A Distinguished Persons Act

 

After the mass insurrection attempt against Chris Whitty it may be a good time for the government to introduce a Distinguished Persons Act. This would protect those distinguished people with heaps of expertise impartially chosen to advise the government. Members of groups such as SAGE for example.

 Distinguished Persons as defined by the Act could wear a hat such as the one depicted below where the letter D clearly and unambiguously stands for Distinguished. 




This hat would would not be a uniform because that would be going to far, but it would neatly identify the wearer as an officially Distinguished Person we must respect and look up to.

    I think they should have the letter "W" in recognition of Whitty, followed by an image of an anchor, to symbolise keeping us from drifting.

    I realise that this post is satirical (duh) but I'd like to make a wider point.

    I don't think it is a good idea to single out any group of people as deserving special protection by law. It is divisive and undermines the idea of 'blind justice'; the law should work for everyone. The law should apply to all without fear or favour, and yes, I realise that the real world throws up some poor examples.

    But no special laws for Distinguished Persons, politicians, prison warders, police, old age persons, firefighters, ambulance staff, racially defined groups, religiously defined groups and so on. The only exceptions *might* be children on the basis that they are not recognised as legally adults.

    As a further aside I always believed that allowing turban wearing Sikhs not to wear crash helmets while riding motor cycles was a poor decision for all the reasons above.

    Scrobs - sounds like a reference to one of Biden's old cronies.

    Sam - which could become the Whitty family crest. Maybe crossed syringes could be in there too.

    DJ - I agree and yes, the only exceptions might be children. Yet a kind of legal relativism seems to be creeping in all over the place even though it is in part a defining feature of totalitarian regimes. An interesting issue with all kinds of implications.

    For the hapless, hopeless, corrupt and incompetent gang of dunces we've suffered from, the D could also indicate:
    Deceitful
    Dangerous
    Duplicitous
    Deranged
    Death-dealing
    Destructive
    etc.

    Ed - all good Ds. Plus Dumb of course. It's surprising how many there are.
