But beware the old mantras:
1. You’re too late; too much time has elapsed.
2. Speak to the relevant authorities.
3. It’s not a matter for the Attorney General’s Office.
Speak to people like Margaret Gomm; nearly eighty, and still striving to get justice.
She lost her home in Herefordshire, and the beloved animals she’d rescued, through her lawyers putting, a then, inexperienced barrister, (but now both experienced and very wealthy) on to the plaintiff’s case. He was pitted against a defending barrister (who soon after became a judge) acting for the cowboy builder she’d been conned into employing and the case was tried in Aberystwyth.
For more than twenty years Margaret has written hundreds of letters to hundreds of people, including HMQEII; all the Attorney Generals and MPs who have come and gone during the intervening years. None have offered any help – nor a spark of hope, although their honeyed words have dripped like sweetened poison from their pens.
There’s not a spider’s strand of decency or honour among any of them, only their ability to stick together, and catch the unsuspecting in their webs of deceit.
