Zero-hours contracts

[xoggoth]

So all contractors understand zero hours contracts?

Best contract I ever had. Working at home whenever the client sent me something. Much nicer than being in an office all day.

Legal aid = lower rates

Opperman prosecuted and defended in a number of murder and rape trials.[citation needed]

While a barrister, he did many years of pro bono work with the Western Circuit Free Representation Unit and the Bar Pro Bono Unit, providing free legal assistance in hundreds of cases on behalf of Victim Support and Citizens Advice Bureau. The Times named him "Lawyer of the Week" in 2007 and was awarded the Bar Pro Bono Award by the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith QC, for his voluntary work on behalf of victims in Criminal Injuries Compensation Appeals. In 2009 the Attorney General, Baroness Scotland QC, presented him with a Pro Bono Hero award in the House of Commons for his work on preventing hospital closures. He is now a "door tenant" at 3PB and is no longer in active practice at the Bar having committed to being a full-time Member of Parliament.[5]

There are lots of Tory jokes going around at the moment.
