Lawyers: a peasant strikes back!
Some readers may have had problems with lawyers, as I have in particular I have been given a hard time by a shameless barrister whose chambers are in Brighton. There is a growing awareness of the unscrupulous behaviour of many lawyers but it is not easy to achieve redress through official mechanisms. However, I am attempting that but in parallel I am embarking on direct action. Wednesday, 23 July 2008 saw the first stage in this endevour. I demonstrated with my placard outside the barrister's chambers on the north side of Church Street, Brighton at its eastern end. Below you can see some of the photos taken. I would welcome comments.
I was there for nearly four hours and it was quite hot. I would like to say that some shame-faced barrister's threw themselves on the pavement begging forgiveness. Alternatively I would like to say that some of them rushed at me with sabres and that I fought them off single handed. I have to be truthful and admit that neither of these things happened. However, I think I made an impact and I shall be returning....
I welcome information about the actions of others where lawyers are concerned.
I am a Campaigner on several issues. The main one at the local level is to make the public space more attractive and accessible to everyone. As a person with both sight and hearing problems this is a cause very dear to my heart. I also campaign against ill-thought-out building developments. I am active on a national and international level with such bodies as Sense and RNIB. In addition I am an active member of Families Need Fathers (FNF) which campaigns for equal access to children by both parents following family breakdown.
