For anyone who has worked in customer service, the mere idea of telling a customer where to stick it is something that keeps you going. When I worked at a popular fast food restaurant, I'd fantasise about calling people out on their bullshit at least five times a day. So this story kind of gives me hope.

A judge who called a racist defendant a 'bit of a cunt' has been cleared of misconduct.

Judge Patricia Lynch QC was sentencing John Hennigan who had breached his ASBO after being racist towards a Caribbean woman and her two children. Half way through the hearing, Hennigan said that Judge Lynch was a "bit of a cunt" to which she replied: "you're a bit of a cunt yourself."

He then screamed "Go fuck yourself!" and she quipped: "you too."

After the incident, Judge Lynch received around 10 complaints regarding her conduct. She apologised but was then referred to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO).

In a statement today, the JCIO said: "Although the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice considered HHJ Lynch's remarks to be inappropriate, they did not find that they amounted to misconduct or warranted any disciplinary sanction.

"[They] were of the view that the matter should be dealt with by informal advice."

Does that mean we can get away with it then? Yes, yes it does.

Alright then, let's be honest, the man clearly is a bit of a cunt, the lord of the cunts, chief of the cunt tribe, and can most certainly go and fuck himself.
