The Political Mind Set

My concern is that politicians, or at least to many of them, believe that the rights of the individual and fundamental freedoms to which the modern democratic state aspires, are so important that criminal lawyer, who are often at the forefront of upholding them, should have the honour of doing so for free, or at least at a considerably reduced fee. As Oscar Wilde observed there are times when charity can create a multitude of sins and no more of it s used to fill the gaping crevasse carved out by the inadequate provision of legal over the terms of successive governments in this country.
