Hero or Zero?

[SamBally]

A farmer who used a forklift tractor to move a car parked on his land was today cleared of dangerous driving after telling the jury, 'An Englishman's home is his castle and my castle starts at that front gate'.

Fourth-generation hill farmer Robert Hooper, 57, insisted he had a lawful right to defend his property, with his barrister arguing on the basis of a 400-year-old precedent set by the legendary jurist Sir Edward Coke.

The video of the footage is particularly satisfying. Specially the bit where the offending scumbag gets clipped by the farmer's tractor.

Good on that jury!
The thing that surprised me, according to 'Look North', was that he's a tenant farmer. All those generations that worked the land and he doesn't own a blade of grass of it...

It is unlikely that Boris is my biological Father, being the age I am - but you never know!

Nods head in agreement.
