What they do is allow on principle, but then means test - the cut off is about £15K. The bureaucracy will also estimate earnings and make it difficult to appeal. 95% of us will not now get legal aid, leaving people will fears of massive bills in trying to defend themselves where punishment will be a few quid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-60679592137688353722010-11-05T05:56:15.016+00:002010-11-05T05:56:15.016+00:00"How did we end up in this situation and more...<i>"How did we end up in this situation and more importantly how do we get out of it?"</i> <br /><br />I think we all know.

The law-evading don't care about those things, so are free to do as they please...<br /><br />Plus, as RAB points out, the iniquitous CPS, which has done far more to poison the concept of justice than any other institution.JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-49471584526313861922010-11-05T00:48:38.909+00:002010-11-05T00:48:38.909+00:00Scum get Legal Paid

Before it was down to the police to prosecute or not, now the CPS will pursue the alleged crime to the ends of the earth, on the flimsiest of evidence, if it ticks certain boxes like "race" "rape" "hate" "Speech" crimes etc.<br /><br />So I repeat, never ever plead guilty. You will NOT get a heavier sentence if found guilty. You only have to check what the vilest of murderers get and how long they stay inside. Ten years max.<br /><br />The Legal system is being used as a cosh. It's the hassle factor, not the Justice or right and wrong of the case that matters, they merely want to fuck you around without proving anything against you. They want and expect you to capitulate and be cowed.<br /><br />Well push the fuckers right back against the wire. make them prove every goddam lie they tell or make up against you. <br /><br />Until they get rid of the Jury system (I'm informed that the EU are already working on it, European harmonsation innit!) you have a 60 to 40 per cent chance of walking free.<br /><br />Dont let the bastards grind you down!RABnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-73701349917401428772010-11-04T18:09:22.323+00:002010-11-04T18:09:22.323+00:00The loonies are in charge right enough and I don&#...The loonies are in charge right enough and I don't see how we can reverse the situation.

If they plead not guilty and make the system actually prove its case, they are punished by a harsher sentence.<br /><br />By the time it comes to a plea, you've already lost all faith in the 'system'. You've been arrested for standing up for yourself when the people who were supposed to protect you didn't. You're abused, your DNA is taken and you know you're never getting the record purged. Depending on your career, you've probably already lost your job and maybe even your career if its sensitive to criminal convictions.<br /><br />Now with all of this having already happened, when the representative from the system tells you to plead guilty or they'll screw you harder, what frame of mind do you think most people are in ?Anonymouslemminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04693377613554638959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-86844288338443279472010-11-04T15:20:12.223+00:002010-11-04T15:20:12.223+00:00Bugger!
