Have to admit, I haven't been actively trying to gain any information
for a while, just enjoying the peace. Only trouble is, 'time' on
remand will come off his final sentence and I'm led to believe that
it's a lot more cushy whilst on remand...

I'm pretty sure 'that site' will be updated with the date of the trial
when it's known, though :)

I also have a little Land Rover site biased toward

At the same time asking for a separate license classification for
sportscars. Might as well get the attention of others while at it. We
could all end up in Smart Cars.

Anyone put one onto a Range Rover chassis yet?

The Op was relevant as it related to 4x4's. I don't give **** about your
political views, I just don't want to read them on this particular
newsgroup.

So why bother reading and responding to what is obviously, as it's noted in
the subject line, an overtly politically biased thread ? Politics and
peoples personal views are a damn certainty to be aired, otherwise there'd
be no friggin' thread at all.

I agree with Mother, you're a clueless ****wit .. ;)

Because what politician think about 4x4's is relevant to this group.
health service, education, Iraq and such like isn't. Is that too
complicated for you?

While your point has some merit, it's also that same ideal that colours
anothers viewpoint of what a politician does, is and has affected people, so
'extra' comments are bound to crop up.

Learn to live with them, Usenet will be a much nicer place for you .. ;)

If you think everyone should stay rigidly to the topic on discussion then
setup your own moderated newsgroup and **** off.

Oooh... I'm hurt. Seldom have I been the focus of such erudite and
thoughtful constructive criticism. Rarely do I find such a match. I
must concede to being beaten in colossal and monumental terms by
someone so obviously superior to my humbled self.

And so you come inevitably to the contradiction in your argument. I
don't expect you to see it, but it really is too tiresome to explain
everything to such an intellectual pigmy.
