No, the root is a system that allows lawyers to defend people and to win cases despite the fact those people are in the wrong.

Everyone is entitled to a defence.

There are solicitors firms in Scotland including Dundee who do mostly legal aid work at the Sheriff Court.

Over forty years ago I was asked to go to collect a bank card from a foreign student customer on my way home.
The student invited me into his flat and on the wall of his sitting room was a large Palestinian flag.
I said nothing, collected the bank card and promptly left.

If he was from Palestine whats the issue?

And?

The U.K. taxpayers are paying for all the legal aid.

I did not feel safe in that flat and I made quite clear the following morning that I should not have been asked to collect this bank card on my way home from work.
The bank should have sent two members of staff sa security in numbers to collect this bank card.

Everyone is entitled to a defence.

If people arrive in the U.K. illegally they should forfeit their right to legal aid.

I agree with you.
These lawyers are ‘milking the system’ at U.K. taxpayers expense.

The European Court of Human Rights which became law in 1951 should be repealed as it is out of date.
It was never set up to deal with millions of illegal immigrants arriving in the EU as economic migrants.

Who forced you to go into the flat?

How would they pay to defend themselves then?
