What Is One Profession That You Have Absolutely Zero Respect For?

It's the good guys that root out the bad apples.

What would it be like if  the bad apples were never found?

The 'bad apples' explanation was recently debunked by Baroness Casey in her review of the Met - it goes a lot deeper than that. But it's still impossible to rationally have zero respect for an entire profession.

Strange, you never seem to give a toss about that when cases are being pursued by those so-called poverty stricken benefits claimants against the evil DWP.

 

Or cases about those poor downtrodden public sector workers with their unions continually challenging the government over pay or terms or changes to contract.

 

Or all those do-gooder organisations continually seeking to thwart and delay government policy with their endless judicial reviews or challenges against parliament or screaming and demanding yet another multi million pound public inquiry over something.....

 

Very selective Anna.  Perhaps you think the state should just roll over and cash out every claim and challenge it gets. 

 

It's entitled to put up a fight just as much as anything else. 

Something like 70% of benefit claims that go to court are upheld.

 

What a pity that the assessors who see these people don't get it right in the first place thus saving both time and money. Some of the refusals are ludicrous, and contain outright lies that were never said etc. Although they'll deny it, it is obvious that the Tory agenda is to refuse first, and hope that the people who are the most sick and vulnerable in society will simply run out of the energy needed to pursue it through the courts. 

 

Some do, and commit suicide instead.

But the profession as a whole is lawyers. This is why this is a troll topic/thread, because there is no profession for which anyone should have zero respect.  Even the police, with their racism, their corruption, misogyny and abuses of power - there are still some who do a good job to keep people safe.

Yes, well said. Estate Agents are detested when some folk are buying, however a far different story when they obtain a far greater selling price than thought possible. Plastic surgeons charging the rich fortunes to improve their looks, against the same guys when they’re putting your face right following an accident.

 

Horses for courses comes to mind.

Tv and movie stars putting unbelievably trivial news online and in newspapers about their depression, nervous breakdowns etc even when their pets have died to get more work themselves.  There are ordinary people fighting cancer etc who suffer in silence.

Absolutely!

 

And the "journalists" who dutifully print the irrelevant nonsense, a close second!

 

I mean, how much of Jennifer Aniston's thoughts on her latest dating experience does one need?
