Man claims to be the Earl of Law; leads police on 140 kilometre chase through New South Wales; represents self in subsequent court appearance:

The Royal roadrunner, 34-year-old South Australian man Paul Henry Johnson, is alleged to have clocked speeds up to 143 km/h along the Pacific Highway after leaving a South Grafton petrol station without paying for fuel.

Handcuffed and wearing surfer-style board shorts and a T-shirt, Johnson, who claims his true title is the Earl of Law, yesterday chose to represent himself in Ballina Court.

“I am of a higher intelligence than you,” Johnson told Magistrate Pogson. “You probably are,” Magistrate Pogson quipped back. “It wouldn’t take much.”

The Earl of Law is currently undergoing tests in a Hospital of Crazy.

    1. Even after his car was spiked, he tried to continue his escape, limping along with a flat and eventually shredded front tyre for another 5km to the Big Prawn.

      The Prawn of Big! How I love thee, Ballina.

    1. I don’t want to sound unimpressed, but is 143 Km per hour much over the speed limit?

    1. Off Topic, sorry.

      Did you see the anti-cartoon protest in Auckland? The Muzzies were heckled by a lone protester who was hauled away by the cops (of course). Turns out he was a Maori, he shouted at the 800, mainly Pakistani, protesters;

      “This is our land and we’ve had enough of you lot”

      Hmmm, native indigenous types versus head choppers, now which side dya think the progressives are going to come down on this row?

    1. Oh sure, you can laugh now. But you won’t be laughing when your post-apocalypse petrol supplies are running low and you’ve got no one to fool the local gangs into chasing a tanker truck that’s filled with sand while the good guys get away with what’s left of the fuel hidden in the cars. All because you locked up your only hope.

      Quite the politically-correct conundrum, innit?

      GEE how have the mighty fallen!
      lets see now the lyrics….

      Earl,Earl,Earl,EARL OF LAW
      As I walk through this world
      Nothing can stop the earl of Law
      And you, you are my girl
      and no one can hurt you or make you sore…

      Right?

    1. The good-humoured comment from the magistrate puts me in mind of one exchange between an accused and Judge Robert Dnieper in the Ontario provincial courts many years ago:

      Accused: “You f***ing c***s**ker!”
      Dnieper: “That’s the trouble nowadays. People just can’t keep a secret.”
