i will be truly amazed if any of this comes into being.

I'm pretty surprised that he hasn't waited until the General Election is a little closer.

I suspect that as with most of these initiatives aimed at tackling costs there will be protests from lobby groups and maybe a legal challenge and consequently little or nothing may come of it

Waiting for the EU to step in and say it would be 'unlawful'.

[bazwillrun]

the usual smokescreen and mirrors bullschit that politicians trawl out.

Like the deportation fiascos they'll have leftie lawyers all queuing up to help and appeal after appeal and theyll get what they want in the end...most of them do

I think some of the cuts are happening in April. For instance after 1/4/13, legal aid will no longer be available for some immigration or visa cases. I did have a list of all the areas where the cuts will hit, but I can't find it.

It is not enough and it wont happen, just as we wont get an election on the EUSSR, which is the root of this evil scourge.

And I can hear the 'ooman rights lawyers rubbing their hands in gleee (and phoning Sunseeker for their new boat) with all the fees taking this to the ECHR.
