Did you loose property or wages because of how the government handled the coronavirus outbreak then call this number , chancers one and all. Spot on there, are you a legal parasite 😁 All joking apart, you are correct and it's quite sad. There is no doubt the poor old NHS who have worked in extremely demanding circumstances will be subject to a massive list of claims at the end of all this.

They now have a friend is is more than willing to step in on their behalf in order to make money . Furthermore they way the legal profession advertise their 'services ' and the possible financial gains people can make by using them ,is blatantly encouraging people with low morals to exploit every possible situation. How many of us have had that mysterious and unsolicited phone call asking us about the accident we were involved in an not our fault. And most of us take no notice of the calls. Just blaming ‘the legal profession’ is lazy and ignores the decline in moral values across the population as a whole. IMO. I agree that no win no fee has driven this but this is a fault of the government rather than the legal profession. I believe this has been tightened up now although I could be wrong.

It was the same in respect of blaming the banks for the financial crises when it was as much the fault of the general population for overcommitting themselves. I thought it was generally accepted that the main culprit for the 2008 crash was lack of financial regulation and supervision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly. Allowing banks to hold less capital and increase risk appetite which was fuelled by a feeding frenzy from borrowers wanting to ‘invest’ in property.
