Is that a straight headline lift from the Express or the Mail?

'Mr Balance' turns into right-wing red top populist ranter?

I don't think anyone will have the slightest sympathy for these vile scumbags, but it is the job of their lawyers to represent them at the Tribunal and ensure as far as they can though their arguments that the law is properly applied and the final decision is made on the basis of a full understanding of any relevant facts.

That protects the rest of us - not just their clients. I thought you believed in the rule of law - for everyone?

If you don't like the law or its application blame the politicians. They can change that.

But turning on lawyers (I assume here publicly funded and allocated the case) just for doing their job is shit.
