I'm thinking that we (as a forthright and sober institution) should never misrepresent ourselves.Quote:

As of now we are a wee bit short of that distinction. :s mokin:

Max Mosley's magnificent performance before the Commons Committee yesterday was a shaft of sunlight in an otherwise dark and terrible universe.
Shaft of sunlight - you mean Max uses a light sabre these days? Oh dear, oh dear oh dear, oh dear oh deary me......... ;)Quote:

I think, judging by “most” the comments (on that link)
that those impassionate about F1 in the UK, appear to be quite sensible. ;)
This is starting to fall into the category of "Life is truly stranger than fiction"
C'est la vie
Magnificent performance is something straightly related to someone's ability performing a job because of possessing enough background, experience, that let him produce efficacious decision reasonably eligible, and altogether is not related to personal life or any other circumstance irrelevant.
You wouldn't be making a moral judgement on who can and cannot support Max now would you? ;) :pQuote:

Neither is Mc Cann!
Those who state he is have an agenda that goes beyond the limits of our said stated puspose! :)
As a member of the Sensible Seventeen , I will say that Max does move up in status by suffering these slings and arrows , championing the cause .
He's got a fair way to go before he gets to Lewis Hamilton MBE status , though .
As Mr Justice Eady said:Quote:

It is part and parcel of human dignity that one must take at least some responsibility for one's own actions."
The operative words you quoted from Justice Eady's statement are:Quote:

The statement is speculative and weakly opinionated, let alone an actual condemnation.
BTW in case you have forgotten the stated position of The Sensibles
It is in our opinion Max should not have to leave his job over this intrusion into his personal life, and its ramifications.
After a lot of puritanical types, started whining about Max pursuing this egregious and unsolicited intrusion into his life to its logical end,
and were very put off that he wouldn't let it go.
I brought to the attention of this forum that it just might be a rather noble pursuit by him.
That is a personal opinion I can't speak for the rest of our consortium,
as that was not until recently revealed, it and was a stated belief of the group.
In closing I want to reiterate we never claimed Max was a hero,
a champion, or a role model, and certainly not the greatest living Englishman!
