No Expert Firearms Representation Under Proposed Legal Aid Changes. This Is Serious.

[splitcane 5]

So far nearly 95,000 have signed the petition to get the appalling changes to the legal aid system debated in the House of Commons. It needs another 5,000 or so. Every voice counts, and it's not too late to add yours. Do sign it, and not by any means just for the sake of those involved in shooting. The proposals would impact on not only on those who shoot, but on just about the whole of the British criminal justice system. They would be grossly unfair on all those falsely accused (and yes, it does happen far more often than many like to believe) of almost any crime. They run counter to the basic principles of justice that make the British system one of the best and fairest in the world, despite its obvious flaws. Those opposed to the measures are too many to name. Just for starters, there's the head of the supreme court. But the Lord Chancellor could still steamroller them through without debate. Do sign.
