Indeed, he "managed to find his way" into being a QC with chambers in
Temple Gardens and a busy practice in the Court of Appeal.

I venture to suggest that is a slightly greater achievement than your
managing to find your way into being a troll on a newsgroup. The bar is
set somewhat higher there.

He sounds like an ideal candidate to become a High Court Judge. Stupid
and out of touch with real life!

I like the new name you've chosen to sign off with. Most appropriate if
a bit lengthy for everyday use. Suggest you abbreviate it to just the
first word.

So, you have just described as "stupid" someone with a degree in law,
who received an award as a law student and a scholarship to study for
the Bar, and is a Queen's Counsel with a busy practice in the High Court
and the Appeal Court.

Are you really sure you wanted to do that? And can afford the potential
consequences of doing so?

Mind you, I suppose your own history of abject stupidity here would
likely mean that any suit would be dismissed; a libel probably can't be
considered injurious if it comes from someone with no credibility such
as yourself.

A driving licence is a licence to kill.

I wonder why? could it be that he is an arsehole, especially while riding
his bike?

I hadn't realised that the UK had made being an arsehole a capital offence.

UK no longer has capital offences.
threats to kill, made in the heat of the moment are disregarded legally in
any case, which is why I thought that barrister was being such a prat.

As well as Mrcheerful being unaware of that, so, too, is Doug.
Remember Mr Magdi of Hove who opened his car door into the path of
some cyclists, and was decked by one of them for his trouble? Doug, of
course, was incapable of condemning this act of violence. Yes, he may
have been a bit stupid not to have observed better, but did he deserve
to die for this act? The poor chap died last week, and the charges
against the cyclist who did this have now been changed to
manslaughter: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-11962870.

If only they would take the same approach when a motorist thinks they'll
have a bit of fun by scaring or cutting up a cyclist and it goes wrong.

At least you are making progress in recognising facts.
