The legal profession has been absolutely shafted by this government since Cameron's first days. People have the perception lawyers are all loaded but the reality is many, in criminal law in particular, are paid less than minimum wage. The 15% rise is bollocks, this is worth reading if you're interested. https://thesecretbarrister.com/2022/06/27/the-criminal-bar-on-strike-9-things-you-need-to-know/ I was aware of the the piss poor rates on legal aid work, which, as you state, often works out at less than minimum wage. They’re paid £100 less per day on Legal Aid work than the average day rate of a plumber. Tories are the Anti-Midas, literally everything they touch turns to shit, unless it’s going in their offshore account. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21627 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Steve Bray (aka"Stop Brexit man") the first victim of the governments new anti-protest laws that came into effect today. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jun/28/police-swoop-on-stop-brexit-man-under-new-anti-protest-law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21627 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Does he only holler at young women like? Anyway, thin and wedge come to mind, it's now illegal to protest outside Parliament, or anywhere else afaik, at the police's discretion. Anything coming from Patel is pretty much guaranteed to be authoritarian and bad news. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 What’s the problem? Just some regular, normal Tory Enforcement Officers getting on with the job of silencing some uppity riff-raff with too much time on his benefit-scrounging hands. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21627 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It's not like the Met have anything better to do either. So, what happens if Bray is fined, comes back and does the same thing. Is he then arrested and imprisoned? For non-violent protest? I guess they'll have to find a barrister to take his case on first, although maybe as they're on strike we can just bypass that and send him straight to Pentonville. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21627 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Bray comes across as reasonable here and makes some good points. This new law hasn't got anywhere near enough attention yet as we slip into a fascist state (because that is most definitely where we are heading). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44901 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Not sure it's helpful to have the Defence Secretary on telly saying Putin has "small man syndrome" and is a "lunatic". We all know that you dickhead, but I can go on the telly and say that. I think we expect something a bit more statesman like from a bloke who has designs on being Prime Minister. Although maybe the weird Trumpian tory base are bang up for this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21627 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Johnnson being weird saying Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if he was a woman as well. Wtaf are you blabbing on about you obese cretin? Also Truss today threatening tariffs with CHina and saying we should focus trade on trusted partners - what, like the EU you mean? A lot of this is just down to shear incompetence, they haven't got a clue what they are saying or doing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30620 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Surely doing it without a referendum would allow the Tories to simply reverse it if they ever got back into power? Probably a risk worth taking though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21627 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I think major constitutional reform requires a referendum for legitimacy, which is unfortunate in this case. Labour won't put this in theor manifesto so caouldn't agree to it. Which is one reason I just can't see it happening after the disastrous AV referendum, where 67% of people bvoted against reform. See also NE devolution. People are fucking idiots. Pnly hope is the absolute shit show of the last 10 years plus ypunger voters entering the mix could swing it.

NJS 4386 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I know I'm too cynical sometimes but I tend to think all "amateur" charities are at least tax avoidance schemes and possibly more (no pun intended). Same as when I seen "non-profit" on things like BUPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
