NO WAY.<BR/><BR/>They would prefer to offer the accused no justice whatsoever...no legal representation would be their approach; unless of course the accused went to Public School.<BR/><BR/>I am nevertheless very disapointed with New Labour's treatment of the criminal Bar, and their denigration of access to Justice. I had some romantic notion that they (New Labour) spoke for the common man; ensuring that everyone had some form of legal representation.<BR/><BR/>How my naive notions have been abused - innocent fool that I was.<BR/><BR/>I will not be voting Labour next time around; they seem nothing more than the old Tories in a crocodile suit. We have woken the beast to discover that it has a reptilian like torpor after all.<BR/><BR/>20 January 2008 17:33Mr Pineappleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696204287962843200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932746992402771668.post-62393259210001526152008-01-20T17:33:00.000+00:002008-01-20T17:33:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mr Pineappleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696204287962843200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932746992402771668.post-65513145988744132902008-01-18T10:57:00.000+00:002008-01-18T10:57:00.000+00:00The LSC contract is yet another concerted effort o...The LSC contract is yet another concerted effort on the part of the present government to finish off the criminal justice system - with the wider goal of placing a severe dent in the concept to access to justice- once and for all; surely no one will want to work under the imposition of such ludicrous conditions!
