Call me old-fashioned, but back in the day, if you appeared in court, you'd put on your best bib and tucker to impress the beak. Today's court couture is an entirely different matter. This is the delightful Oliver family, found guilty in a child cruelty case after forcing toddlers to fight each other, and don't they look lovely? I bet the judge let them off a court sentence because of a glimpse of that pot belly in a cropped top - or was it that midriff bulge, or meaty arms in a vest top? Perhaps the sophistication of that very now monochrome smock top swung it?
For the gentlemen comes Kiel Simpson, in court in Liverpool today accused of owning a pit-bull terrier which mauled his niece Ellie to death. I wonder what he thought as he perused the wardrobe before he left. 'Hmmm...jacket and tie, in the vague hope that the judge might think I am trying to be respectable, or what most people would wear for a night on the lash? It is a designer polo shirt, so yeah, I reckon the judge will be well impressed.'These people are obviously incredibly ignorant, but it's a hideous sign that we've lost a lot of the respect we should have for our legal system - and for others - that these scumbags have turned up for a day which will affect their lives looking like they've just come from a ten-quid shopping trip. These people clearly have a 'fuck you' attitude to life, and dress accordingly. So I was delighted to read that the Olivers' case is being reviewed, and that Simpson could be facing a prison term. I think they'd all look good in an outfit covered in arrows.
* PS Not forgetting this teacher, who was sent home for dressing like Vicky Pollard. The mind boggles. All this is adding up to new signs at the Old Bailey which read 'No Shoes, No Shirt, No Sentence'.

I'm not sizeist but.........there's something rather unattractive about those awful tops showing pot bellies. Don't even get me started on when they're married with a pierced navel. Or stretchmarks.
And can I just say, I find the wearing of baseball caps indoors the most ignorant thing. Ever.
I hate it when you go down to a hotel breakfast and there's an arse sat there in a baseball cap.
And I'm talking fairly classy hotels here.I'm all for bringing back the obligatory wearing of ties to swanky hotels.
Here's my guide to twattish menswear:
Henri Lloyd = tosser
Lacoste trainers = tosser
Bench = tosser
Lonsdale = tosser
MacKenzie = Blazin' Squad
Stone Island = football terrace's tosser
O'Neill = surf bum wannabe tosser
I once saw a big American rapper-type in the foyer of the Dorchester, with a baseball cap and trousers with the crotch at knee-level, eating a greasy Burger King hamburger meal out of the bag. And not getting asked to go elsewhere and do it.

I used to work next to Market Street Court in Newcastle, and every lunchtime the number of similarly dressed knackers either about to go in or just out of court wearing their best shellsuit and scrunchie amazed me. You could almost hear the knuckles dragging as they walked past you.
Most people these days are idiots and vermin. FACT.
Except all the lovely people who write and contribute to this blog........;-))
Very true Pam _I'd like to see all five of those idiots modelling prison issue for a very long time
On a similar subject. The school I used to go to was very strict about wearing the proper uniform and no eating in the streets. I have now heard that the pupils now dress much less formally and are seen wandering all over the place eating food which I believe would get Jamie Oliver in a right tizz. I think we would have got a detention for that. Anyway it is just one more area where respect and decency seems to have gone out of the window. It is very sad.
Oh yes, and I too would like to see these idiots in their prison issue garb.
Let these scrotes continue to wear polyester leisure wear on their big day out. It may even get them a few more months community service, or whatever it is you get for murder these days.
Rest assured that if they attempted to wear an Asda suit, they wouldn't tuck the shirt in anyway. Nor wear a tie. Unless it had elastic fixings and a six-inch wide footballer's knot.
Personally, I think that much like Viz Bottom Inspectors, squads of neatly-dressed clothing wardens should be patrolling our city, prodding any disgusting, fleshy, exposed muffin tops with metal measuring pincers and detaining all flabby-armed bints who wear white vests in April after the first ten minutes of sunshine. CCTV would be used to pinpoint all males clad in baseball caps.
Such offenders would then be whisked away to become landfill for our new Olympic 'Village'.
I'd vote for a Mayor who did that.
I remember some fool (maybe Sean Ryder)saying something like "youv'e got to fel soory for kids going to court wearing jeans and tainers they've got nothing else".The flaw in that arguement is that modst of them wear hideously expensive deigner ger then say they can't afford a suit
Yes, and when the aforementioned Asda suit is forty-odd quid, there's no excuse, is there?
