Legal Aid Changes

There was a new Legal Aid act that changed the way in which "no win, no fee" cases were funded in the legal profession.

The Daily Telegraph share with us that the original "conditional fee arrangements" were launched in 1995 to replace Legal Aid and were designed to widen access to justice to those without the financial resources to pay expensive legal fees. At that time it was appropriate because the whole justice system in the UK e.g. the Old Bailey began in the beginning to help the poor not the rich. As you can see on the building, it says, 'Defend the children of the poor'. 

In the 90's legal aid meant that I was able to make a claim against a financial company that tried to take my home due to Abbey Life not paying out on the insurance that I had paid for. The underwriters had changed the policy after the policy had been signed for. A corporate lawyer defended and was funded by the legal aid that existed at that time to help people that required it. So we got through the recession and kept a roof over our heads during the recession, thanks to the corporate lawyer that read the small print, and how the policy had been changed.

We won the case and after it - there was also a 'criminal' investigation into what Abbey Life employees were doing to their innocent customers. However, now with the change in the Legal Aid, would a person in a similar situation be able to get the defence they require?

What if a person was being evicted from their homes? What legal aid would be available? Ring around and see how many solicitors are now offering legal aid. What if a person required defence for disability, how can you get legal aid if none of the solicitors are offering it? How can the poor get justice now?

Legal Aid had the original intention of making arrangements to cover all sorts of civil litigation, whether you had been injured in a car accident, or had a complaint against your employer, or in 'medical negligence' cases against the NHS.

So what did the changes in the legal aid cause to happen? 'Lord Young, in his review of legal aid costs reported that the NHS had paid £8bn in claims in the previous five years, but only a third of this was paid in damages the rest was in legal fees' and that was the issue that some people had with legal aid.

So now the solicitors are not providing legal aid, and the poor are in the middle of the battle for justice, between the government and the lawyers who have been defending their own corners, while a huge amount of poor people are suffering in the UK and are not receiving their human rights to food and homes due to what DWP are doing to the people and who can defend them?

The disability protest in the foyer of the houses of parliament that wasn't allowed to be filmed.

So who did the change in legal aid help? It helped the insurance and financial companies, the NHS, and not the people that justice was meant to help. So if a person has suffered NHS corporate 'negligence', or an 'unlawful arrest',  who is now there to help those people to get justice?

The changes in legal aid only really helped the insurance companies, big business again, because insurance premiums did not decrease.

After I wrote this post and distributed it. I went to make a coffee as my son had bought his mum a new kettle due to the other one going on Saturday evening with the oven. When I looked out of the window, a small blackbird had come to visit. The bird sat on the branch of the tree that is beginning to blossom in pink. The bird kept on fanning its back feathers, again and again. Then after it could see that I was watching the fanning of the feathers, the feathers were fanned again.

Then the bird flew up to a higher branch, fanned the back feathers again, and again. Then the bird flew off into a specific direction directly in front. Clear message to do with the back and the direction forward. After that I then moved forward with the 'back issue' and asked why people are not receiving MRI scans and being referred to neurologists as the NHS instructed in 2012.

Ted Andrews, author of Animal Speaks, shares with us that blackbird's keynote is 'Understanding of the energies of mother nature' and its cycle of power is the summer. Today, I also made an appointment to see a specialist at the hospital following being referred by the GP, and that appointment is in June 2016.

Blackbird is connected to water, an ancient symbol of the sacred feminine force and nature.

In Europe these birds were associated with St Kevin so it is viewed that if you see a blackbird and receive its message, it is a beneficial sign, it is also an indicator of gentleness and love. Be open to new surprises as they begin to migrate into your life. The bird was very directional as they often tend to be with their messages. Messages that the birds bring to help us with our actions.

Have you considered the possibility of raising the money to have private health care? As the NHS does not move fast enough. It costs approximately £200 for an MRI scan with a BUPA hospital and you can receive it after you have visited a BUPA GP prior to being booked into having the scan. If you can afford it and require an urgent diagnosis, that could be the best way forward for you. Seriously, otherwise you can wait years to get the help that you require.

You know what Jesus said don't you, there was nowhere for him to lay down his head. Do you think it was any different for yours truly? I didn't find anyone that could do what I could do. Although it was lovely when a huge cherub laid his head next to mine.

Also modern ovens have fans in them don't they, and the bird was fanning its back feathers. What else do we have on the fan do you know? The fan in the hand of Christ. No coincidence then that a fan was put into my hand when my son and I were in Sydney all of those years ago. The mission of compassion for 'depressed and suicidal children'.

If I have to use my own life to defend the poor and disabled, that is what I do. For Zion defends the dignity and human rights of our people.
