    Default Hear no evil SEE no evil

    As in the Gene Wilder/Richard Prior film. The one where Wilder drives the car, even though he's blind. Well talk about life imitating art.....

    A blind man, who lost his eyes in a bomb blast, has been convicted of dangerous driving after police spotted his car on the wrong side of the road.
    and

    Pc Edge said: "I asked him if he could see me. He removed the dark-coloured sunglasses he was wearing and I could clearly see he was blind as he had no eyes."
    Blind man driving!

    Ruth is surely stranger than Richard....

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    The astonishing thing is:

    The magistrate appears to believe he may be ready to drive again in three years time - just needs a bit of extra training!!

    (My guess is that Mr Aziz may struggle at the first testing hurdle - reading a number plate from 30 metres )

    It's all those invisible magic dwarfs whispering to them that's the problem.

    Daft, the Magistrate is following procedure without thinking, yet more proof that part-time Lay Justices are hopeless.
