Violet1956 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I am beginning to think there is more to your distaste for or condemnation of lawyers than meets the eye Dave. Perhaps you have had a really bad experience or maybe you are swallowing whole the propaganda in popular media owned by people who have a personal axe to grind regarding lawyers who have successfully used the law to frustrate their commercial ambitions.

Perhaps you have had a really bad experience or maybe you are swallowing whole the propaganda in popular media owned by people who have a personal axe to grind regarding lawyers who have successfully used the law to frustrate their commercial ambitions. Aaaaah it's propaganda now to point out how lawyers are screwing the taxpayer :D .......... BTW I have only ever been in court twice ;-) .......once as a witness to a death of a motorcyclist........the second time was when a London company try to screw me for 300 quid >:-( ........ They sent their pet lawyer.... I represented myself........Guess who won :D ......... Kinda connected to that case I was also supposed to be a witness at the Old Bailey for a double murder......but I managed to kick them into touch too >:-) ...... I had a business to run :D .........
