the strike, pointing out that pumping was suspended last week because of a terrorist attack in Turkey. "At the moment the pipeline is not running at any capacity, because there was a fire," the spokesman said.

Georgia is a crucial link in a three-country energy corridor, vital to western Europe's oil and gas supply. The pounds $3.8 billion pipeline is the only major conduit for Central Asian resources not under Russian control.

I don't think anyone's political views should have an influence on their fitness to be licensed unless they are so radical it involves commiting suicide with POB.

It was only the other year myself and Captain Cab were apparently BNP members if a certain clown from the GMB were to be believed.

But that's why he's been gagged by the Unions hierarchy.

"Cry 'God for Harry, England and Saint George!'" King Henry V's rallying cry does not go over very well in modern, multicultural England. Even less acceptable is Saint George's flag, a red cross quartering a white background, which was carried prominently into battle by the Crusaders of 900 years ago in their attempts to recover the Holy Land from ...





The cross of Saint George was later taken up as the national flag of England, and is commonly flown on the saint's name day, April 23. Such grossly insensitive displays must of course be stamped out. That, at any rate, is the opinion of Ms. Anne Owers, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons.

Carrying out her inspectorial duties at Wakefield Prison in Yorkshire, Ms. Owers was distressed to see corrections officers wearing flag-of-Saint-George tiepins in support of a cancer charity.

"Staff should not wear unauthorized pins," barked Ms. Owers in her report, as they offer "clear scope for misinterpretation." Heaven forfend that the cringing, groveling, emasculated tenants of Tony Blair's England be "misinterpreted" as having any cultural connection whatsoever to the men who fought at Harfleur and Agincourt, Acre and Jerusalem!

William Shakespeare firmly placed St George within the national conscience in his play Henry V in which the English troops are rallied with the cry "for God for Harry, England and St George" and Edmund Spenser included St. George (Redcross Knight) as a central figure in his epic poem The Faerie Queen.
