Max in Parliament

[flemke]

Max has often said that he had wanted to go into politics. It seems that yesterday he finally made it to Parliament, at least in a speech made there by Michael Gove:

...
Of course, some hon. Members may have been in good spirits yesterday for reasons other than the formal anniversary of the children’s plan. They may have been listening to the Prime Minister taking pride in his global rescue plan. Well, we now know what the man in charge of Europe’s biggest economy thinks of that. The Prime Minister may believe, in his more modest moments, that he is Franklin D. Roosevelt, but the truth is that he is closer to a political Max Mosley: he thinks he is king of the world and he has clearly got money to burn, but all people remember is that he got a terrific spanking in German. [Interruption.] Thank you.

This is Max Rufus' legacy to Formula 1: to be a joke. Thanks for that, Max.

His reputation is growing all the time, and been mentioned in many contexts - not sure if this is a new high or low!

Great find.

By confessing to it in court it has become completely legal to joke about. And it's great

You can joke about anything you like in Parliament without fear of writs - Parliamentary Privilege.

But it's not just in Parliament - it's anywhere because he's now confessed to it. On Top Gear, or in any media outlet, ironically the very place where it was first exposed.

Hey - heres a terrible thought.

MM might one day be knighted for services to motor sport.

My vote would be for Flemke to wield the sword at the investiture

If it ever happens - I think I'll leave Britain for ever.. as it will no longer be Great.

Can't knight Max as his dad had his Barontcy taken away form him surely? Tricky consitutional situation I reckon. So at least we can be spared that.
