In British Courts a aign should be found reading

"justice for sale" at so much per £,.with a price

list for lawyers QCs or for bail or even a judge.

if you want out of jail. Its often been said and has

proved to be true that the law is a net that the rich

crooks slip throughThe guilty are not always those

in the dock.The perverters of Justice sit under the

clock which passes the the time oe'r the judicial

bench where the "sweet smell of justice" is nought

but a stench. (Allegedly)

The legal profession has let down our society bigtime. You are all nothing but professional vermin. Family law destroys children, which are then fed into the criminal law system. You have created a vile seething police state which will ultimately wind up becoming the most miserable place to live on Earth in history. I hate what you have done to the people of America for profit. You are selfish and you think you are so smart, but you are the bottom of the barrel actually. Your profession is crap.

i hate the legal profession...only in the legal profession do they make you pass a bar that they don't teach you how to pass in law school but they will indoctrinate you in a bunch of legal gibberish by "hot shot' professors who can't even try a fucken jury trial convincingly, and these same professors only want to make life easier for themselves by giving out 1 exam per class. worst part is they don't teach you how to write in law school, you have to learn that before or after law school
