That's my feeling about many lawyers, they jist distort the truth & earn their money dishonestly.

Aye, it's a system, right enough ... when someone is handed a 5-year stretch for ... let's say ... forgery [which involves only money] yet, at the other end of the scale, violent crime elicits a sentence of a few months at most [often backdated, into the bargain!] - even on occasions when the hapless victim is likely to be left physically and - not least - emotionally - scarred for life!

The trick is, join their political party. Go to all the local fundraisers and then once they get to know your face. Ask your local MP over a beer Something tells me you would get an answer straight away.

Although, sadly I know a deeply rooted member of the Labour party who seems to get his queries sorted out pretty quickly as he has taken this method (and might one day run for Council).. Seems the only way to get ahead is to join their "Old boys Network"

Sorry but 2 years, why have you let that amount of time go by?

And how many of your friends have to had contacted the MP as well ?

If we give up at the first hurdle what's the point?

As I said I got ,my MP to vote in favour of capital punishment when he was going to vote against it. When I asked how how many of the 100,000 in his constituency had called he he said I was the third, but that each of us was in favour.

a few years ago when the gov brought in the 'life in uk ' test and increased the visa fees by a lot, some people decided enough was enough, and started a petition, they only got a few 100 signatures, like the gov will take notice of that , which they didn't.

the fact is most people didn't want to rock the boat, increase their risk of their visa being refused or future ones being refused or they couldn't be bothered about protesting so they do nothing

i agree with what you say thou..

why i didn't do anything, I'm sad to say, as i've said 'i'm alright jack' its not my problem any more, visa's no longer effect my wife. i was just 1 signature of a few 100 who signed it , out of 100,000s of people who were effected.

the fact is *most people didn't want to rock the boat ...

... unless *THEY, themselves happened to be DIRECTLY affected!
