Employment tribunal fees unlawful, Supreme Court rules

Fees for those bringing employment tribunal claims have been ruled unlawful, and the government will now have to repay up to £32m to claimants.
The government introduced fees of up to £1,200 in 2013 to reduce the number of malicious and weak cases, but that led to a 79% reduction over three years.
Trade union Unison argued the fees prevented workers accessing justice.
The Ministry of Justice said the government would take immediate steps to stop charging and refund payments.

Another small step but in the right direction.

What's next, prosecuting the then US president and the CIA for lying, along with all those who joined voluntarily? Freedom fries! :haha:

The whole thing was a mess to present and what is around the corner will be a mess. Political in fighting among the cabinet to the party and opposition is going to land this country into a mess. That is to say another mess on top of so many others people just to quote Winston Churchill..Keep buggering on.

Hopefully the electorate will treat him similarly at any future election :nope:

Considering the severity of the consequences of certain political decisions and misjudgements, no longer voting somebody into office hardly can be seen as an adequate form of holding that someone "responsible". Thats like giving a bank robber who killed two clerks and injured customers before escaping with 2 million, an order to stay away form the house, and thats it.

Everybody is liable for his deeds and actions. Politicians are the only ones who make it a rule to escape that rule. Unacceptable. That the scum raises to the top in government (Hayek) maybe has somethign to do with this state of things...? If evolution fails to sort out those unfit to survive (not imaginable a scenario if you understand what the term evolution means in processing existence, but just for a imaginery illustration), what do you get? A species of unfit individuals. No surprise then if such a species fails and fails and ever growing frequency and intensity. Medicine knows exmaples of that it is right like this.

Never shall politicians be allowed to exclude themselves form the rules they lay down for others - or to make a legal claim that they shall not be responisble for what they do. And responsibility - is more than just a ritualised verbal phrase. It is action, compensation, maybe penalty.

Skybird had posted this, do you still think that this public "mourning" (you could call it populistic abusing and justifying wrong decisions) can be a real excuse to dead men, or really reminds "patriotic" politicians like May of the past, and how to avoid it?
It is May's job as the prime minister and others in charge to go there, and not Corbyn's. Why weren't you there, or me?

Considering the youth vote boosted old JC the bulk of the youth rather go out and get drunk and laid. The kick in the ballot box will only happen if old JC snubs his youth vote and kicks them in the wallet.
