Mark Shaw QC and His Stooped Gait.

My Choice
Come On GMC.

Get a Better Looking Barrister Next Time

At £10,000 a day, I was largely disappointed at the fact that Mark Shaw QC was suffering from a stooped gait. My usual nickname for Shaw is Rumplestilkin because I believe the client he represents is making him into a crinkly skinny old man. One good aspect of being able to write is this, while Shaw can say many things about me in a court of law, no one listens to him. I though can say many things about him and lots of people read it. Mark Shaw QC can call this a public court and one where he will be judged by the yardstick of the public.

Mark Shaw QC though does sell himself to the GMC's bank. In fact, he has superglued himself there complete with additional duck tape security. The GMC roped Mark Shaw QC because he is the master magician and makes words and paper disappear without anyone knowing about it.

I stared at him in court quite a bit wondering why the GMC paid him so much money. I examined his cloak swish, the quality of his backside, his eyes and his presentation skills. Sadly, I felt there was better quality in the local farm produce of men. Clearly, Blackstone Chambers just don't breed tall dark handsome men who are QCs. Well, at least their prime cut product was not much to look at. Blackstone Chambers advertises a protection of human rights but spends the rest of the time in court violating the human rights of others.

I didn't understand it myself. I was hoping for some lush eye candy. That is the only reason you go into court isn't it?. I mean, you don't go there to get justice really. At least, I didn't expect to go there for justice. As Arpad Toth pointed out - Rita, you are going into a Casino :). you win some, you lose some. The girls though say that the Royal Courts of Justice has the best talent.

I had never seen Mark Shaw QC but heard much about him. I was eager to watch him action and took my popcorn with me. I also wondered why he wasn't the usual hunky man that the GMC had promised. They had promised a man who was gentler on the eye but Mark Shaw QC just didn't rock the court or any hormones.

Largely, at that rate of pay, there should be better value for money. I hope Finlay is listening. I for one was hugely disappointed by the fact that he really didn't match my Great Expectations of what a barrister for the GMC should be. The fact remains that the GMC never quite gets it quite right when it comes to me. First they get themselves a windbag then a string bean female with no lustre then a crinkly stooped old man. Shaw isn't actually that aged in years but I believe the General Medical Council is making him grow older by the day. He is far from the fresh faced barrister he once was.

I think that was the worst disappointment , the barrister for the GMC just wasn't tall, dark, handsome or dashing. It made me think that all these years, I had paid my GMC subscription for nothing really because even when you do end up in court, you get Rumplestilkin and not certainly Colin Firth.

Normally there is a certain attractiveness even to people who sail on the dark seas. Even Dracula is rather sexy in a evil kind of way.

With Mark Shaw QC, the lights had gone out in his eyes. In fact, he reminded me of a corpse functioning in this fictional world they termed a court room. Soon, he is going to lose so much weight that he will end up rattling away like all the skeletons in the GMC's closet.

Time for Remedy UK to beat the shit out of the GMC with the case law created here. Get to it boys [ and at least Remedy UK have better looking guys], the path has been opened for you.
