Then you should try it. Anybody can attend the public gallery of courts and I highly
recommend it. For a start, the accused does not provide any case or explanations.
A respectable middle class lawyer, makes a good living doing that for him.



Sorry Janet, that's what i meant by putting up a case. And then there's
always Legal Aid so we are probably paying in some way for their defence

That's one of the consequences of a more mobile society. I have no relatives within 150miles. The reasonable advice to the unemployed to be prepared to move to where the work is has the side effect of moving young families away from the extended family and settling them into an area where they know no-one.

I don't think that those 17 year olds would have been quite so
obnoxious.


And the Drill Sargent wouldn't have stood for any nonsense.

The news coverage is a bit spotty... ;-)



If it was the Guardian it would be the "Telegrapgh" - The Daily
Telegraph knows how to spell :)
