Jolyon Maugham lets slip

There are screenshots up-thread Tinsel - on that occasion the Crazed Kimono-Killer was thwarted by Reynard making a quick escape, unencumbered by being caught in netting. (Wondering now if that was constructed out of poor Claire's old fish-nets???)

His tweets from November 2019 might shine a light on your theory.
I'd like to know what these say but am too lazy to plough back through his tweets. Can anybody enlighten me?

I'm still impressed by the unintended (?) "slip" pun when it comes to the lawyer's chosen animal killing attire.

Apologies for mangled syntax- not had coffee!

How nice that in these uncertain times this once divided nation can come together to express their shared lack of respect for Kimono Jo.

Well my predictions were wrong unprecedented lack of tweeting

I got an email from him today - a standard one to the circulation list for the Good Law Project:

goodlawproject.org

That is one good thing that he's doing.

I know. So much tripe. Mid November.

Thanks devreaux but I git bored after the first dozen tweets.

It may have already been said but surely there is a high likelihood that the close friend that JC has who is transitioning is closer to home than he admits?

His wife is a comms professional. I imagine she advised an extended period of silence before rehabilitation via a third party.

I reckon another type of professional has advised him to take another type of rehabilitation...

Twits shouldn't tweet. 👍😂

ooh, just turned the page and he's got another piece in "Aesop's Fables" "And the moral of the story is that twits shouldn't tweet". Complete with cartoon. I think that's it for this edition.

oh dear. He's been picked up in Private Eye. ..."Maugham has a history of running with the fox and hunting with the hounds He's got an entire column to himself.

It’s almost too perfect Mole - he really is quite the characatur

*leafing - not leading.

Mole leading through a "What's on" in Oxford magazine, December edition I noted that there is a "comedy" all about "relations" with animals. Seems like it is becoming, as the author says, "Pretty prevalent".

I am catching up after a couple of weeks break and missed the whole Hammer Horror scene of Squire Jolyon, dressed in his wife's kimono, dementedly clubbing a fox to death with a baseball bat.

A QC . . . are they the ones that wear wigs and silk?

"Cartoon: Cameras in Court"

www.englishblog.com/2011/09/cartoon-cameras-in-court.html

"This cartoon by Mac from The Daily Mail relates to the announcement by Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke that the ban on filming in courts will be overturned to improve public understanding of the justice system.

A judge is shown entering court. He opens his robe to reveal that he is wearing a bra, suspenders and fishnet stockings. An ad on the lining of his robe reads : "Lingerie by Isobella". A lawyer comments, "I believe his wife owns a boutique in the High Street".

EXPLANATION
The joke is that the judge is advertising his wife's boutique on TV (a sign reads 'this court is now being televised'). But the cartoon also plays on the stereotype of the cross-dressing judge.

What's that, Sooty? . . . Do any of the girls and boys know why there is a stereotype of a cross-dressing judge?? . . . What's that, Sooty? You're "Asking for a friend"?? . . .Oh! You really are asking for a friend! Your little orphan friend Cubby . . .

Ironically, not knowing until I came across this thread that Squire Jolyon had been clubbing foxes to death while dressed in Ladies Lingerie, the reason I was looking for his name in the topics was also related to (ahem!) "relations with animals". It just seemed in extraordinarily poor taste at the time and yet another lapse of judgement that just before Xmas he retweeted this "joke":

"Got some sad news today. After 7 years of medical training, my good friend has been struck off after 1 minor indiscretion. He slept with 1 of his patients & now can no longer work in the job he loves. What a waste of time, training&money. A genuinely nice guy, and a brilliant vet."

What's that, Sooty? You thought Squire Jolyon was a friend to all little animals? . . . Sorry - I must have misheard, I thought at first that you said he was sick as f&ck!!

Best not to include a photo shoot with cute fluffy animals though.
