No s**t Sherlock! The government expect sites like this to provide free legal advice. They also rely on food banks to feed the starving and when you get sick it is usually due to your own lifestyle choices so you can go find some quack peddling snake oil! They insist young people get into severe debt if they want to educate themselves then they sell their souls to a DCA and say, Debt, well that’s your own fault as well–you need to budget.
Justice; what the f*** would they know about justice.:mmph:
