Jolyon Maugham lets slip

[EwwSprouts]

In an attempt to show both sides of the GC / self-ID can be vile he takes offence at "Why is it so important to you that men are able to access our facilities? Is it personal?". Why? Because he says such a suggestion is equivalent to calling him a "pervert". So there you have it, agreement that men who want to be in female toilets tend to have a dubious sexual motivation.

God, that's horrible Willis

Am wondering if dear Joly wants to be a judge at some point?

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

I doubt he'd take any notice of his wife. I expect a man told him.

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

I would guess his wife’s advice depends on how annoyed she is about his constantly nicking her kimono to wield his baseball bat in...

Imagine how frightened the fox must have been. Imagine the noise and the blood spatter. Imagine its eyes.

And he thought it was a joke.

If it was a dog he’d be a pariah. But the act, the violence and the fear, the blood, was no different from kicking a dog to death.

Are people who batter animals to death, in our collective experience, nice, good people? People we want to be around? Or are they seriously frightening and unpleasant?

I’d like to know who instructs Jolyon (in his capacity as a barrister) and ask them if they’re happy to be represented in court by someone who batters animals to death and jokes about it.

I agree, Knewmee - but I would say this has made him a pariah tbh - falling foul of animal-lover-twitter is no joke, he has some supporters, but generally has been vilified. Rightly so.

Day 10 and still no tweets....I think we should make this thread the Jolyon tweet watch thread.

@theflushedzebra I suppose Mumsnet doesn't allow betting. We need a wager on how long it will be... I'm impressed it seems to have lasted longer than most New Year resolutions so far. I give it another couple of days, he's probably back to work tomorrow and will be cheered and emboldened by a few back slaps from his mates. If Claire has confiscated the phone she'll probably have to give it back as work beckons.

(Joke mnhq, no gambling activities here)

I think mid week, he'll be busy first couple days getting into the swing of things by Wednesday he'll be bored.

I suspect he's hired professionals to 'clean up' his image. They'll be some positive news soon.

What's the betting he'll use how mean us disobedient women are in some sense as his way back into social media?

I had to do it m'lud. Look what the bad fox did. I have evidence in my defence.

I thought I'd take a look at JMs Wikipedia entry, it's been set so only administrators can change, protection expires today

How does that work then @JolyonsChickensAreBigots ?
Can he renew the protection (if he realises it has expired)? Do subjects set the protections themselves?

I don't know FannyCann the entry mentions foxgate but was fairly innocuous so I had a look at the edit history and noticed this protection on it. Ive never seen that before but it may be fairly commonplace

I'm currently amusing myself with imagining his first tweet back on the hellsite as his eadorsement for Labour leader. I imagine him that clueless.

I think whoever he's hired to sort his reputation will do the following

• he'll announce a significant charity involvement, lots of press about this, rep mgmt company will have paid to get positive coverage
• they'll use his 'right to be forgotten' to get the negative new reports removed from google results
• They'll have planted a load of positive hits to be the top hits when you google his name
• this will include a glossy new 'personal' website

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

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!!

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".

*leafing - not leading.

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

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.

Mole

Catsnoozing Thing is in 6 months you can see him touting that as a badge of honour.
