  • I hope MSE Martin gets behind it as Legal aid, the ability to do Judicial Reviews on bad government and administration decisions saves taxpayers money and that shock horror includes me.

  • Thanks to MSE Martin and Admin for still keeping this Thread up. Hopefully with a little hard work and reading the message will gradually penetrate into the most remotest and most far reaching parts of the collective MSE brain and MSE take ACTION!!

    Thanks to ToryGraph for this discussion.
    More arguments if you like for the defence plus other arguments for MSE to peruse.

    I disagree with opposition to this reform. Legal aid has created many millionaires amongst our legal fraternity and is a meal ticket for many others, and it is in their interest, and no other, that this reform is halted.

    This can only be a good thing, not signing.

    £1 billion is ridiculous.

    I would guess that the OP and wouldbeqaulitymoneysaver are examples of those with their noses in the trough, hence the self interest in the continuous bumping of this thread.

    Is there a petition supporting the reform? If there is I'll be happy to sign that.

    You wanna choose your own Lawyer? one who knows you inside out and is able to leap to your defence or do you prefer the Govt to choose your Lawyer who you cannot sack if he or she is an a***hole?

    I would find it VERY difficult to choose a lawyer who knows me 'inside out' because I don't have day-to-day dealings with members of the legal profession :rotfl:

    I'd be more inclined to read this thread properly, and the links indicated, if it didn't look like a set of twitter feeds. No word limit on here; so clarity IS an option!

    Paragraphs would be a start; at the moment it all seems rather hysterical.

    Thank you Honey Bear
  • @valli I am probably hysterical due to the things that are at stake.
    I am guilty of rambling.
    I don't think Twitter Feeds are offensive. If MSE folks bother to read them they would learn a LOT. This is in the name of transparency as well as honesty. It is also a form of Self Validation and defence. As I feel the need to defend my position at this precarious point in time.

  • My Support Workers know me inside out and could debrief a Lawyer if push comes to shove.
    I am making myself acquainted with the Scene by surfing the numerous sites and unearthing numerous specialties Anyone can do it as a cautious measure, if push comes to shove..
    If by chance you need a Lawyer and need Legal aid you will need to be aware of what and who is out there.

    Don't feed the troll. Until a full and concise argument both for and against is put forward, just ignore it.
