For democracy to be safe and effective, the population must be educated. A prime facet of a good education is learning how to think critically and question effectively. Without this, democracy becomes the rule of the mob, and we all know how well mobs can be influenced by madmen.
Looks like another example of the naivety of this new government being taken advantage of by the modern-day feudal barons in the DWP - similarly to those in the Treasury that got the WFA removal back on the agenda. The ethos and 'corporate' culture of the DWP is pure evil and something needs to be done about it. Sadly pitchforks and bonfires will be of little use, but they are about all that the beaten-down population of this benighted country has left.
Anyone who believes that a solicitor has acted improperly on their behalf has a very simple way of addressing that grievance - complain to the Law Society. Complaints are taken seriously, and if found to be valid, the implications for the solicitor in question can be serious.
And no, I don't work for TLS.
This type of fraud is common, and has been common for years now. The Telcos don't care - or report it to the Police. The same goes for the banks who are also involved.

Worked every time.
And DUX/Tru64 - which was dropped like a hot potato. I was on a focus group shortly after the acquisition that looked into which features should be ported from Tru64 to HPUX. The top items were remote management and the cluster file system. Interestingly, HP decided to drop the lot and go with the v1.0 product from Veritas. I never understood why.
