Rejected petition Change the law so that what is left of the legal aid fund CANNOT be ring-fenced for handing over to foreigners.

More details

It is plainly evident that people who pay into it are barred from access so it is easy pickings for foreigners, in foreign lands, to get into it to fund legal proceedings AGAINST the people who pay into it. This MUST be stopped.
