Hopefully they'll get their just desert.

I'm amazed they have said not guilty, but if that's the case then they have a right to be represented as such as unpalatable as we may find that. I understand your disgust.

but if you decide not to represent someone based on your assumptions you are acting as judge and jury and denying someone a fair trial, that isn't right.

but if you did what you are suggesting there would be a case where a lawyer assumed someone was guilty, refused to represent them they ended up in jail and it transpired they weren't guilty at all. I agree, it's horrible when someone guilty gets off and the system isn't perfect but I don't...

I'd imagine you would advise them to go guilty. If the client has admitted they're guilty then I would assume they would take that advice. If they are adamant they are not guilty even if the lawyer thinks they are then to deny them your services would be to act s judge and jury. I'd imagine...

I said this on another thread but Sara wasn't the first City player to reveal an "I love Jesus" t-shirt. Who remembers the first occasion, (I think it was the first!).

but then the defence lawyer is acting as judge and jury and that's not their job. Everyone has a right to a fair trial, and though it's unpalatable that includes the Wests, returning ISIS members and a whole selection of assorted wrong uns. Otherwise our justice system breaks down.

I can't put into words just what a complete fucking idiot that man is. In a week where Carillion collapsed and the full cost to the taxpayer of PFI/PPP deals has been in the news surely the last thing any politician should be doing is suggesting another white elephant project that's going to...

I wouldn't imagine that a lawyer would advice a not guilty plea in this case.

one, (fairly sure it was Liam),was in prison for petty crimes to feed his habit. When he came out he OD'd on street heroin which is much stronger than prison heroin. Apparently it's quite a common cause of death among addicts.

it's definitely hunts, he's even said so in a book in 2005, Direct Democracy: An Agenda For A New Model Party. Only the tories would put a man who wants to privatise the NHS in charge of the NHS!

the 2 Maher brothers who were in Floweredup are both dead now from heroin ODs. Pretty sad really. They had a week long party in a hired mansion when they signed their first record deal and it was a bit legendary by all accounts!

who's said that, apart from the voices in your head?

Fair play to the lad. Been impressed with him when he's on song albeit he's been inconsistent but hopefully he'll work on that and sort it out.

If you want to talk about anti British I'll give you two sentences: David Davis attempts to circumnavigate parliament over the Brexit withdrawal bill. David Davis lying to Parliament and the British public over Brexit impact reports.

3 would also be helped by more investment in high quality training. And that is where tax breaks should be targeted. I believe there are certain mechanisms in place but they are open to abuse. I believe a highly skilled workforce in all sectors would benefit us more than anything else. I...

Superb name!

Yeah, sorry about that! the FT article is a better read. What can be done? Well I agree with the thrust of this article: CAPITALISM IS BROKEN: Business leaders admit GREED is destroying UK’s economic model I've said it before, I consider myself to be a small c capitalist. But I think it needs...

maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Hopefully we have a sell on clause for CW as well.

this is more a prediction of things to come but it paints a bleak picture: Subscribe to read Edit: Bollocks! Subscribe to read! The article was based on the findings of the resolution foundation, I'll see if it's available on their web site. Another edit: the thrust of the FT article is here...
