Episode Details

€123 million of taxpayers’ money has been set aside for free legal aid this year… and Jeremy is raging. After hearing about a career criminal with 129 previous convictions back in court, he asks: why are we funding repeat offenders’ defence, again and again? Adrian argues it’s a constitutional right — access to justice and a fair trial, no matter who you are or what you earn. Jeremy wants a “three strikes and you’re out” rule… while some callers go even further and say scrap legal aid altogether. From family law horror stories and massive legal bills, to “scrotes in tracksuits” and court translators, this one turns into an explosive, no-holds-barred debate.
