    Has anyone tried to register an S-class in the UK?

    Until the government approve the S class for use in the UK with a distinct classification, I think this is inevitable. Insurance companies won't want to step outside the list of approved vehicles. The fact that alterations have to be made for registration to be achieved makes matters worse...

The alternative of typing out the exclusion of every other possibility of what one is posting would render forums such as this unusable. Repeating your original...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I did not post that in terms of those fundamental rights. They are universal. There's a vast range of differential treatments that can be applied to others, which for various reasons might be justified. That can be true for our European neighbours. Third of September 1939 for example. .

    Oppression, mental or physical cruelty, classification of other humans as inferior are wrong. As cultural norms they remain wrong. As religious beliefs they remain wrong. They always have been recognised as such by the enlightened and always will be. .

    Well, she's ten years away from that age, giving plenty of time for the policy to produce results and time to rescind it before the ten years was up. Seriously, such a policy has often been predicted in literature and film and could well be a part of the future. Not new either, the Inuit...
