London firm offers divorce vouchers for Christmas

Ha! Finally it outs...Divorce lawyers have long tried to con the public that they are some maligned species of angel, helping unhappy couples to a mutually-agreeable solution...whereas, as practically anyone who has been through a 'normal' divorce (ie one not involving squillions, where a bill the size of a planet is disguised in a 'win' of millions) knows only too well, divorce lawyers delight in squeezing every last penny out of both parties, stoking personal anguish to achieve greater billable hours. They have no incentive but to make divorce as bitter, lengthy and arduous as possible. Lloyd Platt's witless publicity stunt has indeed bought her publicity, but let's hope the next time she 'graces' the couch on BBC Breakfast blathering about mediation, some clever spark will remind her of this odious scheme.
