Lets just hope it does not come to it.
Well.. it is is now the last few hours... this is in, and we can only hope. and wait - good luck to those who are in teh Council to fight for us all.
Remember... the Law Society had no trouble setting minima for trainees. so if they find it ok, then I guess we can. They commented that it was unusiual... but that is in part because we are unable to move from where we are.
I want to open up a new debate on a possible way forward for BAJR..
