Fred the Shred, Mill, Cameron, Osbourne, the latter two say we are In this economic disaster together, but I do not see politicians, bankers or Mill suffering the consequences. <br /><br />It is not only time to end self regulation, it is time for a repeat of the protests Thatcher's community charge triggered. <br /><br />Salmond will scream about the cuts, but he will be selective, by not criticising Mill's flock who screw clients and legal aid every day. <br /><br />This liberal conservative arrangement will reap the whirlwind because the Cleggs Cameron's & Osbournes are not In it with the electorate, they will not lose out. We are facing a winter of discontent. state actors always seem to be above the consequences of their actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-22140997539562644662010-10-21T14:05:20.214+01:002010-10-21T14:05:20.214+01:00A perfect vicious circle but I could tell you a go...A perfect vicious circle but I could tell you a good use for the scrapped Ark Royal if you could find a way to stuff it with all those crooked lawyers !<br /><br />stuff it full of lawyers and sink it ??<br /><br />Isnt that what they call A GOOD START !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-80682730587824499242010-10-20T19:12:06.745+01:002010-10-20T19:12:06.745+01:00The bankers support lawyers when they need it so t...The bankers support lawyers when they need it so they dont get regulated and then the lawyers support the bankers when they need it so they dont get regulated.<br /><br />A perfect vicious circle but I could tell you a good use for the scrapped Ark Royal if you could find a way to stuff it with all those crooked lawyers !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-91258402915201550592010-10-20T18:39:31.415+01:002010-10-20T18:39:31.415+01:00My own opinion is this whole cuts thing is a bit o...My own opinion is this whole cuts thing is a bit of a distraction because there are too many people in the public sector anyway so time to have a clear out even if it was all caused by the bankers who deserve vilification all the way to hell as far as I am concerned!.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-56918852133370423762010-10-20T17:36:13.446+01:002010-10-20T17:36:13.446+01:00and his nibs doesnt even have the decency to hand ...and his nibs doesnt even have the decency to hand back his knighthood after ruining the country<br /><br />so much for titles !<br /><br />Mill's defence of him is really patheticAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-57315579872881124842010-10-20T16:03:00.028+01:002010-10-20T16:03:00.028+01:00ITS NOT ALL BAD NEWS !

AT LEAST SOME LAWYERS ARE GETTING THE SACK TOO !<br /><br />http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/scotland/Leading--law-firm-to.6590144.jp<br /><br />Leading law firm to axe staff<br /><br />Published Date: 20 October 2010<br />By SHÂN ROSS<br /><br />ONE of Scotland's leading law firms is to axe legal staff due to the downturn in the economy, it was confirmed last night.<br /><br />McGrigors, which employs about 800 people across the UK, plans to cut about 40 senior associate and other lawyer posts as well as a number of support staff. Posts at partner level are not being targeted.<br /><br />The firm has three offices north of the Border - in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen - as well as others in London, Manchester and the Falkland Islands. Jobs losses are expected to be across its operations in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland.<br /><br />A spokesman for McGrigors, which in June was named National Law Firm of the Year by the Lawyer magazine, said: "Unfortunately, over the past 12 months it has become increasingly clear that an immediate recovery is not going to emerge, and that we are instead facing a sustained period of market uncertainty - particularly while the effects of the public sector spending review become clear.<br /><br />"For this reason, we have decided to take steps to restructure the business in a way which more closely reflects client demand. I am sorry to confirm that we yesterday entered into a redundancy consultation."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
