Well, I think the Jury are coming across with only one verdict, (to be honest perhaps he's lucky hang, drawing, & Quartering have been Abolished), I have to admit, I'm with the majority so far as 'our' roads are concerned.
Shouldn't it be a case of, he is banned from roads over here, because he was so stupid?
But cutting across a piece of Desert or whatever, his chances of keeping a No Claims Bonus, are remote to say the least?
Stupidity whilst on leave doesn't stop him being a good Soldier while he fights for his and his mates lives, and our Government's need for him to be, 'There', Wherever there happens to be Politically Correct?.
Leave the lad alone, he suffers more than most of us can consider for crying out loud, they even have to wear civvies in their own Country to prevent molestation, (Now that has to be wrong),
If no-one else says it, I will 'Aye' up lad, you was a pillock, but I'm proud of you for being there for me and mine.
