A Reasonable Thinking Person

I am sure that most of us have heard the saying “ In the view(s) of a reasonable thinking person(s)”…….But how many have asked themselves who is/are considered “Reasonable thinking person(s).
Who are they?
I have come to the conclusion that they are the Judges who sit in the law Courts all over the country. That’s the only place you are led to believe these people are to be found
These are the only ones recognised and deemed to be Reasonable Thinking Persons.
You cannot find them anywhere else.

Do you realise what this means? ……………You will not find any of these Judges in the, The Police Force, The Armed Services, The Banking System The Health Service etc etc etc.

There is not one Reasonable thinking Person in the Government.

No wonder we are in a Mess!!.

Excellent!

My definition of a "reasonable thinking person" is someone who agrees with me!:beagle:

I hate the word reasonable when applied to any legal context.

Reasonable person

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The reasonable person (historically reasonable man) is a legal fiction of the common law that represents an objective standard against which any individual's conduct can be measured. It is used to determine if a breach of the standard of care has occurred, provided a duty of care can be proven.
The reasonable person standard holds: each person owes a duty to behave as a reasonable person would under the same or similar circumstances.[1][2] While the specific circumstances of each case will require varying kinds of conduct and degrees of care, the reasonable person standard undergoes no variation itself.[3][4]
This standard performs a crucial role in determining negligence in both criminal law—that is, criminal negligence—and tort law. The standard also has a presence in contract law, though its use there is substantially different.[5] The standard does not exist independently of other circumstances within a case that could affect an individual's judgment.

Sadly, the last time the 'reasonable man' was seen, he was on board a Clapham omnibus - with very unfortunate consequences!
