No. the bottom line is he is a person judged by stupid unthinking and unreasonable people to be guilty of the same offence as dozens of others were on that same day and scores more since that night. Due to the enormous lack of perspective most of you, have, by and large, lost sight of the fact that many before and after him will commit the same offence without your self righteous indignation being in evidence. Simple reason will be this; those other people will be just as guilty with in a lot of cases a far worse driving history but you won't care about them, no your beloved sporting idol will fail and you'll in your immature self indulgent ways will find a fault, a fault you won't even consider for a second finding in other, more mundane people.
You don't pour over the papers each day bemoaning the high readings of every citizen who is charged, hell you don't even notice them because what happened to Alfie happens everyday but no, will you see it for what it is ? no chance. For Alfie it will be something different because he holds a job which on average sees him on TV on a once a week basis. When he trots out the water and instructions.
The offence is not the problem with you lot, no, it's because you personally feel let down. You personally have been betrayed. That's because you are sad because someone you respected and held in high esteem has proven fallible and by extension you feel wronged and also upset because your judgement, your estimation was wrong. You look stupid and incorrect because you were wrong about Alfie.
That's what happens when you make idols of frail fellow human beings. You did it with Tiger Woods you're doing it again with Alfie and you'll keep doing it right up until the day when you actually grow up. Then, and only then will you be complete....some of you will never get there...you'll never be smart enough to understand..
more honoured in the breach than the observance...
