It seems to me that there is a world of difference between Mr Blomfield (retired solicitor and recorder, according to the internet) and some buffoon with no legal qualifications and no idea of his/her own limitations.

Of course, there is no shortage of buffoon solicitors, but at least they have effective insurance cover and are liable to be disciplined or struck off.

The absence of legal aid is not an argument for allowing uninsured buffoonery. It is an argument for reintroducing legal aid, with a better for system for checking means and merits.
