    Save UK Justice

    Many of you may not even be aware of the impending destruction of the Criminal Justice system by our Lord Chancellor, Mr Chris Grayling. Its worth noting that Lord Chancellors are normally Lawyers, but for the first time, Mr Grayling isnt a lawyer, as far as i know he doesnt have any legal qualifications at all.

    So, you are probably thinking what is the problem? Well the problem is this, not content with the changes to Civil Justice, and the legal aid reforms which have seen many lose the ability to get legal aid in civil cases, Mr Grayling is now turning his attention to the Criminal Justice system.

    In this Country we have the right to choose our lawyers, if we get legal aid it still means we have a choice, well that is likely to change if Mr Grayling gets his way. Now i do not deal with criminal law in my day job, but i believe that everyone has the right to choose who represents him at trial.

    If Chris Grayling gets his way, that will be changing, now rather than rambling on about these changes, i would simply ask that you read this article which is written by people far better placed to comment on the impending balls up coming http://criminalbarassociation.wordpr...-peter-cooper/ as it explains the problems that we ALL face, you, me, our friends, our family, infact anyone who needs the Justice system to work for them.

      Re: Save UK Justice

      This is interesting

      I was under the impression that the separation of government from the judiciary was a constitutional matter

      THE JUDICIARY HAS CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION

      So how can the lord chancellor be a government employee, and not a lawyer, as the the lord chancellors department oversees the judiciary

      More important, how can there be judicial independence now, why are the judges not kicking up an almighty stink in the challenge to their Independence.

          Re: Save UK Justice

          Since the United Kingdom has no constitution, it is rather difficult to assert that the judiciary has constitutional protection. I believe you may be getting confused with the United States, which has both a constitution and judicial separation from government enshrined therein.

          However, I not only endorse PT's views, but I would suggest that people consider these proposals in the context of other changes including those to employment law. The United Kingdom also has no Bill of Rights. And as this government appears to be set on a particular course, there won't be enough rights left soon to write one either.

            We have an unmodified constitution 1689, and Bill of Rights,

            The Constitutional Reform Act 2005, which came into force in April 2006, considerably modified the role of the Lord Chancellor and in so doing, strengthened the independence of the Judiciary.

              5th paragraph under 'heading Background.'

              Is it coincidence your wording is exactly the same or did you just plagiarise it without acknowledging the source?

                  Be it the information was sourced from whatever media source

                  It is still valid to the original question

                  I did not know all comments had to be referenced and a bibliography given for every post made

                    Re: Save UK Justice

                    And yet, we still do not have a constitution, and we do not have any separation of powers. Which is exactly why this is happening. Strengthening the independence of the judiciary is not the same thing as the separation of powers.

                    This will save a lengthy explanation for anyone with an interest in the subject without detracting from the point of the thread :http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Const...United_Kingdom

                      It is always regarded as good practice to acknowledge one's source. All those essays should have taught you that!

                        Remind me, when is the next General Election?

                        Seriously need to get this bunch of tossers out of power.
                        "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )

                          Unfortunately the only credible opposition manifesto will contain a promise about as understandable as scalar fields, and of much less use! It is amazing how impossible it frequently is to repeal things...
