An extract.... lifted from Wiki.. about the legal career of Cherie Blair
Legal career
A member of Lincoln's Inn, she became a barrister in 1976 and Queen's Counsel in 1995. In 1999, she was appointed a Recorder (a permanent part-time judge) in the County Court and Crown Court. She was Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 1999-2006, and on 26 July 2006 was awarded the honorary title of Emeritus Chancellor. She is also Governor of the London School of Economics and the Open University. She is a founding member of Matrix Chambers in London from which she continues to practise as a barrister. Matrix was formed in 2000 specialising in human rights law, though members also practise in a range of areas of UK public and private law, the Law of the European Union and European Convention on Human Rights, and public international law.
She specialises in employment, discrimination and public law and in this capacity has occasionally represented claimants taking cases against the UK government.
Cherie Blair has appeared in a number of leading cases. A notable example before the European Court of Justice was concerned with discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. See ECJ Case C-249/96, Lisa Jacqueline Grant vs. South-West Trains Ltd. In November 2007, she expressed interest in becoming a senior judge.

I'm failing to find the so-salled scumbags(to whom Kentswingers referred) she represents in that brief list.
Note the fact that she specialises in Human Rights and anti-discrimination cases....
No wonder he doesnt like her!!!!
And no wonder he doesnt wish to comment further.
Fuck me... I should become a lawyer!!!
I don't see anything wrong with Deecee's comments on this thread... I don't understand what's wrong with someone who is in the business (if that's what he seems to be saying) telling the facts as they actually are - I don't see any reason for the flouncette.
Well, until I read that masterpiece, I never realised just how supercilious, self centred and self indulgent you really are.
But hey, we got confirmation that you are not a lawyer which is contrary to the impression you tried to give earlier, so for me I've achieved my objective for today.
Cheers! :cheers:
You have a nice day now :lol2:
Anyway, after that childish intrusion, back to the plot.
I agree with T7 about Govt pension rights. Mostly, the high rise in Council Tax is to prop up curious rights for (now) highly paid officials in local Government.
Where is the justification for that?
Years ago, there was a Council Secretary or some such similar named individual who really did do a days work and was genuinely interested in the provision of cost effective services to the community. Then came along the Labour on a wave of "it can only get better" and all I saw was my bills rising year on year after pensioning off the old guard and installing high powered "executives" whilst the level of services reduced.
In the last Council under which my house and business premises were included, the staffing levels became horrendous which, of course, the local tax payer has to fund.
Pensioners who couldn't afford to pay (because their pensions had been plundered by - sorry, you guessed it, Gordon Brown as Chancellor) were sent to jail.
They were generally self-serving autocrats with grand designs on huge pensions to match those of their bed partners in Westminster.
I don't quite agree with Ben; politicians are extremely dangerous and come the revolution should be called to account alongside bankers.
you know that Cheery Blooth?
that's your mum that is

oooooooooooooooooooooooooh ! :shock:
gaunty, its a diversion. the government is and has been since 1649, in the pocket of the banker's. the chairman of rbs and any other bank's pension pales into insignificance to the billions of pounds of taxpayers taxes and future taxes that have been committed to bank balance sheets for the next 50 years. the ponzi scheme of valueless derivitives (packaged liar loans) renamed securitised investment vehicles, collaterised dept obligations, credit default swops ad infinitum bullshit was banker driven. now the music has stopped ( fictitous paper inflationary boom ) the bankers get their puppets (muppets) to commit the rest of us to a future of deprivation to keep their masters (userers)in power/wealth. when number ten's spin doctors say gordy has called a meeting of banksters to get them lending again read :- "gordy, we are coming over to your place to tell you how much you are going to give us, spin it how you like ! the bank of england is not the bank of "england". it is a private company of private shareholders. read ur notes.
