Range Rover drivers are the worst ever!

Is it safe to assume that if you come across such a right lane hogger it is permissible to just follow behind in the same lane?
If you follow a right lane hogger for a little while then soon enough the entertainment will begin as other frustrated but faster right lane hoggers arrive and inevitably they are not content to follow and after a period of aggressive tailgating they often to want to go for the undertake but usually at the most aggressive and most dangerous moment. If they undertake past me then I'm more than happy to let them slot in so that I can watch the next instalment. Only my superior driving skills prevent carnage on the roads.

Don't tell me let me guess its a white 1.6 tdi audi that undertakes ??? or maybe a black 316 BMW!!!
Whereas this is in complete opposition to my own recent experience here in sunny Sussex, where the worst outside lane hoggers tend to be women in small 1.0-ish hatchbacks such as Ka, Picantos and Ups.
They happily sit in L2 of a dual carriageway and won't move over to the clear inside lane and then won't go above 60.
But then, I only have evidence of this from my confirmation bias that because I've seen it a couple of times, I now specifically note in my head another time I see it and therefore am able to go 'it's always women in 1.0ish small hatchbacks...'

Not the M25. The M3 today.
It is not fine to sit in lane three whilst not overtaking. Read your Highway Code.
Were there truly no cars in the other lanes? Obviously yes that is a bit selfish if true. But come on, you are the one preaching the Highwaycode, where you speeding or sticking to 70mph It is not fine to sit in lane three whilst not overtaking. Read your Highway Code.

And yet, and yet... as a Range Rover driver I seem to spend most of my motorway driving stuck behind people in little cars sitting in the outside lane who apparently can't see even a ruddy big Range Rover coming up behind them. 
Perhaps the OP was behind you and couldn't see the little car hidden from view by your RR?

"People in little cars", typical RR driver attitude, I agree with OP 100%, always driven by some chavvy wannabe drug dealing 40 something balding fat git with gold chains, often with a crusty sun bed tanned bleached blonde gob s

I would agree that 'premium' marques do appear to be less considerate in my experience.
Not only your experience, it's a fact: http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/12/the-ric...
