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!

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).
