Death by a thousand cuts

So it seems all are expecting The Lord chancellor to replace plan a with inevitable plan b, cuts. 

Does no one up there see the reality of what is going on down here in the trenches? 

An example at the same time they have published the quasa fee structure. That is how much every criminal solicitor will need to pay to practice in the mags. Isn't that why we pay our practising certificate fee  and duty scheme fee?

If you want to practice as hca there are more fees. The feeling is we are being bled dry. 

Cuts to fees and increased costs plus rising inflation followed by reducing volume , doesn't take an accountant to work out the inevitable.
