Judge not, for ye shall be judged

EVEN the imaginations of those revered masters of comic opera, Gilbert and Sullivan, could not have devised a more topsy-turvy world than the august, 19th century, Courts of Justice in the Strand yesterday.

True, we didn’t have a bewigged Lord Chancellor from Iolanthe trilling away that “the law is the true embodiment, of everything that’s excellent.”

But we did have some of the Kop standing in the precincts singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” That’s normally a showstopper rather than an overture but Liverpool fans like to do things their way and they’re a pretty good chorus even at the worst of times.
