A victory for common sense
A rare event
Good for him

[ToraToraTora]

I have no idea why cases like this end up in court of course he can do what he did, common sense.

[ToraToraTora]

love the video what a prat the car bloke was!

[jno]

he might have been a bit lucky considering he knocked the man over with the forklift too, though it doesn't seem he was charged over that.

[davebro]

hilarious - best laugh of the week!

[mushroom25]

doubtless these visitors to the countryside belong to the growing band of the self-entitled, who won't tolerate any limitation on what they want to do, even if it means serious inconvenience to others.

[royfromaus]

Moron.

When he pushed the car on to the road he had no idea what was coming the other way.

[Stickybottle]

I suppose he had a much better view than you from his elevated position ?

My guess is the moron car driver who mooned at the police when they turned up to investigate

[burlyshirley]

So pleased that he won.

[JimF]

Apart from everything else, what sort of moron thinks that kicking a fork lift is going to stop it?

[jourdain2]

Fair enough! Common sense ruled.

[bednobs]

its a telehandler

[DTCwordfan]

Okay to the car but it did border on assault when the farmer turned his tractor on the bozo.....

[jno]

I thought the same, DTC, especially as he was no longer in his castle. He appeared to be assaulting (and battering) someone on the highway with heavy machinery. The view isn't clear, however; it may have been accidental.

[andy-hughes]

I think most of us can see the farmer's point of view, but it has to be risky, destroying someone's car outside your own front gate.

What if they come back at night and torch his farm?

It would be something of a pyric victory then.

//Mr Burns had been drinking with friends at Low Force waterfall, and having consumed up to seven bottles of lager he was intending to walk 52 miles back to South Tyneside.//

As ya do ... if you are a "traveller".

[Deskdiary]

You should know better than that Togo. ‘Travellers’ are a protected species - criticism of them is racism. Apparently.

They are lovely people, who never cause any harm or problems.

[Togo]

Get this snippet.

"" Mr Burns, who hab been drinking on the day at a beauty spot, was recorded on bodycam telling police, "Get him out of the house, and I'll open him up"!
He was not aprehended for making deadly threats or for the serious crime of breaking lockdown reggerlations. Mind you that happens up there by that Barnard castle place. The cops need their eyes tested.
