Insane Lawyer

[Grumfutock]

I never want this fruit loop to represent or defend me.

In the words of the eminent Mr T "Shut up, fool!"

[Mr Gearchange]

The Judge did a beautifully eloquent job of tearing him a new asshole.

That really was a joy to read.

[Grumfutock]

Yes I thought so to. He does sound like he has lost the plot though.

[Grumfutock]

A bit like making Boris Johnson an MP so he can launch a leadership challenge and maybe become PM?

On the upside at least politics will become entertaining.

[smegmore]

There's a few of them about........

[Mr Daytona]

Just read some other stories relating to this particular individual - managed to play the race, disability and class card all in one fell swoop. Only surprised he didn't go for the clean sweep and bring in his sexual orientation as well.

And as for wearing ribbons from the St John Ambulance Service - bet he has his 10, 25 and 50 metre swimming badges sown into his Calvin Klines.

[TheSnitch]

His LinkedIn profile is prety interesting

http://uk.linkedin.com/in/alanblacker

''Dr. The Rt. Hon. The Lord Harley of Counsel KStJ. DPhil.''

Or tt, as he is known to his friends.

[TheSnitch]

He describes himself on the website of the charity he founded as a ''senior human rights lawyer''

Hilarious.

[Mr Daytona]

TheSnitch - you really think this man has friends ? Reminds me of comic book guy from The Simpsons !!

[Grumfutock]

So let me get this right, he is 42 and according to his Linkedln he is a:

Dr.
The Rt. Hon.
Lord
clinical forensic psychiatry
MA(Hons)
MA(Hons)(Inc.ED.&SEN.)
LLB(DHons)
BA(Hons)
PGDL PGDLP FMLST(Psych)
Solicitor Advocate of the Supreme Court
Psychoanalytical Psychologist

And a st load of other letters? He has been a busy boy!

A very quick google search brings up some fun reading. I assume the court actually checked to make sure he is a lawyer?

Just to clarify: this is a judge telling a lawyer how to dress?

Now I'm no dedicated follower of fashion but I know who to ask if I want to check that I'm smart yet stylish, and that's not a judge.

I've seen them in their finery, parading along the road looking like demented parrots on LSD, and restrained is not the first word that springs to mind. Indeed, this judge used the word vulgarity in his criticism and I would suggest that out of the two, an embroidered badge on a black gown ain't even in the running.

Now this is a glass house:



Even the lackey is wearing white gloves.

Derek,

Did you have your boy scout badges embroidered on your uniform to impress the bad guys? Or just stick to the pointy hat

[anonymous-user]

I am not sure if the technical term for this bloke is fruitloop or wingnut.

I suppose the ground I'm on is a bit dodgey here as I was in the City police and all our badges, button, stripes, letters and numbers were gold coloured. I also had a red and white duty band on my sleeve. But not vulgar I would suggest. I was never of high enough rank to have any embroidery. Not like Winsor for instance, with doilies on most extremities (probably all, as he seems the type to get a bit of wood when wearing a uniform).

You know, I find it very hard to feel sorry for someone who's been convicted of death by dangerous driving.

But this comes close. The defendant got stitched up a bit when he chose that guy, didn't he?

Sometimes clients get the lawyers they deserve (and vice versa).

"doilies on most extremities". Reminds me of the new romantics

I do feel that if I were to be hauled up before a judge I'd prefer them to look judge like rather than greengrocer like. Gravitas, and all that.

Talk about Bad Karma. I don't know what I ever did to deserve John Major.
