Most of you will know that Lord Maginnis of Drumglass, (also known simply as Ken Maginnis) a Northern Ireland politician who wasn't happy with the Peace Agreement up there and in the CY context a great, great supporter of Partition and "trnc"... who loves the Occupied Areas so much he seems, in circumstances that are not clear to me, to have acquired a property up there.
Well, he has been convicted of an incident of what is called Road Rage and which some of us will know better as Common Assault by a Court in Northern Ireland.
He's got away with a £200 fine and ordered to pay compensation to his victim, a youngster of 21.
He had tried to argue in the GB Parliament that the assault was what he called "a non-offence". Some of us will think that an assault is an assault and not some kind of Peace Operation.

Ο φιλότουρκος, με σπίτι στο κατεχόμενο Καζάφανι, Βορειοϊρλανδός λόρδος Μαγκίνις (Lord Maginnis of Drumglass), βρέθηκε ενώπιον της Δικαιοσύνης και καταδικάστηκε στη Βόρειο Ιρλανδία, για εξύβριση και επίθεση (πέρσι το καλοκαίρι) οδηγού και τρομοκράτησή του. Ο δικαστής Τζον Μίχαν (John Meehan), δικαστηρίου της Βορείου Ιρλανδίας, είπε ότι το υβρεολόγιο του λόρδου Μαγκίνις άφησε το θύμα, κ. Κιθ Κερκ (Keith Kirk) και την αδελφή του, που ήταν συνεπιβάτης, κατατρομαγμένους. Ο δικαστής επέβαλε ποινή £200 στον λόρδο Μαγκίνις και τον διέταξε, επίσης, να πληρώσει αποζημίωση στον κ. Κερκ.
