really, though, i do think we of the middle classes should shut our overpaid mouths and, if we are really so incensed by something, change it or put up with it. and that doesn’t mean assuming our alleged representatives will do it for us. quit the job and set up an organisation dedicated to achieving our end.
no? still clinging desperately to our salary (yes; not technically correct for a barrister)? then we are reduced to impotent adjective-heavy rants. nothing wrong with that, we all have to eat and i love a rant (both giving and receiving). but it’s like going to your partner with problems and them coming back with solutions when what you wanted was sympathy.

also good to learn that it’s only solicitors who are scum - had never realised at least part of the profession are divine creatures of light dedicated to the eradication of nastiness and the preservatiion of small fluffy kittens. good job it’s the bit i’m going to join - phew!

still - a delightful rant and (if other lawyers are to be believed) on a real and important problem. hope you are feeling better.
