Judge and defendant exchange insults in court - yes, it's wrong, wrong, wrong but...

[SwedishEdith]

... I can see how she must have just snapped.

Story here

"John Hennigan, 50, who had breached the order by using racist language towards a black woman and her two children told Chelmsford crown court judge Patricia Lynch QC that she was “a bit of a cunt”. And Judge Lynch replied: “You are a bit of a cunt yourself.”

When Hennigan screamed back “Go fuck yourself”, the judge replied: “You too.” He reportedly also shouted “Sieg Heil” – a pro-Hitler chant used in Nazi Germany – and banged the glass panel of the dock as he was jailed for 18 months."

A complaint has been made against her now.

Shouldn't have lowered herself imo

I can't believe anyone would complain about this!

Cunt is far too good to describe this vile individual.

I think she is wonderful.

I think she's a MNer

Not a mumsnetter or she'd have told him to fuck of to the far side of fuck and when he got there fuck off some more.
Possibly.

Shouldn't have lowered herself imo

I'm sure she knows that. I can see the scene in the tv drama already - Helen Mirren or Maxine Peake having a solitar scotch at home.

I bet the folk complaining weren't even there they'll have been suitably outraged reading about it.

Talking to him in a language he understood Good on her

I can't believe how many times he violated his ASBO before getting a custodial sentence.

Loving the judges comment though

I think she's brilliant. He's a vile creature, why should anyone have to pussyfoot around him because of their status? Sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade!

I can't believe anyone found the time or inclination to actually make a complaint about this. I suggest taking that time and energy and actually do something useful instead.

Love it good for her.

She'll have got a standing ovation in chambers.
