Quite right.
As Andrew’s employer has shown, the correct mode of address for judges is “Enemy of The People”.

In the meantime, this “PC Wokery” sounds like a dangerous cad. I hope his sergeant yanks him into line before he infects anybody else.
(Explainer for anybody curious about thicko @toryboypierce’s moronising: judges in certain lower courts are now to be addressed as “judge”, on the woke basis that they are, well, judges. In Crown Courts, they will still be Your Honour. In High Court and above, still My Lord/Lady)
For further reference, I touch on modes of address for judges in #NothingButTheTruth. Should sweary bestselling books about criminal justice be up your alleyway.

This is the official announcement confirming the change in mode of address for the judiciary in certain lower courts.
I will pay ten thousand pounds if anybody, including dimwit @toryboypierce, can point out the “PC wokery”.

(For completeness, I should point out that the changes also affect Masters, a type of judge who sits in the High Court. But the other changes affect lower courts such as District Judges sitting in magistrates’ courts).
