So true! :) x 2013-11-27T00:15:56Z Comment by KEPLER Junction Oh so true! Did make me smile too. Nice one Tom 2013-11-10T16:29:44Z Comment by Bootup Sound Great to hear one of your demos, and by doing so it really feels that you have joined our side of things. The lyrics are very appropriate, and the unfairness of the law being available to the super rich only is completely wrong. However it is not fair that legal aid is only available to the poor, what about the middle classes who earn enough to live ok, but couldn't possibly take legal action. Then there are the lawyers that are just charging too much. Maybe no win no fee should apply throughout the justice system. Lets hope the government listen. 2013-11-04T08:41:50Z Comment by Badbelly Bliss 2013-10-29T07:43:02Z Comment by ISSIMO Justice is a whore!! 2013-10-29T01:14:37Z Comment by ISSIMO Great lyrics!
