Quite funny the current UK government banging on about reforming Legal Aid. They've decimated Legal Aid during their time in office and made justice much more difficult for poorer people to obtain. Trusting them to sort out Legal Aid is like trusting a lion to look after your kids.
I really do feel for Charlotte's family, her dad is spot on. When the police say they're doing everything what they actually mean is we've passed the details on to other European Police via Interpol but we aren't actually doing any active searching.
The solicitors also showed how woefully out of touch they are as well, talking about a £30,000 fee as though it's loose change. It's double what some poorer people earn in a whole year!
