    Interesting article, and it is great to know that our legal profession is aware of the damage being done by cuts. However I am already convinced that the cuts to legal access for less wealthy people is a deliberate part of the Tory’s “New Feudalism” ideals. All goes to the New Robber Barons (the super rich and the multi-national corporations) and everyone else finds that their homes, income, education, and healthcare are at high risk, and without access to Law there is little they can do. Robber Barons and Serfs and Villeins, that is Camoron’s real idea of “One Nation” and “A government for all the people”.

    Austerity be damned. Cameron has been finishing off what Thatcher started in the 1980’s, he is rolling back the State and using the deficit as a cover to achieve this ideological agenda. And he’s getting away with it.
