Supreme Court president backs move away from traditional courtroom attire

There are few things more embarrassing and irritating than members of an elite attempting to make themselves look like ordinary plebs. It's just Patronising with a capital `P'. Don't they realise that in this drab and depressing world ordinary people - the very ones they are trying to pander to - actually enjoy and respect tradition? Yes, there's probably a large element of nostalgia, but so what? We need some consolations in life. By failing to appreciate this, and by failing to respect or even understand such plebeian views they are, ironically, simply emphasising the gulf between 'them' and 'us'. And since when were the intellectual meanderings of a Supreme Court judgment `accessible' even to most lawyers? So what possible point is there to this pathetic show of false modesty? There are precious few reminders left of what a brilliant country this was at one time, and these idiots are determined to erase even the last few traces. So to hell with them and the drab uniformity that they wish to impose on everything and everyone.
