The chill waters of austerity are lapping around the ankles of the judiciary — and they’re not happy. As free Sky TV is axed from the 32 grace-and-favour pads occupied by £135,000-per-annum circuit judges, one whinges to The Times (£) that their free booze and flowers could be next!
“We have had a pay freeze reducing our pay and now this petty imposition by Grayling, again without any consultation. It is the thin end of the wedge — next will be our cars, drinks entertaining and flowers. We must resist this at all costs.”
Grab your wigs and man the barricades lads
We are many,They are few
