This is a normal post i have only given the petition a brief read though, and a few things jumped out at me, this one in particular.
does this mean what i think it does?
"and those who do not have a strong connection to this country qualifying for legal aid."

This is a normal post I think it does, johnny foreigner who gets in to trouble in the UK will get some legal aid.
The sort of thing that the Daily Mail gets high blood pressure over. I wonder if the government should consider making the legal profession charge less than they do, lawyers charge a fucking fortune to do anything!

This is a normal post No, it doesn't.
It only seeks to prevent legal aid for such litigants in *civil* cases. Such defendants in criminal cases will continue to qualify for legal aid (but they will also be affected by the other proposals).

This is a normal post This is the language used to describe forrins, including those from elsewhere in the EU
So if it was enacted as written then the rules would probably be unlawful under European Law. So no change there.

Frankly, this lot seem quite incompetent in their ability to correctly draft legislation which actually complies with other legislation.

This is a normal post well i would hope it would be unlawful under your own laws, not just the EU.

This is a normal post That's the beauty of their incompetence
European law *is* our law, but they seem too short-sighted to actually realise it, and then huff and puff when the ECJ actually picks them up on it.
