One Monday Morning.
British Justice, a farce or what..
Scottish Justice must do better.
One Monday morning a sheriff (Judge) was feeling off colour.
Fist case up was big Mary. “What is it this time Mary” muttered the sheriff
“Am definitely no letting that man o mine near ma kids, no matter what ye say I cannot stand him because of the life he gave me when we were together” said Mary. The sheriff gave a big sigh and said to himself “whit a bloody start tae a Monday morning how do I always get these cases?” “But Mary that contact order was made in the best interests of the children can you not see that” Mary answers “that may well be but it’s a drag waiting in for him every Monday night especially as I’ve got a new boyfriend coming round, a don’t want him meeting that idiot”.
“This is the third time you have been before me on refusing to honour the court order do you know I could send you to jail?” said the sheriff to which Mary replies, “who will watch the kids if I’m inside? It’s in all the papers we are not being jailed for refusing to allow access” it would be bad publicity if you jailed me.
The sheriff really blowing his top, trying to compose himself said “I’m going to give you one more chance and I hope (and pray) that you will comply so please please go away and think about it, I really would not like to send you to jail”(got myself out of that nicely)
OK your Worship, thanks a lot, (thinking to herself) “If he thinks I’m worried he’s off his head, they’ll no send us to jail”
