20.8.11 Moors Murderer

Apparently Ian Brady was 'won' £8,000 of taxpayers money, so he can fight his legal battle to be able to starve himself to death!  What is it with this country?  We spend £2.1billion per year funding the legal aid system, and the government is trying desperately to reduce that bill by excluding certain cases from the qualification criteria.  Then, there's a golden opportunity presented to save the taxpayer a fortune by allowing a murderer to have his wish.  But no, instead of saving about £50,000 per year on keeping Brady a prisoner, we refuse to let him have his wish to die.  Then, he manages to get legal aid of £8,000 to try and win a case that will save the taxpayer so much more per year.  This is all screwed up.  Let him die.
