I fought the law and the law won!

Honestly I am really tired of the ongoing assumption that all lawyers are money grabbing crooks. OK to the debit side of the legal profession we have the Clintons and Tony and Cherie Blair. But in the credit column, Nelson Mandela and Ghandi not your average money grabbing crooks you must agree.

Anyway - while we are talking of the good guys, respect to these guys in Pakistan who have objected to the sacking by the government of a judge who was hot on human rights. Another reminder of why tyrants including the lovely Tone, hate independent professionals.
