what about all the disabled people who are unfit to drive but are allowed to every single day.... sounds like picking on an MP for the sake of it to me.

Disabled people generally are not in the business of telling me how I should live. This @r5ehole is.

I'm closer to Bibio's PoV on this one - it does seem like it shouldn't be blown out of proportion. I think I'd be more worried if he wasn't arrested if there were suspicions after a serious accident like the one described. We should let process take its course.

Accidents happen, even to MPs. Of course, he's a cretin if he drunk-drove or similar and should be subjected to the same justice system as anyone else but expecting anyone to be perfect and impervious to making a mistake is setting the standard too high - it's unattainable.

As for the article, I'm still chuckling at the lamp post that's also "serves as a telegraph poll". High quality writing and proof-reading right there! (Can I criticise the journalism in this instance, because undoubtedly it's still way way better than my Welsh?)

I assume disabled people will have to be passed fit to drive somehow, depending on their disability, by the DVLA .
As far as the Welsh MP is concerned ,he is being dealt with by the police following the traffic incident ,and he may well have Covid ,so not really a story.

What's wrong with telegraph pole, don't a lot of people still refer to 'telegraph poles '?

Spelling of telegraph "poll".

I see, missed that.

Putting aside the seriousness of the political situation, this made me smile just now? If we don't laugh, we'd only cry!

(Didn't think it was so good it needed a new thread of its own - we are a bike forum after all - but it seemed closely enough related to the original subject matter of this one. Hope that's OK.)

Brilliant.
