major_clangerBloody Hell! Major Clanger finds possibly the only prospective new career where he gets a wig to cover his thinning thatch, and the Lord Chief Justice decides to abolish them. At least, abolish them in non-criminal cases, and as an IP/Tech barrister that's pretty much all I'd be doing. Goodbye to wing collars and preaching bands, too - but the batcape is staying. The normally staid Bar Council site has a news update saying, in effect, "Oh God, here we go again."
And no more full-bottomed wigs for senior judges (as modelled in the userpic)! No mind that they've only been worn on ceremonial occasions for the last century and a half, it's still what everyone seems to think all judges wear. What will cartoonists do now?
