        Thank you for your kind words. My daughter was hit head on by a speeding Chinese Takeaway driver and ended up being Airlifted to QMC in Nottingham. The crash has left her disabled and in constant pain, the driver walked away and was given a two year ban and fined £295! 😡

        British justice is simply a matter of cost.

        Sincerely hope that #Beckham is never considered for any further honours. He may have ‘won’ this case but he will have lost the goodwill of thousands . Should have taken his punishment

        So if he had run over a child at 59 mph in a 40 zone would that child have died a day too early or a day too late. Guilty guilty guilty. Travesty #DavidBeckham #bbc #bbcnews

        Perhaps @DavidBeckhamOfc might donate £100k to a charity for children killed by speeding idiots doing almost 60mph in a 40mph zone. Not the first time he and other cretin celebs have got off speeding using high priced lawyers not available to us mere mortals

        Love how all of these multi millionaires can get away with breaking the law and avoiding fines, despite having more than enough money to pay any fine without ever noticing. Clearly they are above the law and everyone else.

        Wow. Its the police and royal mail not doing their jobs properly. This law applies to everyone regardless of wealth. Conversely do you think the wealthy should be subject to prosecution outwith the same law as everyone else.

        Wouldn't have thought the letter would have been recorded. So who knows when it was received. Smoke and mirrors
