Lord Justice Thorpe
This is Lord Justice Thorpe who, it has been revealed, experiences time at a different rate to us.
Let me explain.
He was recently publicly reprimanded for receiving a driving ban and not informing judicial authorities, see HERE
But this disrespect for the judicial system, which none of us would get away with isn’t the issue.
The amazing thing is that the 6 month (around 180 days) ban anyone else would have got, and he was due, was reduced by District Judge Daphne Wickham to 56 days because she was ” prepared to concede that the six months would be a long time for this defendant to be disqualified”.
So there you have it, 6 months is a long time for a judge so they couldn’t possibly be expected not to drive for that long – as against the rest of us to whom 6 months without a licence would obviously not be a problem.
The reason given was that he had to drive to his farm to herd and feed his cattle. Obviously being a senior judge he couldn’t afford to pay someone to do that.
Now I used to think that 6 months was the same length of time for everyone but obviously I was wrong.
As Lord Justice Thorpe is 73 of our years old, he must be over a hundred in his years – maybe it’s time the old fool resigned.
Equality in English Law – coming to a courtroom near you no time soon!

Agreed that Justice Thorpe was treated much too leniently. In fact as he is a Judge he should know better, he should have got ,more of a driving ban longer than the than anyone else.
But I must object to someone being called and old fool because he is in his 70s, He is just an idiot.
