- Twitter user @DavidMuttering posted a picture of the QC bewigged outside Court and requested that people make it ‘Christmassy.
- He was not disappointed by Twitter: Within hours, dozens upon dozens of holiday memes were posted to the site
- One Photoshopper put the barrister in the arms of the Virgin Mary, while another merged his head onto the body of a woman wearing a sexy Santa outfit
- David has over 25,000 followers and responded to the photos by saying, ‘I now have to choose a new profile picture’
One QC tweeted a picture of himself in traditional court robes, asking people to help make the photo more Christmassy. The image was hilariously transformed.
A senior barrister who clearly loved the holiday season was awarded memes. These included him being held in the arms of Virgin Mary replacing Bruce Willis’ in Die Hard, and then posing alongside East 17 on their cover to the perennial Christmas song, Stay Another Day.

But, the law whiz was soon rewarded with many festive images almost a whole day later – some of them better than others and some just a bit racier than what he would have liked.
One PhotoShopper placed the barrister’s head on the body of an attractive woman dressed in Santa clothes, while another secured him at the top end of a festive tree.
He also appeared in The Muppets Christmas Carol with the traditional wig that looked right at home alongside the period cast.
