Man loses license for driving Barbie toy while drunk

More news from the place that used to be Great Britain. Never mind all the knife crime, there are real criminals on the loose:
Paul Hutton, 40, is regretting his impromptu roadtrip after he was arrested for drink-driving when he tried to take the battery- operated child's toy to a friend's house.
Thank goodness this menace to society has been properly dealt with by Her Majesty's Courts.

Some folks over here in the Colonies like to tell us we need to be more like Europe. This is Exhibit # 4,781 for the proposition that maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea. Failure to prioritize intelligently? It's how the gubmint rolls ...

Amazing that tourism is considered a human right but drunken transporation is not.

The whole situation in England is pretty ridiculous. The most ridiculous part is how blind everyone is.

Hey, he could have run over and killed a...a...a bug! Yes, a bug, while driving drunk in that kid's toy! Won't someone think of the beetles?

I have sadly experienced the same injustice while enjoying a little libation when cruising the interstate in my GI Joe (ready to rumble) Jeep.

Though I will admit in the spirit of full disclosure that even after significant alterations and while adding a few extra long life AA batteries to the locomotive drive system. I still can only achieve around 7 MPH top end.

It's getting so a guy can't even have a good time in this over reaching Nanny State anymore.

What's next I must ask, Universal Health Care?

To get out of this, All he had to say was he was a muslim, and he was "racing" home to abuse his wife. The bobbies would have given him an escort and a cheery "tally ho", when they arrived at his home.
