So this is suppose to imbue people with a sense of awe and terror over the might, justice and antiquity of The Law. You call this heraldry?
Even the court's own formal logo, which carries an image of the royal crown, has been relegated to the front entrance and official documents and communications.Instead a less formal emblem, which only contains national flowers and vegetables representing each of the home nations, features throughout the building and in the three court rooms – in a bid to be more accessible to the public.
Officials at the court, which began work on Monday, insisted the move "in now way" undermines the relationship with the Crown and the presence of the royal crown and coat of arms emphasised that the Monarch is the source of the court's authority.
It is the latest in a series of rows over the down grading of royal symbols and allegiance under Labour.
What a fine pack of republicans.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like logo of some food company, not the symbol of the (once) greatest human justice system on the face of the globe..
ReplyDeleteThe crest of the United States Supreme Court is more heraldic.

Pwahahaha! National vegetables on your court's heraldry? I mean, I know we Aussies eat every part of our own national emblem, but hey, at least the kangaroo can disembowel you if it feels so inclined, and the emu will kick you to death if you touch its eggs.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, how can a lion and a unicorn get beaten by herbavores?!
British Law is still the greatest on earth, it is just that Britain doesn't utilise it any more.
ReplyDeleteLook on the brightside, Labour is dead and when you sink that low the chances of the Tories being worse is rather remote.
Oh to be sure, the Law is still the best contrived by humans, but the system itself seems to have degraded some, the judges, courts and so on.
ReplyDeleteI certainly didn't mean to say that there has been anything created since that is actually better than the British law!
It's amateur hour in the UK, and has been since the 'reign' of Blair. Nevertheless, these vulgar people know what their doing. It's all a part of changing the identity of the country and undermining the Crown.
ReplyDeleteWould make a nice teatowel though.
I apologise for posting again, but it just struck me. As it is, are they not missing the shamrock? At least part of Ireland is still in the United Kingdom, is it not?
ReplyDeleteDespite all the tripe one reads about ferral republicans in Australia, Canada and occasionally NZ, the UK leads the way in this regard!
ReplyDeleteAll other the other Commonwealth realms have their Royal Coat of Arms diplayed as the Crown's authority in court (eg. http://www.dpmc.gov.au/guidelines/docs/CCOA_general_points.pdf).
UK republicans must marginalise the monarchy as part of their plan to surrendered their sovereignty to Europe!
The Flax plant has replaced the shamrock in representing the Irish in this symbol.
ReplyDeleteThe Ministry of Justice has in fact commissioned a new, stronger version of the Royal Arms for use in all new Law Courts in the UK. Whatever the reason for the Supreme Court using this somewhat contoversial logo, new courts will soon be able to display a design worthy of its position in the courtrooms of the United Kingdom. I know, I have seen it.
ReplyDeleteA small version of the new design can be seen on Flikr, on Sable Musimon's page. It should look suitably impressive at sizes between a metre to a metre and a half high!
ReplyDeleteI have included an image of the striking new design of the Royal Arms on my blog, on Blogger. Anyone interested, please take a look, and comment.
