So how did they qualify Bob and more importantly who is/are the source of these figures?

1. Legal Aid.
2. Daily Mirror.

My questions were how did they qualify for legal aid when Nigel Evans didn't and the source of the figures - the fact a national tabloid says it happened without saying who told them speaks volumes.

Perhaps they were entitled to and received legal aid before the law was changed?

Perhaps Evans chose to hire the 'finest legal minds in the land' rather than taking pot luck?

Legal aid cuts came in 6 years before the Telford case and it seems only certain people or cases qualify.

Austerity at its worst and it's not as if they can just nip across to France or Belgium like we can.

Might you be condemning them as guilty before the fair and transparent process of justice has been put in motion, oh Captain, my Captain?

All guilty as charged except for Abdul Rouf who walked free, but the judge ordered a child prostitution charge should lie on file. If Rouf has any problems let the bastard try to sue me.

My point is that nobody is guilty until found so in a court of law. Isn't that the basic premise of British justice?

#155 Wow! I see your point. Some of those pay packets are almost within 1/20th of the chief executive pay for just one of the corresponding businesses for which they are representing their members.

Having never even been a Cllr she's become quite the expert!
Do you think she really believes her own spiel?

Very easy spending other peoples money...
What difficult choices does she suggest we make to allow us to provide local authorities with more money to spend?
