The Daily Mail called Lady Hale an ‘ex-barmaid’ – only 9 replies you need

It’s time honoured tradition for the Daily Mail to dig up everything it can about people with whom it disagrees. In particular if those people are judges.

You might remember the, er, dirt it dished on the Scottish judges who ruled Boris Johnson’s prorogation to be unlawful.

Daily Mail has found some proper dirt on the Scottish judges who ruled prorogation to be unlawful. It turns out one has a “passion for France.” Another is a “jazz lover” who predicted Brexit would be “an onerous task.” Scandalous stuff pic.twitter.com/LnKfbgJKRo

Now it’s turned its laser beam eyes to Supreme Court president Lady Hale after she and her fellow judges also ruled that Johnson had acted outside of the law.

And this is what it came up with, as highlighted by @DMReporter.

And it’s the ‘ex-barmaid’ bit that caught people’s attention. Here are the only 9 replies you need.

Ex-barmaids of the world unite and take over, I say. You learn a lot about dealing with men with an overinflated opinion of themselves from being a barmaid… https://t.co/P10EQeHysE

Would they have said ex bar-man if the president of the SC was a man And had worked in a bar? No. Just plain old misogyny and ignorance.

I briefly worked as a cleaner at my own school after hours as a teenager.

I hope that one day I annoy the DM enough for them to write "Ex-janitor in a monkey print dress* does something outrageous!"

Be more Lady Hale
