We need to do something about Legal Aid. The ECHR Article 6 guarantees funding for a defence in a trial; it seems the sea-lawyers in the MoJ feel that de-funding Judicial Reviews and civil cases is OK then.

I used to use due dil, but they want a shed load of money these days, not saying they are not worth it, but I am not paying that for personal curiosity although my professional interest may take me back.
