I really am fascinated about the mind of the self regulator because comments from Law Society boffins such as “our Master Policy is the ultimate in consumer protection”. These boffins in my opinion really believe this; they are simply out of touch with the reality. The SLCC was set up to protect lawyers. I don’t know if you have ever studies philosophy but John Stuart Mill said “democracy is no guarantee of freedom”. How right he was because fill a government with like minded individuals or your SLCC, SSDT or Law Society and it becomes a protection racket for vested interests. You do not fool us, you are only fooling yourself. Lawyers are professional parasites who rely on their colleagues to keep their crimes hidden.
