My learned friend

RT Joanna Hardy @Joanna__Hardy:

As the country is gripped by the Supreme Court - a light guide (ahem) to some barrister phrases:

“If my learned friend is right...” = My learned friend is wrong.

“I’ve just noticed the time” = I am hungry. Are you hungry?

“I won’t read it aloud” = It’s really quite long.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
