legal aid has been sacrificed in order to shore up its sister service the NHS which became fat and bloated and continued to demand more and more
If the poor and ill need medical help they surely need legal help too, or the lack of the latter will create even more stress ( illness) than they can cope with in this fast paced complex world.
Telling them to "do law online" or use mediation is no substitute for the real thing, proper advice about the legal position as it affects them personally.
This is going to end badly and the intelligent know it.
