Rejected petition Prohibit Legal Aid for all persons charged with offences in relation to the recent looting.

More details

Legal Aid should not be granted for any person charged with any offence directly related to any offence they committed during the recent riots across the UK. To grant Legal Aid to these people is an insult to the honest hard working people across the country who have lost their businesses, their homes and tragically the lives of loved ones.
