Pecking the liver of Justice
by loiswakeman @ 22/04/2008 - 17:02:14

While I drank my afternoon cuppa just now, I watched a TV ad for InjuryLawyers4U - a piece I found rather nauseatingly self-righteous, urging us to go out and sue someone for something we probably brought on ourselves by being clumsy or not looking.

il4uPersonally, I abhor all this litigation culture stuff: people ought to take responsibility for their own actions rather than always blaming someone else for accidents. Of course, sometimes there is gross negligence and that ought to be punished in the criminal courts - but not the everyday stuff that can happen to us all.

So, I am proposing a new strapline for their next campaign to go with the green eagle in the ad: instead of "InjuryLawyers4U - fixing the spiritual balance",

InjuryLawyers4U: Pecking the liver of Justice since 2002

Can you get the link to the new ad to work? All I got was a blank screen, and the browser window was resized to fit. How dare they?

Not too long ago, lawyers were not allowed to advertise...how times change!

I agree with all you say! The link worked fine when I tried it.

THis idea of suing everything that moves has been gathering momentum these last twenty odd years.... and it's a pity because it stifles us so much.

I was reading Tacitus' Agricola this afternoon (needed something out of it for some research but didn't find it) and it's surprising how little has really changed. Britain was ruled by bullies and cowards then, and it is now.
