England removes your right to a lawyer, replaces it with the right to make a phone call to a call centre staffed with non-lawyers who give legal advice.

And don't forget, those non-lawyers? If you're in London, most of them used to be the people across the table from you, interviewing you (i.e. cops). Conflict of interest please? To go?

I liked the quote "call-centre justice on the cheap", because we know that call centers will get out-sourced.

Hmm, which country will get the contract?

Holy crap, I didn't know about that. You can just see a scandal just waiting to happen...

Wow. Now they are one step below Australia! (We have an implied right to a lawyer...)
