Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
There are people in this country appearing in court and having to defend themselves because of the cuts in the Legal Aid system,these people are denied being represented by a lawyer.This report in the Telegraph talks of hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on lawyers representing four mates of Jihadi John who aren't even in the country.the worlds gone mad.
Regards.

Hundreds of thousands spent on lawyers for quartet linked to 'Jihadi John' cell

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
It doesn't take much effort on their part to make a mockery of the British Legal System and the propaganda they gain is all free gratis. Traitors and spies in wartime were hanged, this also included terrorists. They are all laughing at the weak retaliation put up by those they are at loggerheads with. As well as using our own weapons against us, they are also using our laws. JS

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
Now one can see why the military take control in other countries and our twits in parliament decry their actions, reason, they quake in case something similar happens on their own doorstep. These countrys that have military coups, all that is written is the negative side never the reason why they took over, which in most cases is simply incompetency, and you will find that the take over is also the will of the people. Politicians in a western society should realize that they only remain there as long as the people want them, their oaths of office are to the legitimate people of the country and to no one else, if they signed agreements stating otherwise without consultation with the people they should be null and void.

I also did not have any time for her, BUT, she was what we needed when the Argies needed sorting. I wonder what the whimps today would do in the same situation, KT

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
There are many here in Oz who do not like the current PM. But like him or not he did stop the boats full of refugees rom arriving on our shores. He set up a border control and made it work.
