Just Money

As one would expect of a mere expert, the retiring president of the Supreme Court has offered the crudest possible explanation for the current inadequacies of her profession. Rather than blaming immigrants, the beastly Euro-wogs or even Jeremy Corbyn, the metropolitan élitist Lady Hale sought to deflect the responsibility onto, of all things, the efficiency savings which have followed from the Osbornomic miracle. Hale particularly emphasised the impact on family law, where the proles' lack of access to legal services for their ordinary, everyday lives means that the ordinary, everyday lives of real people are completely unaffected, except possibly in the sense of paying less tax. Given the various wild oats which he himself has spaffed up the wall of family values during his long and salubrious career, it remains as yet unclear precisely what balance the People's Haystack hopes to achieve between abstract justice, political expediency and simple snout-in-trough self-interest.
