I blame the Tony Blair ( cherry Booth ) era for the decision to dismantle the legal aid system. It was the same 'presidential style' of Government that led to the decision to dismantle the office of Lord Chancellor and leave him with no cabinet role or authority. Lawyers fuelled by legal aid were used quite rightly to challenge Government decisions and that is something 'President Tony' had no intention of letting stand in his way! Imagine what a Lord Chancellor might have advised about the need to obtain a United Nations Resolution before waging war in Iraq!
