Picked up a well known barrister last night we were talking politics and he said he hoped next election most of the far left get their exit papers I agreed fucking wasters .He said that retard who wants to legalize drugs what is that about ,so for fairness I set him this question .Young Dommo Big Dommos great granson sells drugs in the flats earns about 1000 a week lots of customers buy stuff of him makes them happy .Sedric Rilly went to trinners got a first in physics works for Terminator Technologies making guided weapons systems for nuclear warheads comes out with a grand a week nobody happy about the prospect of being nuked different if he was making bullett proof vests as they would protect people nuclear weapons can only destroy .So asked him which one of theme was more morally responsible the drug dealer or the weapons developer his answer was .Well the lad with the job from Trinners pays his taxes .I kid you not .

beach bum trust provision

Why are you surprised, JohnM?  The community that both live in set rules about how the community wants to organise themselves.  Sedric isn't breaking any rules that the community live by - you personally just don't like his job.  Much like a vegetarian probably wouldn't like what a butcher does.  Doesn't make it illegal or morally wrong.

Anyways, do barristers have personal opinions?  I'd imagine they must get confused seen as they're paid to argue black=white one day and black /= white the next, depending on what the client wants?
