Focus: The law society: Chancery lame

How on Earth can you say Des Hudson has 'striven to do his best for all'? A man gives himself a 40% pay rise up to £400,000 PA when everyone around him is seeing financial pain, legal aid cuts are coming in, the Law Society does not even act as a regulator anymore, and he is meant to be some kind of saint doing good for all? Are you totally barmy? Sorry, but it all looks just like it is. Worse, is he not paid by the very lawyers who are now losing out? Young lawyers with little future are paying money into the Law Society which is then being turned into a huge pay rise for someone, who legally, no longer has almost any say over how lawyers operate. The Law Society now is just a quango and pretty much pointless, that its Chief fills his pockets at the same time as all this turmoil is a terrible message - but sadly a message we have come to expect from such organisations. Abolish the Law Society now and return the money to the profession.
