Since this article the bill has been passed. Assuming the Lodrs follow the commons, Legal aid will be cut for all but domestic violence.
Greedy Lawers?
No. Legal aid layers are paid less that the national average. This will not hit any fat cats in london, but the high street layer you and I see.
Who does this affect?
Mainly women. As with an increasing number of these cuts women seem to be hardest hit. If you have no money, then you will not be able to access justice. Women tend to be porrer than men.
Nessisary?
No. £2bn sounds a lot, but then we are putting £40bn into the IMF, Vodaphone allegidly avoided approx £6bn in tax.
Protests.
Like hell! No-one cares as you never care about the law until it's too late!
