Barristers tend to have a reputation for being conservative (indeed Conservative), restrained and traditionalist. It may provide some idea of just how angry the Government's cuts to legal aid and ham-fisted court 'reforms' have made the criminal bar in particular to see the Criminal Bar Association's poster for its next event:

I think it forgivable in the circumstances. Or perhaps it is a small sledgehammer, for knocking sense into the head of the least legally-qualified Lord Chancellor in history.

Oh forgiveable, certainly. But it still makes me cringe.

I love it. The gavel for hammer is a brilliant piece of artistic co-option. Reminds me of the Buffy episode "Anne" in which she's fighting a bunch of capitalist exploiter demons of vulnerable workers using atone point a small sledgehammer and a sickle.

The imagery is great. My pedantic objection is that gavels are not used in English court rooms.
